This is a disgraceful and disgusting piece of theatre by Bush, Blair and Ahern.

This is a disgraceful and disgusting piece of theatre by Bush, Blair and Ahern.

The first SF knew about this visit was by phone call from BBC office shortly after 3pm. We have been fucked over on this. A BIG decision was due to be made this weekend by IRA, I am not sure that it still will, but the Brits had agreed to the schedule and their response had been seen and approved by the Republician Movement. Then some genius in the US State Dept, from what some Dublin contacts tell us, gets wind of it and next thing we know is that Bush is on his way to coattail on the historic decision.

We have been fucked over, morally this is wrong for SF and politically we are stuck. Stuck and fucked.

No idea still what leadership are planning for next week but, if you like, 'draft' decision is to go. Although contacts have been made with SDLP to organise joint boycott.

The dilemma is;

If we meet this piece of imperialist shit we have collabarated with his piece of propaganda. Namely that he and Blair are peacemakers.

If we don't meet with him we will be left out in the cold with regards to the irish peace process and any final deal will be dealt by SEVERE repressive security measures.

Whatever prick came up with this idea should get a nobel prize for deviousness.

I, for one, am dumbfounded how to ensure the Republician Movement delivers on it military compromises without critically damaging its political appproach to a united ireland.

Other Republicians/Shinners/etc; any ideas on this one?
