POPSNYT: "Europeans Transfer Chad Mission to U.N." Gen. David Leakey, director-general of the European Union’s military staff, said that the Irish had worked hard to keep the force’s neutrality. “Look at the balance,” General Leakey said. “This has not been a French operation in an E.U. flag, but it delivered some significant security here. It’s served as a bridge for the U.N. to come and gave some more confidence to the people of Chad.” He praised the Europeans for moving relatively quickly with force into one of the most isolated and severe environments possible. But it was “not a war-fighting operation,” he emphasized. “We need to be careful that the E.U. not be stereotyped as a tree-hugging operation. Next time we might face something rather more vigorous.” ... New York Times

POPSJohn Ging: UNRWA Irish ex-army. Can he survive the REAL Terrorists?
As director of operations for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, Ging has seen the impact of Israel’s bunker-busters, smart bombs and artillery, mortars, tanks and white phosphorus shells on living flesh and the jerry-built concrete constructions where Gazans dwell and work. As director of operations for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Ging has seen the impact of Israel’s bunker-busters, smart bombs and artillery, mortars, tanks and white phosphorus shells on living flesh and the jerry-built concrete constructions where Gazans dwell and work. On Thursday morning, UNRWA’s headquarters compound at the centre of Gaza City took direct hits from Israeli rounds, which set fire to its warehouse and wounded three staff. Like everyone else in Gaza, Ging cannot escape the trauma of war. He feels the pangs of hunger of Palestinian families who have not received UNRWA rations since the war began on December 27th, who cannot leave their home

POPSNov 11 1918: INGLORIUS Date in US Army records (hidden) In the few short hours before 11am of 11/11/1918, United States army casualties were in EXCESS of 3,000 . This was hugely in excess of ALL loses of ALL the other armies!!! Did US men have a death-wish? No, but US generals were quite willing to expend their men's lives on whims! In one instance there were 300 casualties to capture a bath house. So that officers could bath in luxury, 300 died. They was a subsequent inquiry. Its findings were judged so damaging to the US army image that it was never published. Data courtesy of BBC

POPSWhy The Brits Are Setting Terrorists Free It is surely no accident that this failure to grasp the true dimensions of the Islamic terrorist threat is so pronounced among the British elite. For these are the people whose education and careers embody the key attribute of Britain's liberal society – the belief that the world is governed by rational agents acting in their rational self-interest. The British ruling class just doesn't get religious fanaticism. That is why its judges and politicians are finding it so difficult to fight Islamic terror. Not just Britain but the whole world is less safe as a result.

POPS"To Hell or to Connaught" Ethnic Cleansing 17th Century style
The Irish recognise modern day ethnic cleansing because we have a long tradition of real ethnic cleansing like as practices by the Zionist on the modern Irish, the Palestinians. Ours is no false myth either. Like our Famine, detailed records are there for all to see. We were dragged into the English Civil War. Being neutral was as guilty as being on the King's side. We were required to give up our faith to have ant chance of retaining residence. This is not to rehash history or beat up on the bad Brits as most good Brits have Irish blood somewhere. It's to indicated that the 'victim' race have by no means a right to their beloved victimhood. We Irish have risen from the equal of black slaves to our present elevated position when we gave up the begging bowl and stood tall. 60 years of independence has made the Zionists the least loved nation on earth. Only what Bush did with the World's goodwill for the USA post 9/11 is on a par with what Israel has achieved with its reputation i

POPS"Under Ben Bulben" WB Yeats, 1923 Nobel Prize Literature I SWEAR by what the sages spoke Round the Mareotic Lake That the Witch of Atlas knew, Spoke and set the cocks a-crow. Swear by those horsemen, by those women Complexion and form prove superhuman, That pale, long-visaged company That air in immortality Completeness of their passions won; Now they ride the wintry dawn Where Ben Bulben sets the scene. Here s the gist of what they mean. II Many times man lives and dies Between his two eternities, That of race and that of soul, And ancient Ireland knew it all. Whether man die in his bed Or the rifle knocks him dead, A brief parting from those dear Is the worst man has to fear. Though grave-diggers' toil is long, Sharp their spades, their muscles strong. They but thrust their buried men Back in the human mind again. III You that Mitchel's prayer have heard, 'Send war in our time, O Lord!' Know that when all words are said And a man is fighting mad, Something drops from eyes long blind, He completes his par
