Once again I am confused

In September 2006 the BBC excitedly reported that

"The IRA has put all of its weapons beyond use, the head of the arms decommissioning body has said.

General John de Chastelain made the announcement at a news conference accompanied by the two churchmen who witnessed the process.

"We are satisfied that the arms decommissioned represent the totality of the IRA's arsenal."

Welcoming the move, Prime Minister Tony Blair said IRA decommissioning had been "finally accomplished".

The general said: "We have observed and verified events to put beyond use very large quantities of arms which we believe include all the arms in the IRA's possession.

He said they had handled every gun and made an inventory of the weapons.

The arms included a full range of ammunition, rifles, machine guns, mortars, missiles, handguns, explosives, explosive substances and other arms including all the categories described in the estimates provided by the UK and Irish security services, he said."

Today however the BBC are less happy to report that

"Semtex was used in a dissident republican attack on police in County Fermanagh, a senior detective has said....

Deputy Chief Constable Paul Leighton said he did not know where the Semtex had come from, but "for me it looks as if it came from old stocks".

"As far as I am aware it is the first time they have used Semtex.

"It does not appear to be new Semtex, so it does not raise a concern with me that they have a new supply of Semtex.""

So did the IRA put all of their "explosives" and "explosive substances" "beyond use"? Of course not, just as they didn't put all of their "ammunition, rifles, machine guns, mortars, missiles (and) handguns" "beyond use".

The Labour government colluded with others to get their friends in the Republican movement into power in Northern Ireland and to move the province closer to integration with Ireland. The price of "peace" in Northern Ireland was the release of murderers from prison, the presence of evil men in positions of power and the handing over of parts of the province to the unofficial rule of terrorists and their friends.
