US/NATO Troops on their way to war
Where is the so-called Tripple Lock protecting Irish neutrality today at Shannon airport as hundreds of troops from the US the principal NATO state, pass through Shannon on their way to and from the unlawful Iraq War?
Irish neutrality cannot be and is not guaranteed by the Lisbon Treaty inspite of assurances to the contrary by Irish Government spokespersons. Proof exists at Shannon every day as hundreds of heavily armed US troops pass through on their way to the Iraq and Afghan wars. The attached photograph was taken at 10am today.
How can we trust our government on Irish neutrality, membership of military alliances, and complicity in unlawful wars, when blatant abuse of Irish neutrality occurrs at Shannon every day.
