Anti-war movement says war has begun

The Irish Anti-War Movement (IAWM) claimed today the war on Iraq had essentially already begun and it was only a matter of time before a full-scale military strike took place.

"The US decided long ago they were going to attack Iraq. Talk of awaiting the outcome of UN weapons inspections is purely window dressing for public consumption. The US is going in to take over Iraq," said Richard Boyd Barrett, chairperson of the IAWM said.
