#1 Dear Spain,

Fuck you.

Sincerly,
USA

P.S. Don't ask for anything from us and go fuck yourself.

Hugs.

#2 Shit happens in war. I think that if ever anything happens our three soldiers, I wouldn't want to be this so-called "Judge", Santiago Pedraz.

The CIA has many a way of ensuring smart-ass Socialistic weenies end up "mysteriously dead" by "unfortunate accidents".

#4 I told Jose to stay down here with us. Have Achmed turn up the TV over the bar and there's all the war news ya need. But he was one of the crazy ones who liked to point cameras at guys in tanks.
Achmed, let's have a double in memory of Jose. War is hell, I tell ya...

#5 

Santiago Pedraz.
Look at this Socialist Eurotrash F**K.

Link to Article in Spanish where he won't procecute Basque terrorists...

Babel fish translantes -

Judge Santiago Pedraz has confirmed his decision of not processing to the ETA prisoner Of Juana Chaos by the crimes of property to ETA and terrorist threats. Also he has reproached to the public prosecutor the one that has not credited in what their accusations are sustained. The Hearing considered yesterday that the ETA member must follow in prison in a nonbinding decision, but this same court will decide on the resource interposed by the public prosecutor.

He'd probably like the 3 Stooges on the 9th circuit who tried to thwart the recall a couple of years ago out here in CAL.

#7 I'm sure the US will be washing it's collective hair the next time a Spanish colonialist occupied enclave in North Africa is overrun. And let's not even talk about the highly sensitive subject of Andalusia, which the rightful owners had ruled for 700 years years before being stolen by religous zealots from Aragon. If it should come up, we'll be out to dinner with the cell phone off.

#8 An all-out American boycott of all things Spanish will teach the disgraceful descendants of my heritage that they (a) dishonor Spain's great heritage and history, and (b) that they are a bunch of sclerotic Socialist-loving losers that will quiver in fear when the Islamists re-build their Iberian network and hit them again!

Stupid, cowardly Spanish half-witted Leftists!

Islamism One, Liberty Zero

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're "Stuck on Stupid" For future reference, unless new management has arrived, the menu and wine list at the Palestine Hotel resturant is hopelessly boring. Avoid it if at all possible.

#16 Hey, Spain cooperates with terrorists. Blockade their ports, shoot down all air traffic, destroy their infrastructure and kick them out of NATO. Then after their country turns into another Somalia, ask them again, "What was that you wanted?"

#19 Let's don't blame all of Spain for the stupidity of a few leftist politicians. However, after saying that, I think the US should:

A) End our membership in NATO. Let it become the EUroweenie Warfighting and Dancing Group. Instead, create a better alliance with Britain, Australia, and Japan.

B) Close what few bases we still have in Spain, and pull all American troops out. We don't really need Rota Naval Base, Zaragosa or Torrejon AB.

C) Reduce our embassy staff to a Charge de Affairs and a couple of admin clerks. Print all Spanish Visa applications in Sanskrit. Recommend Portugal or Italy as an alternative vacation spot for American tourists.

D) Broadcast Voice of America to Spain in Swedish.

#24 At the same time the same Pedraz has been at the center of several controversial decisions of releasing multi-murderer (20 something) and unrepentant ETA terrorists. For instance
de Juana Chaos who was sentenced to thousands, of years in jail and who told "I take pleasure in seeing the pain in the faces of the rrelatives of the victim" who was also a proponent of alliance with the Islamists and who made a party with them after the Madrid bombings. That judge ordered his release after just 17 years due account between others, the fact of having taking universiy courses (who later were proven false); in Spain that reduces the term. Fortunately the liberation was appelaed and overuled on the basis that de Juana Chaos had continued collaborating with ETA from his cell.

But it tells you waht kind of guy is Pedraz. Unfortunately in Spain as in most of Europe a judge is a guy who has succeeded at an exam, he is not elected by the people, he is not nominated by someone elected by the people, just that an exam. And once he has got that exam there is no way for the people, directly or indirectly to fire or even displace him without his consent.

#28 "Couso's relatives, backed by organizations including Reporters Without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists, are pressing the criminal case after rejecting a Pentagon report clearing U.S. military personnel of any wrongdoing in the incident."

This is an example of something I have mentioned here before: The institutional media have long assigned quasi-governmental status to media-oriented NGOs. Media-influenced governments have begun to recognize this status, especially in Europe.
"Media oriented" NGOs are those that exist primarily to raise funds through a high-profile media presence, invariably with the connivance of the media themselves. They are, in fact, a component of the institutional media culture itself, providing ready-made authority for media culture memes and, in return, receiving billions in free fund-raising propaganda.
"Greenpeace", originally a 60s style outlaw gang, has evolved into a pillar of the media establishment and is the prototype for this category of NGO. Today, it openly presumes governmental authority and places enormous emphasis on its network of corporate sponsors, of whom there are hundreds.
Leftist Spain is even more stuck in the 70s media world than the rest of Europe, so it is no surprise that a Spanish judge would act essentially on the orders of media-based NGOs.

It's only a matter of time before he somehow becomes related to Kofi Annan or Jacques Chirac anyway. And in the meantime, so many parties to go to, thrown by the right sort of people, you do know how it is.

#35 The court may want to send investigators to the US in support of this case. They will probably be refused, but it is just possible that cowards and quislings in the State Department will let them in. If so, the first local jurisdiction that can get its hands on them should arrest them for conspiracy to kidnap American citizens and conspiracy to incite terrorism. These are crimes in many jurisdictions, and Pedraz himself is vulnerable if he comes here. If he comes to Texas, I will urge the Attorney-General to seek an arrest warrant for him charging promotion of terrorism and conspiracy to commit official oppression.
