Sec of State dropping in all the time

Condi Rice dropped in to Shannon on Monday, seems like she is a regular down there.

from today's Daily Ireland editorial

"Another controversial visitor to these shores is George Bush’s secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who we learn is constantly popping in and out of Ireland on her way to destabilise regions around the world at her master’s behest, like a commuter through Connolly Station.
There is nothing illegal about Ms Rice’s movements through Ireland, but given her current role in the Bush war machine, and the fact that the US involvement in Iraq is deemed illegal under international law, her transitory visits, conducted as they are under virtual secrecy, are distasteful to say the least. They are also extremely discourteous to the Irish sovereign nation, which is officially neutral – a state of affairs which is being progressively eroded by the inaction and toadying of the current government to more militarily and economically powerful nations."

United States secretary of state Condoleezza Rice made her fifth stopover this year at Shannon airport on Monday. She made eight “refuelling stops” at Shannon last year. She has made five such stops at Shannon so far this year.
