| #24 Dumpster, don't you have a touch of Tourette's Syndrome there, old boy? If the only alternative is whatever you suffer from, then maybe I do. Remember, don't fire the bullets straight up in the air. |

| #21 If you can't trust a jihadi's word, whose can you trust? I'm sooooo disappointed. Yeah, this one is going to keep me awake on the long winter nights, too. I'm waiting for threats/bombs/hostages to get the Madrid boomers released. Tou-fucking-ché |

| #19 Aw, jeez, you mean appeasement doesn't work? And the Islamonazis said they would wait before bombing again. I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you. If you can't trust a jihadi's word, whose can you trust? I'm sooooo disappointed. |

| #18 flash91: I said they would get hit again. Heh, you really went out on a limb there! |

| #17 When they said "truce," they actually meant; "Once all Spanish women are wearing burkhas and every man in Spain bows towards Mecca, then we'll declare a truce." Appeasement works fine and dandy, just ask any survivor of the Blitz. |

| #16 C'mon everybody. The glorious lions of the desert . . . the fighters for Islam . . . the holy warriors of Allah . . . would NEVER do something like that! They promised. Must be somebody else. |

| #15 Appeasers may learn a lesson. Depends on how intelligent the appeasers are. If not very, they just might try even more appeasement, as in "Why wait for the handover? Let's get our forces out of Iraq RIGHT NOW." |

| #11 Things that make you go "Hummmm", from Samizdata: The explosives with copper wiring similar to that used in the 11 March attacks on Madrid appear to have been abandoned when a routine track patrol was made near Toledo. N.B. Toledo was the site of two decisive battles: the first confirmed the Moorish conquest of Spain in 712, and the second was the launchpad of the Spanish Reconquistada with the Moorish defeat there in 1212. They do like their symbolism, don't they? |

| #10 Tell me again how rewarding the jihadis would get them to stop. |

| #9 HAH! I get to claim a prediction - right here on this website. I said they would get hit again. |

| #8 You're right AHM. A group claiming to have links with al-Qaeda said today it was calling a truce in its Spanish operations to see if the new government would withdraw its troops from Iraq.... Appeasers may learn a lesson. Maybe not. |

| #7 Does anyone else get a flash from the past reading this? |

| #6 Impossible, this is obviously a lie. The Spanish government as said it would pull its troops from Iraq, therefore AQ shouldn't attack them....right? Right? |

| #5 Isn't Spain protected by the Geneva Convention at this point? |

| #4 Explosives being reported as being similar to those used in the 3-11 Madrid attacks. |

| #3 JFM, ROFL...! That is just too funny! |

| #2 Probably pro-Bush jihadists wanting Spanish troops return to Irak. |
