Apr 3, 6:41 AM (ET) MADRID, Spain (AP) - Interior Minister Angel Acebes confirmed Saturday that the bomb found at a high-speed rail line a day earlier was made of the same type of explosives used in the Madrid terror bombings.
"The explosives are the same as those used on March 11, but at this moment the investigation is continuing ... to try to determine who is behind it," Acebes told reporters in Madrid.
Train service was restored Saturday after being interrupted a day earlier by the discovery of a 26-pound bomb hidden in a bag, the state rail company said.
Investigators have said the March 11 bombings were carried out with Spanish dynamite - Goma 2 Eco. The attack killed 191 people and injured 1,800.

That my friend is history. Good luck with the story you give your children.
They are her and lets see what you can do.
It reverts back to history. Lack of history will get you every time.
At least the kicked them back to their home and kicked their A$$.
So little history ,,, just shake your head and say "Honey can you pull up history on the computer".
Or you can just say "honey I'm ignorant"

I take it you are from Spain. For your sake, I hope you were not one of the faint hearted ones. But whether you personally voted for surrender or not, your country certainly did. Spain surrendered after a single attack.
Your country is unwilling to help the United States defeat an enemy that seeks the destruction of Western civilization, and the forced conversion of all mankind to a radical version of Islam.
WE are willing to fight that fight, with friends if we can, but alone if need be. If we win, Spain survives. If we lose, Spain will surely fall. That Spain will not help fight a common foe is a disgrace to Spain, not the United States.
Al Qaida did not think Spain had the heart to fight, and they were right.

Yeah I am from Spain, Die hard Rep American. But your issue about Spain surrendering in light of what happened 2 days before an election that was to win for us (Americans) is a weak and ignorant argument.
I hope that AQ does not influence our election and you don't end up speaking the Kerry French a couple of days before elections.
Your argument is weak and not based on anything except shop talk.

The terrorist attack flipped the election result.
You can call it anything you want if it makes you feel better, but the fact remains: Spain withdrew from the fight against terror as a direct result of a single terrorist attack. The terrorists won.
BTW: Your use of the English language is good, but not nearly as good as a native American. I seriously doubt you are a "Die hard Rep American".

Left click on my name if you want to find out a little about me.
What you won't see is that I'm part Indian, and that some of my clients are Indian tribal organizations. My Indian name is Yaschujuice (not really spellable in English). It means "Little Crow", the son of the Chief (the crow is the wisest of the birds).
I know far more about American Indians than you do about the English language.
Your rant was off the mark, and totally unrelated to the topic of this thread.
To get back to the topic of this thread: Spain withdrew from the war on terror as a result of a single terrorist attack. In other words: Spain was defeated. Spain abandoned an erstwhile friend and ally (the U.S.) in hopes of appeasing a barbarian foe.
That you cannot admit that fact does not change its accuracy.

From post 30, A good source of history is ashort book, "Moorish Spain", by Richard Fletcher ISBN 0-520-08496-9
To: EternalHope
If you are an Indian, I respect that. You are lucky the Spaniards did yot catch up with you while they were here.
As far as the rant, you need to stay out of it. There are no rants here. VOTE Republincan

I read his comments in thirty and said that I appreciated them. Then I thanked him for the suggested reading material. I have not read that reading material yet. Hope this helps.
To: DoughtyOne
Good reading. Reading is good. Sort of like reading about the Spanish Armada being defeated by the Brits when they in fact wreckek into the sea because the storms were so that they sank the armada.
Sort of like that!!
