#1 Looks like France is teaching the Spaniards how to surrender. Don't bother, Chirac, they already know how.

Guess we can tell whose side Zapatero wants to be on.

#2 Ewwwww. Could the Spanish possibly be more craven?
And Zappo is so clearly evil, that I truly wonder if he didn't work with the bombers to get himself elected (tin foil sombrero not required).

#3 Technically, strictly on protocol grounds, a French President outranks a US Cabinet Officer. He goes in first. Deal with it.

That said - screw them jerks, Colin. Threaten to invade or somethin', see how white they turn...

#4 Sounds to me like the guy is a real unprofessional yahoo. Pride cometh before a fall, as they say.

I doubt Zappy cares that he's going to lose the base at Rota. He's all about bluster and being Mr. Big Man.

I think Bush is handling this well. Making the appropriate gestures and allowing the world to see that Zappy is just a small man trying to look big.

#5 A tin-foil sombrero? Jen, that's a wonderful image! Mountain Dew Alert!
