Bagdad has fallen, people are draging Saddam's head through the streets.... Danagher's resigination was for nothing.
Other members of FF are privately also "outraged" by the government's stance on the war I'm told, but haven't done a damn thing about it. Patrick Danagher's gesture should be welcomed!
Same as the two British soldiers of the 16 Air Assault Brigade who refused to take part in the aggression once they arrived in Iraq and couldn't deny any longer what they were being ordered to partake in.
You and I were never trained as fighter pilots or Fianna Fail cronies. During a time of war like this, to make the journey from environmentalist-student to peace campaigner was a no-brainer for me. Any pressure I've felt has been telling me "resist, resist, resist!". Meanwhile soldiers and government politicians have been harassed by their pay-masters to "conform, conform, conform!" and go-along-with-the-big-boys.
I dunno this particular politician from Adam. But I think its never too late for these people to grow a spine. :-)
The drug dealing councillor has asked to join Sinn Fein. Will they cap'm or have'm??
You would have the people of Iraq live under Saddam, how do you know what's right for them typical middle class hash smoking scum.
In 3 months we'll all see a better Iraq, a Free Iraq, 1124 people died in the liberation - Saddam killed over 5,000,000 during his time. The US did the Iraqi people, the UN and the world a favor.
I feel for the Russian, French & Germans who have lost their oil futures.
The only party I know of that "trains /brain washes" their members is Sinn Fein.
Fianna Fáil develops policy from discussion and debate. Not the crap we see in the SWP, Sinn Fein Labour etc where a few "smarties" tell everyone else what to believe.
I sold him the gear....
It is a pity He has to resign to make his point concerning the use of Shannon Airport...
He just got a 'dope' profile in the Slate and I can't see FF liking that so I reckon he decided that it was a better move to resign over a matter of principle rather than get the boot for pot. The timing says it all.
Well it is a enjoyable welcome to read all your articulated comments, especially those of Fianna fail members, to put the record straight, i do not deal dugs or never have, i also never requested to become a member of SF, Now how many people has died in Iraq ! mmmmm
I was in the unfortunate position to be caught with .07 grams of cannabis. What a criminal! If all the professionals, guards, army, FF member elected, and not elected, were searched or blood tested in a signal day the Irish country would come to a direct halt. FACT. The reason for my resignation from the party still stands today and i still believe it was the correct course of action.
