Another Clinton favorite getting the Texan boot.

There really is a world leader in the fight against terror...GW Bush....

[Aussie Dasher]

The IRA long ago surrendered any pretense of being a Catholic organization fighting for a united Ireland.

Today, it is nothing but a group of left-wing thugs involving itself heavily in organized crime.

[Incorrigible]

President Bush shunning yet another terrorist.

[Bahbah]

Mr Bush now views Mr Adams in the same unfavourable light as he did Yasser Arafat

Ugh, not a club to which one should aspire to belong.

[BulletBobCo]

No more photo ops.

I thought Clinton fixed it.

Guess not.

So good to see you have a president of great integrity over there. Meanwhile, over here the shinners get 12% of the vote in a bye-election. I knew they would hold their vote - this is the great shame of Ireland.

not the Texan boot......the American boot.....Bush speaks for us all, not just Texas

Once you get on George W Bush's sh*t list...

It is so refreshing to see a leader hold people accountable for their promises and their actions!

This reminds me of the way we want Hezbollah to be considered by Europe a terrorist organization and Europe doesn't. The IRA was in a similar situation between England and the US.

And why did CSPIN see fit to air hours of speeches by Gerry Adams last week?

Brian Lamb needs a swift kick in his rear end.

Yes - long may he roam.

Abu Mahzen?

Oh wait, he's a "peace partner."

God Bless President Bush the acceptance of Adams and the IRA in America has always saddened and upset me I am both pleased and relieved that this appears to signal the beginning of the end of that position.

>>>For decades, Irish republicanism has been a source of strain in Anglo-American relations as successive British governments have tried to persuade Washington to clamp down on IRA fundraising in the US. As prime minister, John Major was so angry when President Clinton first granted Mr Adams a visa in 1994 that he refused to take his telephone calls.<<<

This is the crux. Mountains of cash have been sent by traitorous Irish immigrants and sympathizers from the US to these terrorist bastards. Clinton facilitated it. Bush is signaling Adams' illigitimacy in an umistakeable manner. I hope there is a plan to intercept illicit funding from US residents to the IRA.

"And why did CSPIN see fit to air hours of speeches by Gerry Adams last week? Brian Lamb needs a swift kick in his rear end." Now now, lay off Brian Lamb. That was informative and entertaining too.

Pokey beat you to this article, which tells us that McArtney's sisters andfiancee will be visiting the President. I do believe they wrote him a letter.
