THE PRICE OF REWARDING TERRORISM

You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.

Spintime for Peter

This is what the Provos' finest New Labour ally had to say about the decision to hold the Hard Fish on 'support' for the police and rule of law:

'By committing the republican movement to support for the police in the clear and unequivocal terms that it has, Sinn Fein has played its part in breaking the deadlock that has paralysed political progress in Northern Ireland.'

And this is what the Provo motion at the Hard Fish ends with:

'That the Ard Chomhairle is mandated to implement this motion (for PSNI 'support') only when the power-sharing institutions are established and when the Ard Chomhairle is satisfied that the policing and justice powers will be transferred. Or if this does not happen within the St Andrews timeframe, only when acceptable new partnership arrangements to implement the Good Friday Agreement are in place.'

Clear and unequivocal?  Are we missing something, Mr Kenyan blow-in?

Well it's as clear and unequivocal as you can expect when the other party is changing its tune on whether Northern Ireland is mature enough to handle policing practically on a weekly basis.

amazing how peteb on Slugger's posted exactly the same thread 2 mins earlier.
Peteb and AMcCann same?

Both statements are true within their own terms.

In other words when Sinn Fein get this step they will agree. It is still war. However it is as the church would say less spectacular but more efficient. You know the way - secret instead of open warfare.
Deeds in darkness the hallmarks of the catholic institution. Remember Gerry has to report progrss to his spiritual leader - now pope benedick XVI'

What are you on about P'O Neil?

Gerry Reports to his Cumann, the Ard Chomhairle, the Ard Fheis and no one else!

hey Andy,McCann

Hain to you is a Pain
To me a Pleasure

He nurses the process forward, which would otherwise have died long ago, due to unionist intransigence

As Pro-consul I'm glad Republicans have Hain on their side. Tough shit mate ! There's SFA you can do about it.

Percy

The only side Hain is on is his own
Monday, January 15, 2007 at 01:07AM | Unregistered CommenterChris Gaskin
well chris, with Hain's experience in South Africa, another place where it was the Orange Dutch Guys doing bad stuff to the people, I'm certain he's read the Orange unionist bigot mindset, and has plenty more whips to crack, but it won't be on SF's back, once the policing issue is out of the way.

Sir Percy

When you took the mixed race bird to bed, did she give you syphilis? I only ask because syphilitic senility is a long-term consequence of the disease.

>>When you took the mixed race bird to bed<<

Why do you think he likely got a dose from a mixed race bird, Andrew?

Monday, January 15, 2007 at 09:37AM | Unregistered CommenterCunningham
I'm not convinced that that was Andrew Cunningham - I think it might just have been somebody else.

MR

That was me, absolutely.

I am just amazed by the bullshit which passes for considered comment from our ennobled prat, and I wondered whether he had contracted a dose from the one woman he told the Internet world he was 'glowing' after fornicating with.

Andrew you're just peeved as you know its true what I've said about Hain., and you're are afraid to get into a conversation about it, lest you might lose.
Noticed you've not countered any of my points, opting for insults... I love the way you think people can't SEE you hiding behind your vicious rascist mask.
You will be outed my son, in good time.
Roll on power-sharing.

There's nothing to answer. Hain is pro-republican - obviously. He, however, does not control or predetermine the destiny of the pro-Union people.

When Gordon takes over, Hain is out of Ulster. The Union has outlasted every NI SoS, and it will long outlast and outlive this one.
Monday, January 15, 2007 at 01:37PM | Unregistered CommenterAndrew McCann
Hain will quite likely get the poisoned chalice of the Home Office as a reward for his loyalty to Gordon. That will almost certainly be his political graveyard as it has been for so many Home Secretaries. John Reid is merely the latest victim.

thats too funny - good one (post title)

Chris is the statement below a fact....


'Gerry Reports to his Cumann, the Ard Chomhairle, the Ard Fheis and no one else'

Get you head opened and off the ground. It is the unseen that is more real. Do you dispute Gerry went to Rome to see the last pope. No doubt you think this is OK but what is a sworn enemy of Ulster prods going to see another who holds the same view.
Rome does not and cannot change.
Gerry Adams is a child of the church and they could shut him down anytime.
Just as in Rwanda so in Ulster. Read the news from round the world and you will see a pattern of catholic terror. Remember Croatia and the Ustasha.

Cunningham,

When I became a man I spoke like a man.
You speak like a child. No argument but slander the man. Well done and very predictable.
Tripe to you but food to others.
Whose child are you?

When the argument is lost folk like Cunninghan resort to other forms of attack
Monday, January 15, 2007 at 08:41PM | Unregistered CommenterP O'Neil

>>When the argument is lost<<

Argument, P O'Neil? All I read in your comment are the kind of sectarian ramblings one would expect to hear, amid the sound of cursing and breaking glasses, from behind the door of a UDA shebeen in Larne or some such place around midnight.

My response at 7:44 was therefore quite appropriate: dirty hot air for dirty hot air.
Monday, January 15, 2007 at 09:29PM | Unregistered CommenterCunningham
Good reply - when in doubt shout sectarianism.
You have made yourself look foolish with your comments.
