Northern Ireland cops nab four IRA gunnies
2002-02-18
  • Police seized a rocket launcher and arrested four men in Northern Ireland, officers said, calling the raid "a significant success" against IRA dissidents. Army bomb disposal experts were called in after the weapon and a warhead were found during a raid in a Catholic area of Coalisland on Sunday night. Officers were attacked by a grateful citizenry throwing stones and bottles during the eight-hour operation.
    Why do they call them "dissidents"? Dissidents are people who don't agree with the government. Terrorists are people who launch rockets and shoot people up. Is AP adopting the Reuters stylebook?
    the reason they're called "dissidents" is that the IRA has supposedly given up terrorism and its provos are committed to peace. What's that smell? oh right BULLSHIT... The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist, and I'd support the British nuking Boston to end those filthy IRA bastards.

    Only difference I can see between the IRA and al-Qaeda is the turbans.

    WRONG.... The difference between Al-Qaeda and the IRA is that Tony Blair hasn't as yet given Al-Qaeda their own offices in the House Of Commons, funded by we taxpayers. Give it time, our Tone will talk about "inclusivity" and "taking an opportunity for peace (bollocks)" and it being "relevant" in "the spirit of the millennium" and the civilised thing to do in "the 21st century" and the usual load of shit. It is time to hammer the bastards. I really love it when Islamist murderers, so-called "Palestinians" are always "activists" or "militants", never terrorists, murderers or killers, but the IDF are always pilloried. It makes me sick...
