Incredible, Al Qaeda attacks Spain just three days before the election, and suddenly the voters plump for the opposition....
I wouldn't place all the blame (for the election results) on the terrorists - or is my recollection that there was little popular support for the Spanish government's backing of the Iraq fiasco incorrect?
A very sad day in the War on Terror.
Expect more sad days to follow. Instead of building a strong coalition to fight terrorism on all fronts we squandered the good will of the world to concentrate our power on deposing one washed up, nearly powerless dictator. Instead of spending our dollars on a world wide network to fight terrorism and on preventative measures we've spent $160 B on nation building. Instead of low profile actions that strike at the heart of terrorism, we've provided Al Qaeda and other groups a spectacular recruiting tool.
In other news, Iran has kicked IAEA inspectors out of the country... so
far, they claim that it is just temporary. I recently posted a timeline of Iran's deceiving of inspectors in the "New Pentagon Papers" thread... it really makes you wonder what else they could be hiding.
What's interesting, John, is how effective the inspections in Iran have been. There was stuff to find and they found it. Just like Iraq - there was stuff to find and... oh wait... the inspectors didn't find anything and amazingly enough it turned out that it was because there wasn't anything to find. Hmmmmm.
