#1 Spain is concerned about U.S. intentions to establish a military base in Tantan in southern Morocco

What are they going to do about it, eh? Maybe they're afraid that the US will move the base (and $$$$$$) to Morocco. Not in the interest of international harmony if the stupid Americans leave and spend their money elsewhere.

Might even give the protest mobs nobody to bitch about, which leads them to protesting their own ~~yellow~~ government instead.

#2 It seems like stupidity to move fighter aircraft to Ceuta and Melilla. They will never get off the ground, instead becoming $110 million artillery targets.

#5 They are actually referring to the Montesa and Alcantara regiments, armored units descended from old cavalry regiments,not the ''Montisa and Quatara Corps''.

#6 Well, hopefully it would be the same fun, no matter what they call them. ;-)
