This latest Spanish snub comes as no surprise. At last year's parade, Zapatero refused to follow the respectful example of other politicians and stand when the Marines passed in front of him.

Now Zapatero says the French troops will march in Spain's parade to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Paris — as if French troops had much of anything to do with the Allied successes of 1944.

Wow, this is rich.

Spain capitulates to terrorism, elects an socialist, disses our troops ..............and sends in the FRENCH to celebrate the liberation of Paris.

All that's missing is the German troops.

A good point.

The French of course collaborated heavily with the Germans after a few weeks of incompetent attempts at fighting them. In fact, France arguably spent more time and effort fighting the allies then the Germans.

Spain didn't formally enter the conflict, but did side with the Germans.
