Salthill Air Show Obscenity

category national | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Saturday July 05, 2003 19:40author by John Cunningham - GalwayAllianceAgainstWarauthor email johnliamsheain at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

PROTEST ON SUNDAY, 2.30 pm

It's the time of year again for the Salthill Air Show, two days when the citizens of Salthill and the Claddagh are driven almost demented by the sonic booms of the latest military hardware. It is all family entertainment, you understand.

Bring the kids to along to watch A-10s loop the loop, but don't tell them that these same A-10s were developed to drop uranium-enriched warheads onto the heads of independent-minded people in faraway lands (It could your turn one day, sonny). You wouldn't like to tell the boys and girls either that the Tornados flying past are used to drop cluster bombs —very impressive weapons, with brightly coloured bomblets which are mistaken for soft-drinks cans by children in Afghanistan, Iraq, and such places. It's regrettable that sometimes these children lose a limb or two when they pick up the bomblets, but that's life —you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

The killjoys in the Galway Alliance Against War are trying to discourage people from attending this harmless event. Today they distributed thousands of leaflets with information about the warplanes and advising people of eleven alternatives for a family day out —Turoe Pet Farm, Connacht Final, &c.

The same killjoys are organising a protest against the show on Sunday afternoon. All whingers and dogs-in-the-manger in the Galway area should assemble at Fr Burke Park on Fr Griffin Rd at 2.30 pm, from where they will head to Salthill after a short workshop session.

Anybody who would like more information about the birth defects cause by "uranium enriched" US WMDs can refer to:

WARNING: This is pretty gruesome stuff.
Do not attempt viewing on a full stomach.

And by the way, not even US Rambo Superman are immune ....

Of course this is all commie propaganda ....
Real men know that Gulf War Syndrome is all in the mind .....

Hey lone gunman, maybe you're the one who needs to do a little background reading, you half-brained dork.

Didn't you know that "traces" of enriched uranium have been found in warheads fired in Kosovo ?

UN: Enriched Uranium Found in Weapons http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0117-01.htm

Anyway, just in case you don't believe those good for nothing commie-lovers at the UN, the original contributor did not write "uranium enriched bomb" but rather "uranium- enriched warheads" which is semantically quite clear and correct - these are warheads (missiles etc.) which have been "enriched" (i.e. supplemented with) uranium (whether it is "depleted uranium" or "enriched uranium" or plutonium - naturally only in traces ......)

(Of course I keep forgetting that advanced literacy skills are regarded as a symptom of left-wing degeneracy in neo-con circles in the US and among their allies overseas .......)

But glad to see that there are still some gung-ho Rambos left in this godforsaken cess-pit of commie-loving scum.

I just hope that you have deposited your sperm in the bank before you go off to engage the enemy in combat .......

If you know what the hell you are talkin about.A10 fires deplated uranium shells .A uranium enriched bomb is a nuke!Doubt that kids in Afghanistan would have known about a soft drink.Since such things were banned by the peace lovin,women respecting,democratic and tolerant Taliban. But they sure would have known about the green parrott mine.Developed by the ever peace lovin,communist Russians.

As a denizen of salthill I'm delighted sombody is finally standing up to this shite. I don't know anybody who likes that f**kin airshow. A load a noise that ruins the weekend just so a few over grown adolescents can salivate at their bloody fancy planes, with the emphasis on bloody.

I don't think anyone who doesn't live in Salthill appreciates how deafening these things are, it unbelievable!
