Bomb parts made in Ireland

Not only is Bertie allowing the Americian war machine to use Shannon Airport most of the computer hardware that goes into the bombs raining on Bagdad is actually manufactured in Ireland.

So much for Ireland being neutral in the war against Iraq most of the Multinational computer companies based in Ireland have increased their production lines to keep up with demand for the computer components that go into the bombs that are destroying Iraq.
The Irish economy is set to benefit by millions of Euros by the end of this conflict putting a lie to comments by Bertie of the importance of Shannon airport to the Irish economy - the true meaning of the Celtic Tiger is that we get rich on the backs of the suffering of millions of people around the globle.
Why doesn't Bertie come clean and let us know?
