    Ballsbridge has been awash with noisy sirens and police escorts last night and today.

    I was standing watching one barrage of noise go past and a solitary Henry Kissinger was in the car with his drivers.

    Whats this group all about then?

    I was about Damn street and parliment street last night.
    Damn street form Georges street to Christ Church and all the way down to Zaytoon on Parliment street were shut to the public. WHY???
    Who knows? It a secret...
    I ask the gardi what was the story... He replied:
    "I can't say. Its all under raps because of possible terrorist treats. Something to do with Clinton...."

    I asked some others a question or two.
    HUGE secret meeting.
    Interim Leader of Afghanistan
    Billy Clinton
    Mick Gorbechev
    Columbian Leader
    Aznar
    Some British cabinet ministers
    Bertie(the puppet)

    Now I'm no lefty looney but come on it doesn't take a genius to guess that something very sinister is a foot. All this for gifted american youth(in dublin?)??

    New World Order smell to it all... Maybe ZOG is involved

    I supporty the precautions 100%. With the threat of a dirty bomb in Washington, these security measures need to be taken. As far as I'm concerned, the "loony left" (and that includes IndyMedia, SWP and every student/crusty bandwagon-jumper running after them) can take a hike.

    And of course the irish media is more bothered about Paul Mc bleedin Cartney.Typical.
    Useless fact-I once saw helmut kohl from the top of a bus being rushed through dublin in a merc.So there!Put that in your cigar and smoke it or stick it wherever you like putting them willy clinton.

    ReefBreak,

    Open your eyes (also, possibly need to expand your range of thought !).

    The "loony left" (as you call them) are the only people around who aren't guided by their own selfish self-interests and who actually care about the state of the world & it's people.

    For a bit of perspective on the 'dirty bomb' scare mongering of the US government, have a read of the following link (beware you may consider it a bit loony leftie) ;)
