<< Spain pm to withdraw [Troops FRom] Iraq >>

Once a FASCISocialialisT state -- always a FASCISocialialisT state.

First a Hitler lickspittle state and now a squalidly socialistic EUROpeon Neo-Soviet servant satellite state.

As Al-qaeda Goreleone once barfed it, "leopards do not change their stripes."

Al-qaeda 199 - Spain Zip!

The problem in Spain is that (since the Socialists got 42% to the current ruling party's 38%) a swing of a mere 2-3% could have made it go either way. The Socialists did NOT get a majority in Parliament, either, and it is not like a one-on-one match.

I believe that a serious error was made by the Spanish government in immediately blaming the Basque separatists group WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE, instead of blaming the true perpetrators, the al-Qaeda terrorists. I assume they did this for tactical reasons. Therefore, they did not rally the nation against Islamic terrorism, and I don't see the election (narrowly won by the Socialists 164 seats to 148 seats + other parties, out of 450) as a referendum on the terrorism issue which it could have been.
