Catholic jihad starting back up?
As i have stated before the only peaceful resolution will be the complete withdrawal of british forces and full irish sovereignty.
I don’t know if it’s the Real Ira, Al Qaeda or something else entirely.

“Derry bomb attack condemned”
Published Date: 03 August 2010
Wow, peace has been exploding all around the world since Obama has been in office.
Yeah and who cares what the people want, eh?
I was just talking to a guy from Ireland about a week ago that predicted violence was coming.
And the Protestants will have what, exactly?
Who did he think would be causing the violence?
One bomb does not a campaign make.
Yes, in the same way the only peaceful resolution in Afghanistan will be the complete withdrawal of American forces and full Taliban control of the country.
Does it matter?
I was curious Vanders9 as to what the rest of the conversation was.
Send Bill Clinton.
True, true.

It was very refreshing.

“Derry officials denounce bomb attack on police station
Suspected republican militants forced taxi driver at gunpoint to take device which exploded while area was being evacuated”
Henry McDonald, Ireland correspondent
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 3 August 2010 09.42 BST
SNIPPET: “In May, a mortar bomb was fired at the same police station in Derry. It struck a wall but failed to explode.
The Real IRA is active on the nationalist side of the city and has been responsible for a number of failed murder bids on police officers over the last 18 months.
The attack comes weeks after Derry was boosted by the positive response to the Saville inquiry report into the events of Bloody Sunday, and after it was named the UK Capital of Culture for 2013.”
