#3 It won't help you, Spain, in the soon-to-come final reckoning with your Islamic masters, but don't let that stop you. Keep your head firmly buried in the sand.

I understand it hurts less when you don't see it coming.

#4 Presumably, the new leaders of Al-Andalus believe that "respect for Afghanistan’s sovereignty" would have implied leaving the Taliban in charge.

Time to amend Dr Johnson's epithegm: " 'Respect for sovereignty' -- another refuge of a scoundrel."

#6 Is this 'cuz the Pope just said the international community should help out in Iraq? Zapatero's anti-Catholic perversion playing out again?

#7 Gosh, if Monezuma only knew all he really had to do was steal a keg of gun powder and set if off next to Cortez's camp.

#12 Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Of course if the American people in their wisdom elect Kerry in November we'll be leaving in January.

#14 Michael pretty good and funny and seriously it might have worked. When confronted with a determined defense the Spanish, in N. America at least, changed directions, got lost and wondered to the nearest local shore line, usually taking about 3 years.

How insensitive. Can't we all just get along? Those Spanish must believe that terror is just a damn plain nuisance. Call a meeting. Let's get to the bottom of this thing.

#24 I guess I'll have to look up all those guys who said the Spanish were pulling out of Iraq so they could better maintain manpower levels in Afghanistan. Just to see what they think, or pretend to think, about it.

#25 Funny, as an avid shortwave listener since 1976, I recently sent a letter to Radio Exterior de Espana. The reply I received was unbelievable, nothing but cries of how poor the external radio services of Spain were and how they could barely afford to respond to listeners. It wasn't _that_ long ago that REE would reply with exotic cloth pennants of their station, colorful stickers, brochures and even record albums.

Rueben-esque Francais? Radio France International doesn't even respond anymore and keeps your dollar that you sent to help defray postage. But sometimes you are lucky and they respond with a form letter to advise that they no longer respond! roflmao

All this crap from 'old europe' about being anti-bush is just a smoke-screen to try and hide that they are freaking broke and could hardly help if they wanted. They can only help when they get some bribes to help defray their broke, jealous asses.

At least our real brothers, the UK and Australia, do all they can within their means. But hey, what can you say. Ephraim and Manasseh are brothers, when we fight amongst ourselves, we fight good. When we ally against our common enemies, step back bizznitch.

Poland? Damnit, we gonna adopt you guys yet!

#28 We have a word in Redneckian that best describes the Spanish gov't, "broke dick".

#29 Of course they pulled out! They don't want Kerry to think them coerced & bribed.
