Thanks for the details! I was sure I hadn't hallucinated the whole thing.
Now that I recall it, yes, it was orginally unclear what country they were being sent to - and then Yemen piped up. We backed off on it and basically told the Spaniards to let them go.
I do wonder where the missiles are now, but I can't believe we just let them float away like that. Hopefully, somebody somewhere in our government has an eye on them. (Well, somebody outside of the CIA and State Dept., I hope!)

Educated guess: Since the liberal media only reports anti-Bush news, we would have heard if the following assumption was NOT the case.
The Yemeni economy got an unexpected "Gift" of cement. And some Yemeni men were gainfully employed in the scrap metal processing business.
