‘Question not answered. Obvious answer…most IRA terrorists and supporters were British subjects (duh)’

I don’t think you understand the conflict.
The I.R.A and it’s supporters in Northern Ireland are British. That is what the conflict is all about!
You have just insulted them, they believe they are Irish and want to get rid of Brtish sovereignty .
Their M.P’S when elected don’t take their seats in parliment because they won’t take the oath and doesn’t recognise the state.

It’s not that we in the U.K don’t want an United Ireland,it’s the method used.
Through political means and the principle of consent.
Not through terrorism.
Any supporters of terrorism should be punished whatever their background.

‘Sometimes we deported IRA members, sometimes not. ‘

Why? Explain.
The I.R.A nearly kiled Thatcher and the tory party during their convention in Brighton.
They have killed other M.P’S and members of the royal family. They hit Downing street with mortars.Blew up a church service on remembrance sunday,killing old soldiers with shiney medals.Harrods on christmas eve.
I could go on and on.You are justifying atrocieties.

‘Joe Doherty rotted in prison in America for years, until we were finally able to deport him…’

But not until a street corner in New York was named after him. He was an escaped convicted murderer.Why on earth would it take so long to extradite him that he had time to rot. If a terorist group managed to nearly wipe out the republican party our response would be different. Why do you think thats ok?
Following the Good Friday agreement ,prison release had conditions.We had been trying to extradite him for the eight years prior to the agreement.
The U.S didn’t recognise our judiciary, our democracy,treating it like some third world country.

‘George Galloway.’

?

‘Point: The UK can’t stop it’s subjects from being terrorists and supporting terrorists, but somehow the United States is supposed to guarantee that every last one of our citizens will take the UK’s side in their dispute with the I.R.A.’

We are a least we are having a go. We have strengthened our anti-terrorism laws, and called them terrorists.Your leaders said the I.R.A where freedom fighters.

You have just reeled off successful operations against muslim extremists ,and they are only ones we know about.
The operations are based on intelligence ,like infiltrating mosques.
We also share that same intelligence with your good selves.

Of course you can’t stop every citizen helping the I.R.A. These same Americans used to have drinks called’car bomb’ and ‘Kill a Brit’.

You gave political support,we have frozen extremists assets here, the U.S allowed fund raising for a terrorist group organised by your politicians.Rudy Giullani gave Gerry Adams an award!

You made them legitimate by inviting Sinn Fein to the Whitehouse with no real
conditions.
It’s the same as asking Hamas’ political wing to meet the President.

John Major was absolutley furious about this,apprantley he slammed the phone down on Bill Clinton.Then this happened,

‘Yeah, and the UK released a convicted Libyan terrorist against our wishes.’

I am not condoning that.The U.S reponse. Boycott Scotland especially the small businesses that make tartan.

The Scottish people didn’t agree with this ,i assume you agree with all Obamas policies?

‘No, I’m not with YOU. You’re just looking for any excuse to take the coward’s way out and avoid honoring the formal defensive alliance you have with the United States. Tony Blair I’m with…You? No way.’

Dave mate,you will struggle to find a different view then mine.
You want us to be eternally greatful for an alliance over 60 yrs ago,but ignore the last few decades.
Is there a statute of limitations on ww2.How many more soldiers/people have to die to repay that debt.
We invaded Afghanistan and Iraq with you.We are still losing soldiers lives and limbs but you refuse to acknowledge our support.

without bitching and moaning about it…as usual)

All you do is bitch and moan about it!
‘Freedom fries’-hilarious.The word french comes the word frenched-a way to cut a potato.It has nothing to do with France.It is like me saying thay i don’t agree with the country Turkey so i am not going to eat turkey.
It made as much sense as that.
