This is why Gerry Adams will meet George W. Bush, you should pitty him he has no choice!

Ladies and Gentlemen lets consider where SF gets its money from, lets say ‘97 to ’01 please find below a copy of a document I’ve seen: my favorite “donation” has to be the cheque for US$295,740 in ’01 from the boys and gals on Wall Street – that seems a long way from a “tin” in a pub in west Belfast! Perhaps it’s one of those new Laundromats – I know SF like to recycle their money.

Seems to me like SF raise a massive amount of money in the US, one wonders how anti-US they’ll be now that the war in Iraq started!

I’m sure their principals will come first!
