Their departure will be largely symbolic. As was their presence.

I think it bodes ill for Spain and the rest of Europe, rather than us.

You're right.
We can't have it both ways -- if their departure is going to be symbolic, then so was their presence. How can we possibly criticize Spain for "capitulating" to terrorists when their involvement in Iraq was merely symbolic? I think it was perfectly reasonable for Spaniards to decide that 200 civilian casualties (or even 2) was too steep a price to pay for a symbolic military presence in Iraq.
