STOP
USING BALDONNEL AIRPORT FOR U.S. WAR MACHINE
Since the beginning of 2003 over 150,000 US troops have stopped over in Shannon Airport. This figure averages at 1400 per month and is set to increase as the US occupation of Iraq intensifies.
The Evening Herald ran a headline a few weeks ago showing a US Hercules aircraft parked in Baldonnel airport in West Dublin, sporting the Jolly Roger (flag of war) flag. US and British military aircraft have been using Baldonnel as a rest-over point on route to Iraq.
We need to highlight the use of Baldonnel as a base for US war machine and its occupation of Iraq. The American regime are poised to send even more troops to back up their brutal and illegal occupation of Iraq. As the war intensifies Baldonnel will be used as Ireland’s second WARPORT.
The Clondalkin Anti War group are calling for a large and lively protest outside Baldonnel Aerodrome to send a message to the Fianna Fail/PD government that Ireland’s neutrality is a sham and to demand an end to the use of Ireland as a US military half-way house.
Assemble at the gates of Baldonnel Aerodrome
(off Naas Road, near West Link Business Park)
Sunday 9th May 3pm
Bring your family, friends, banners, drums, whistles.
