Shannon Peace Vigil Monitors US Troops

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday February 08, 2009 23:11author by Edward Report this post to the editors

Up to 1,000 armed US troops passed through Shannon today

Business as usual at Shannon airport on 8 Feb 09, showed few commercial airlines landing but three OMNI Air chartered aircraft were being refuelled as they were transporting hundreds of armed US troops through Shannon airport.

As the Bush Iraq war winds down, the Afghan War is being wound up by new US President Barack Obama. Ireland's pathetic attempts to profiteer from these wars was evident at Shannon airport today. Three OMNI air chartered aircraft were at the airport between 2 pm and 4 pm, being refuelled as they transported US troops to and from wars in the Middle East, that have cost up to one million lives so far.
In spite of public service cutbacks, reductions in Garda overtime, and the imposition of pension levies on public service workers, up to 20 Gardai were deployed to deal with half that number of peaceful protesters who posed no threat to anyone. Request to the Gardai to search the OMNI aircraft in case they were carrying US military war criminals or prisoners for torture were rejected.
Now is the time to put pressure on the Irish and US governments to end the transit of US troops through Shannon airport, to demonstrate that real change is happening.
