I want Americans to be aware what the IRA is, let’s be absolutely clear.
The IRA is a murderous gang of Marxist Communist terrorist vermin. There is NOTHING “noble” or “romantic” about them. This
b@satrds have murdered and maimed British civilian for the past 30 years. The IRA have colluded with terrorist like Gaddafi of Libya, remember MI5 and the Royal Navy incepted a ship carrying weapons for the IRA back in 1987, a year letter Libya carried the worst terrorist attack in Britain over the skies of Lockerbie. The IRA got help in the 70s and 80s from Ysser Arafat’s PLO, the IRA along with their scumbag comrades ETA trained with the PLO in Lebanon. I remember Enniskillen vividly how those IRA cowards bombed a Remembrance Day service in 1987.
In my opinion Blair has given FAR TOO MUCH to the IRA, releasing IRA prisoners, allowing SinnFein-IRA into the NI Executive allowing Sinn Fein-IRA to drag its feet and avoid decommissioning. A term I greatly find offensive because it gives the IRA a bunch of terrorists an air of legitimacy as if they a legitimate army which they are NOT!
I wish Blair had confronted the IRA like he has confronted Al-Qaeda and fight them. The IRA has murdered more British than Al Qaede or any other mad Islamic terrorist group. I do find it greatly annoying how Blair is willing RIGHTLY to fight Iraq and Al Qaeda but unwilling to show the same resolve against the IRA. Let MI5 and the Military finish them off I say, ignore the Politically Correct bleeding heart appeasement liberals to stew.
