Listening to Rush...he has a very good insight on what to expect in the coming weeks from the lame stream media and the DNC!.....this is all going to be Bush's fault.

The President called the Spanish King and Prime Minister privately. Secretary Powell made a low-key offer to help in any way possible. It is the correct attitude. Respectful and determined at one and the same time.

But I do not doubt that data is surging through classified channels, samples are being analyzed and any necessary equipment is being transferred wherever it is needed.

Spain has been a valiant ally. My condolences. Madrid is not only one of the greatest cities I have ever visited, the people are, hands down, the nicest I have ever met.

The Spanish people shed their blood in Iraq to stand with us against islamofascist terrorism. Here's the address of their embassy:
    Embassy of Spain
    2375 Pennsylvania Av. NW
    20037 Washington D.C.

I just watched this (via WH website)

You can hear in Pres. Bush's voice that he's PO'ed.

Spain has been a good friend and had our backs diplomatically when we went into Iraq. We would do well to consider this as an attack on our own soil.
