US warship in Cobh visited by Labour Party Mayor: Anti-War Ireland maintains protest vigil

Cobh worthies visit US killing machine Anti-War Ireland maintained a vigil at the Deepwater Quay in Cobh this afternoon where the US warship - the USS The Sullivans - remained berthed. Holding placards against the presence of the warship, several Cobh anti-war activists challenged various local worthies between 6pm and 7pm as they boarded the ship to sup with the captain and his senior officers. In view of her party's stated opposition to the war on Iraq, Doyle's welcoming of this warship is a disgraceful act that the local Labour Party should publicly condemn. USS The Sullivans is an intrinsic part of the war machine of an imperialist power that is responsible for the deaths of countless numbers of innocent people in the Middle East and elsewhere. |

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1A thought just struck me...dummph!...Would this stuff about Sinn Fein, be any chance, be a crude attempt to deflect attention from what the Labour Party Mayor of Cobh did???
It is the Labour Party and Fine Gael and the Cobh business people that should be focused on here. Cap-doffing welcomers of imperialist gunboats.
(P.S. I am NOT a member of SF!!!!!)
True. What about the time when people were being dragged from their homes and murdered? And all the people had to fight back was themselves organised through the Irish Volunteers and then the IRA. Yes, those were tough times when the boot of imperialism lay heavily on Ireland instead of Iraq and Afghanistan as it does today.
It took long enough to get the Royal Navy and their imperialist gunboats out of Cobh (not until just before WW2 actually) and, under NO circumstances, are we going to allow them to be replaced by warships and a naval presence from yet another imperialist power! No way.
This isn't just about being anti-war (Bono is anti-war); it's about being anti-imperialist.
And I get even sicker when I see that you are now linked to the biggest crowd of killers ever in this Country Sinn Fein/IRA.
What a great group of people, its a disgrace that Sinn Fein/IRA are protesting against the Brits and the US about the war in Iraq. What about the war in this Country where they murdered thousands of innocent people.
As the saying goes "They Havent gone away"
Within the space of a week there's been a British warship and now an American warship. And tieing in nicely with the new Defence Act. Welcome to Nato, little pixie folk?
If the Labour Party are serious about neutrality and about opposing the war on Iraq, their Mayor of Cobh should be forced to resign because of this! No ifs or buts about it.
