The odds of a major attack in the USA just went up 1,000%. The lesson the terrorists will take from Madrid is that they can cause jihad appeasers to win elections with a few bombs. I don't think that Americans will react like the Spanish, we may go the other way, but the muslims are going to pull out all the stops now to help Kerry win the election.

EXACTLY! Expect it to occur a week or two prior to November's election. Expect the Dumbocrats to blame it all on Bush because 1)they really haven't a clue about terrorism and they actually believe that Bush is more evil than Osama and 2)they have no problem stepping on a pile of bloody body parts just to get their man in office.

Yes, this election in Spain is a great victory for Al Qaeda which will inspire them to produce a great slaughter of Americans in October. I certainly hope I'm wrong.

Unfortunately, you're right. They have every incentive to escalate.
