Shannon to Baghdad: Bertie’s route to ruin

THE $185 billion spent so far on the war in Iraq would go a long way to wipe out poverty and save, instead of destroying, at least 100,000 lives.

Unfortunately, the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, and the Government, support the war by providing uncontrolled use of Shannon airport for the transit of US troops and death-dealing weaponry to Iraq, while simultaneously breaking a solemn promise to the United Nations and the international community on overseas aid.

Should we not Make Bertie History?
