IRA decommissioning

So far the only White House comment is a brilliantly subtle reference by Dubya to the IRA's favourite fund-raising activity:

The Treasury and IRS announced that dyed diesel fuel for off-road use would be allowed on on-road use without penalty.

Gentlemen of Louth -- start your engines!

UPDATE: Now a more explicit White House reaction, perhaps surprisingly adoptive of recent Sinn Fein terminology:

President Bush commends the efforts of General John de Chastelain and his fellow IICD commissioners, and applauds the efforts of Sinn Fein in bringing the republican community to this moment.
