CROCODILE TEARS OF POLITICIANS
Crocodile tears of politicians
I HOPE I may be forgiven for my feelings of cynicism when I near the expressions Republican, and even some Nationalist politicians condemning the Omagh bomb outrage.
On previous occasions when terrorists were shot by security forces while carrying out their deeds, among the first people to condemn the Forces of "shooting-to-kill" were Republicans now crying, what seem to some to be, "crocodile tears."
If these terrorists are captured, tried and imprisoned, will these same politicians be lobbying vigorously for their early releases?
