MY EVER CHANGING MOODS.



Well, after informing that world of his "optimism" that devolution could be restored a few days ago, Irish PM Bertie Ahern has executed a somersault and now informs us that he has great trepidation for what may happen this year! Come on Bertie - which is it? Can't you make up your mind?



Apart from this indecision from our Bertie, there was an interesting insight when he claims that "If you were to have that kind of frustrated period and rejectionist period that I hope we do not see, then the future would be bleak and you would inevitably get back into some kind of conflict." Mmm..does that sound like a veiled threat to you? Some might think so



Is Bertie now doing Sinn Fein's dirty work for it? Does the Irish PM lack the courage to tell Sinn Fein/IRA that it must disarm or else he will disarm it? If so, might this mean that the Irish Government is little more than a squalid facilitator for the IRA? And if so, maybe someone should tell President Bush that smiling Bertie is little more than the warm up man for P.O'Neil and his goonsquad.
