#3 I flew through there on the way here and hopefully will fly back through there on the way home. We drank a couple pints and didn't hear or see any problems w/the locals. BTW - I'm Irish American and have flown through Shannon a couple times in the past as well. I even plan on taking my wife to Ireland after my deployment ends. I doubt the general attitude of most Micks is that U.S. troops should not be using Shannon.

The thing that pissed me off the most about this article is the part about Cindy Sheehan sticking her nose in it & going to Dublin. (politics being left at the waters edge & all) Man, I cannot stand this b*tch - the consummate media whore. I'm fairly certain the local businesses our quite happy w/the money they've been making off us.

#5 Let me see if I have this correct.

Signs that a country is not neutral:

1) They fight side-by-side with American troops
2) They provide support personnel and material for American troops
3) An American serving in the military is allowed to buy a bottle of perfume at the airport's duty free store during a stopover

Glad they cleared that up for me.

#6 Bloody micks should understand the threat if anyones does, they've often been credited with inventing bombing and terorism. Screw them all, land at Gatwick. The Brits will appreciate the business.

#7 I have never been more ashamed of my Irish lineage, but then we have our LLL moonbats too.

#8 Glad to see you're up and about, Broadhead 6. I was hoping that things were going well for you and your Marines.... and Mrs. Broadhead and the little guy back home, too.

#9 Such was the ~~demand~~ absence of alternative activities to hearing him speak that 4,000 knuckleheads people were turned away.
