#2 Perhaps it should be noted that many here will be in the same boat as approximately half of the Spaniards, after November, wishing we had a real President. On that note, I empathize with those in Spain who grind their teeth every time Zappy takes a four-point stance.

#3 Bush should have punched him.

#4 Punching comes after reelection.

#5 Mr. Bean II speaks again. What a worm.

#6 Even the Malaise/Mayonaise king Jimmuh Carte can get elected once. It will be interesting to see whether Zippy gets an encore. We got repeatedly whacked by AQ while Clinton was in charge and reelected him and then nearly elected Gore to continue the flush down the jonny.
Sure, I voted for HW Bush and then Dole, but the not my fault argument has always seemed hollow to me. Some of my UAW workers vote against every contract that is proposed by management so that they can claim that they have no responsibility for anything bad that results. Many would say that "UAW Worker" and "lacking of repsonsibility" is redundant but I don't think I reached that stage of disgust yet.

#9 "The Spanish government does not foresee any participation in the process under way in Iraq, and in no circumstances any participation on Iraqi territory."

Without any onvolvement, Spain then no longer has anything to say on the subject. Zappy would do well to keep this in mind.

#10 
Zapatero ruled out Monday playing any role in Iraq
GOOD! We'd constantly have to be worried about being stabbed in the back anyway.

Stay home and play with yourself, Zappy. The jihadis will let you know when they want something else from you.

#11 I say Spain needs a parade. A grand parade with French marching bands leading the way and large floating cartoon animals following.

#12 I guess that the Plus Ultra brigade is now the Non Plus Ultra brigade. It's a pity to be reminded how far Spain has fallen. Europe, in general, with the exception of the UK is becoming irrelevant. France and Germany can't project any significant amount of military power. Most european economies are sinking in the La Brea Tarpits of socialist demographics. I can see why their birthrates are well below replacement. There's no hope in the future for the people of these countries and no meaning to the present. It's good to be an American.

#13 "The Spanish government does not foresee any participation in the process under way in Iraq, and in no circumstances any participation on Iraqi territory..."

Status quo. Code language: WE WON'T DO ANYTHING. No big surprise though--that is what the electorate in Spain wants for Iraq-exactly nothing.

#15 Start loading up the int'l community in Afghanistan, we know there's 1300 soldiers sitting at home doing nothing.

#16 It's really going to hurt if Skeery is elected -- all of these comments will need to made into a mirror.

#17 Herman Kahn popularized the phrase "thinking about the unthinkable" back in the 60's to describe thermonuclear war. It is equally applicable to a Kerry presidency. The thought of another freak show like we had during the Clinton years is unthinkable. Kerry is like Clinton, just not as smart, not as likable, and not as resolute. The impact on our armed forces would be even worse than Jimmy Carter (and that was disastrous). They say that nations get the politicians they deserve. I can't believe that we've become so pathetic as to deserve Kerry and friends.
