This is the second time Spain stabbed us in the back (the first being when they appeased Al Queda and pulled out of Iraq). Screw em.

[in hoc signo vinces]

No surprise.

[boomop1]

What is a Spain?

[sgtbono2002]

Its no surprise to find that the yellowbellies are back stabbers. The two things always go together.

[DoughtyOne]

Perhaps we should start arming the Muslem populas in Spain and see how Spain likes us medling in their back yard. Spain is where Javiar Saldona came from.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

They sure are a spain in the ass.

[wildcatf4f3]

I cannot print what I think

[GSlob]

Well, if they go through with substituting the technology in question, then they'd be squarely complying with their obligations. In such a case, "stabbing in the back" would not be appropriate terminology.

Why do all these EU countries even make weapons? They sell most of them to countries that hate them. It's funny too that they are always to afraid to use the weapons they make. I guess they just want to be sure they die by their own weapons.

[gogogodzilla]

The next news article about this should read, "US intercepts Spanish weapons bound for Venezuela (submits bill to Spain)".

Any thought on the likelihood of this actually happening, though?

[RushLake]

These must be surplus firearms that their military no longer needs since al-Quaeda de-nutted them. Hey Spain, bend over and take it like a man. Hopefully, Harry Belafonte will probably use one to shoot himself in the other foot.

[hershey]

We can only hope Chavez blows up something Spain cares about. This is appalling, short-sighted and stupid.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Spain is a anti-american socialist craphole. Their military equipment would be target practice if real hosilities broke out with old communist Hugo. Thanks spain you POS. The US doesnt forget who screws us over.

[melt]

I'm not sure who's more French these days--- Spain or France?

[Right Wing Assault]

Does Spain have planes? Mainly on the plains?

We should start sending bomb making supplies to the Basque separatists.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Not sure what aircraft Stain wants to sell Chavez, but if they do not have American components, not sure what value they have.

[YOUGOTIT]

And why would a Communist government not sell to another Communist government. SPAIN will soon be back under the control of a left wing dictator if they are not already.

[Americanexpat]

I don't care what Spain sells them, we are not at war with Venezuela and Chavez is a punk and a coward.

[doc30]

It's just the socialist, anti-American government of Spain supporting the socialist, anti-American and soon to be Stalinist government of Venezuela.

[Spirited]

We're likely to send Spain a few gadzillion dollars since they aren't worth that much anymore. Bush and State like to support the New World Order.

[Nachoman]

What's so bad about this deal? I'd rather see Chavez with Spanish military equipment instead of US. Maybe Guatemala will sell Chavez some tanks.
