More Questions for British Army and RUC Over Sectarian Murder Campaign

[picador]

Much of your community seemed to feel the IRA had a right to play God with other peoples lives pic.

The IRA could have saved north Belfast a whole lot of bother by seeing sense and calling off their vicious murder campaign, 2000 dead at the hands of republicans remember.

Night, night.

Ah back to the collective guilt mentality which sustained this murder campaign in the first place. The irony is that many joined the IRA to get revenge.

Divide and conquer, gang and counter-gang - the essence of British imperial policy.

You're loyal to a system which views you and yours as expendable.

Given the choice between (let's say) the British government bending and/or breaking the law to end the 'war' some 20 years ago, and the government keeping strictly to the letter of the law, and the 'war' continuing to the present-day, which scenario, in your opinion, is preferable?

When such questions come to be considered, society, order and the notion of justice begin to fall apart.

Save people by killing them - what twisted thinking from our crazy colonial masters!

People of all backgrounds died because of this attitude.

I am very disappointed by your response.

Do you believe agents were placed in both Republican and Loyalist terrorist organisations to (a) ratchet up the killing or (b) attempt to reign such organisations in?

This much is true.

Perfidious Albion indeed. The Brits will cut the Nordies loose as soon as they feel it is in their best interests. In which case the Brits will turn all republican and apologetic for dividing Ireland.

And those feckin' Nordies, never liked them anyway.

Come on, you know it's true.

The HET also report, presumably based on intelligence, states that Damian Walsh was not the intended target of the gunmen. This raises further questions, not the least of which are who was the target and who supplied the intellgence on that target? Did the British Army unit believe it was witnessing the murder of one or more republican targets and fail to intervene accordingly?

You're disappointed in my reponse!!!

You are the one who is attempting to justify the unjustifiable - the deliberate targetting of a civilian population by death squads

Disguise it under whatever fancy words you want but that's what it amounts to. It's an abstration to you ifor, nothing more. You want to play God? Join the British Army - they wrote the handbook.

BTW the answer to your question was both.

I am not, and you have completely misunderstood my posts.

Why on earth would the British intelligence services want to deliberately target the civilian population?

Do you imagine they were sectarian monsters with a bizarre vendetta against ordinary Catholics?

Your naivety and belief in the good auspices of the British military intelligence community is touching.

I see.

So you do believe that.

Isn't that a somewhat strange belief to hold?

Racist monsters with a hatred of ordinary Irish people.

Isn't that a somewhat strange belief to hold?

No.
