The left will now tell us that this tragedy would never have happened if Spain hadnt been an eager part of this illicit war in Iraq. Just watch the spin on this!!! Its all Bush's fault.

[The Great RJ]

I bet France is next on the al-Qaida hit list. The US and Brits have made it harder for these bastards to operate in their countries.

[KellyAdmirer]

Kerry needs to get Matlock or Andy Taylor on the case, these pesky criminals, they need a real stern lecture.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Didn't the French say last week that they were warned of an attack on French subway/railway systems?

Since this terrorist attack happened in Spain, I would imagine the French paid the ransom.

And once again, the silence of the muslim world is deafening.

[WV Mountain Mama]

That can't be, John Kerry said that terrorism is exaggerated and not a threat. They could not carry out an attack anywhere, cause they are not a threat. I believed him cause he was in Viet Nam and knows better than everyone else cause he is a war hero from Viet Nam......gag, barf, cough...

Thankfully George knows what's up and ain't afraid to say it. How do you say let's roll in Spanish?

[Truthsayer20]

Let's review at the body count of the major Islamic attacks from the last three years:
- ~3000 Americans and mostly other Westerners on 9/11/2001 in New York
- ~200 Australians and mostly other Westerners on 10/12/2002 in Bali
- ~200 Spaniards today
- Several hundred in Israel in multiple attacks

The West has overwhelming military superiority of over the Islamists. It is time we use it accordingly. The first target should be Saudia Arabia.

Javier Solana!! Where are you?

I suspected them because of the date, the 11th.

Does anyone know if there is one, what is the significance of the number 11 to Al Qaida?

[HitmanLV]

AQ works in waves - be vigilant, people!

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Who's next????

[Dr Snide]

I think its time for the Dr Snide approach to fighting terrorist. Next time you pull this crap, one nuke is going to Medina, do it again it time to nuke Mecca. We have more nukes than they do holy sites.

The primary job of the President is to ensure the safety of the USA. If Al-Qaeda is in fact responsible for this act, it demonstrates the success of the President in protecting our citizens.

As Al-qaeda reaches out to attack other countries, then perhaps those countries will begin to see through "9-11" eyes.

Spain though has been in full support of us and this attack serves only to reinvigorate that support.

[Poohbah]

It's obvious that nobody at al-Qaeda has read Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

[Truth666]

the spanish government will claim that this claim is a lie. It has to be the ETA - and I have no doubts, the spanish government

they know who it was

[montag813]

AL QUEDA DID IT....PRESIDENT KERRY TO SUE IN FEDERAL COURT...SERVING ZAWAHIRI WITH A SUMMONS...SEEKING PROCESS SERVERS WHO SPEAK ARABAIC...developing
