So the Spaniards voted for the socialist party. How exactly does that translate into a victory for terrorists? Zapatero has said that the struggle against terrorism would remain a top priority for Spain.
Only a couple of days before the attack the popular party (or however you say that in Spanish) was expected to be comfortably returned to power, but after the attack, the voters seemed to be saying that they felt the Popular Party's support for the US WAT had made them a target, and they chose the party which vocally opposed the US WAT.
While it would have been more accurate for John to say it was a loss to the American anti-terrorist efforts than a win to Al-Queda, one really means the other in the long run.
The sad part is that it is just one more of many things that have diminished "The War Against Terror".
Cheers Russell C.
