Spain Regrets Supporting Iraqi Campaign

[dArKeR]

The Spanish Government has admitted for the first time that "it might have made a mistake when decided to support the Iraqi campaign," governmental press secretary Eduardo Zaplana says. 


The Europa press agency reported on Saturday that the statement was made because the opposition insisted that documents of the Spanish National Intelligence Center must be declassified.

1. hmmm our "broad-based" coalition looks to be losing

one of its key-note supporters. What a shock. drip...drip....drip...

[muriel_volestrangler]

5. I'm sure Palau and the Solomon Islands will stay

and after all, you can't get broader than the Pacific Ocean.

Oh, wait a minute, the White House lied about that too:

"Palau, the Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands and Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean are among nearly 50 nations listed in a coalition that the Bush administration says represents 1.23 billion people.

Solomon Islands denies that it backs the coalition, although the White House website's list of coalition members still features the South Pacific country's name."

13. Didn't we have Pango Pango aboard also?

I know we had a bunch of "willing" countries of great importance.

[0007]

23. The Fiji Islands was one! Samoa also, LOL!!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

17. And if Labour wins in Australia, then Bushco is....

SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gee Bush, I thought you said that our coalition was strong.

Drip, Drip....indeed.

:eyes:

2. Too freepin' little... Way Too Freepin' Late, Spain!

Wonder what's in those docs!

[Zomby Woof]

9. nearly 90% of Spain opposed the war!

It was Aznar and his Francoist cronies that led the nation to get involved. PLEASE do not hold the good people of Spain accountable.

[K8-EEE]

22. Did You See The Protests In Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Bilbao?

They were HUGE. They are still protesting!

ALL OF SPAIN HATED THIS WAR FROM THE BEGINNING. MORE than 90%. They were dragged into it because Aznar wanted to share the spoils....now after selling out their country the dogs are trying to save their own skin politically...

The Spaniards said no, no y NO a esta guerra!

[Kellanved]

25. Don't forget the European angle

More than anything else this is a sorrowful return to the "core" European Union - I guess Aznar suddenly remembered who is paying for the Spanish economy.

[David__77]

3. "Popular Party" trying to save its skin.

The Spanish Socialist Workers Party will win the upcoming elections most likely, sweeping these neo-Francoists from power, thankfully. They are trying damage control to avoid this fate.

6. Zapatero is Da Man!

[Just Me]

4. Oh, those pesky members of our "coalition" should just shut up,...

Isn't that what the neocons have been fighting for,...everyone to just shut up and follow *LOL*!!! Betcha' they'll b-slap Spain with a sanction or two for opening its big pie-hole.

[beyurslf]

7. Let's hope we wake up along with those other countries by Novemeber

[SquireJons]

26. Could be that we all wake up

I've been pretty freaked out the last 3 years, wondering if our democracy and or our environment would survive the new robber barons. But in the back of my head I've kept remembering the Dreyfus Affair in France at the turn of the 20th century. What does that have to do with the neo-cons attempt at world domination you might ask? They will fail, that's what.

The conservative anti-semitics in the French government and military did everything they could to railroad an innocent man, up to and including placing the country's security at risk. But ultimately, the truth was brought out, the government fell, and the truly guilty party was forced to flee.

It takes time, but government scandals have a way of reshaping the world. It is quite possible that in the wake of shrubs mis-adventure, there will be new governments in England, Australia, and Spain, not to mention the good 'ol US of A.

8. I guess the Iraqi payoff wasn't all that great ....

[tabasco]

10. I guess we can start calling it Freedom Rice now !

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Mmmmmm paella.

[Bandit]

14. And what about all those "Freedom" speaking aliens we want to grant

amnesty to. Mexicans now speak "Freedom"

[nolabels]

18. Yea, but what is going to happen to the nieghborhood?

Are the residents that live in the latino part of Harlem going to have to move out.

Will the ban the song on Clear Channel also :crazy:

[damnraddem]

11. Drip, drip, drip.

Hear that, Dubya? Now, it's Spain. Next November, it'll be the U.S.

[Zhade]

21. Er, we better hope it's THIS November!

;)

[proud patriot]

15. Should of paid attention to the Spainish people

just as all the willing accomplice countries
should of paid attention to their people .

Ignoring the Will of the people is a bad mistake .

[JNelson6563]

16. Our list of allies grows thin....

19. Just a Government that Doesn't Listen

to the 90+% of its people where opposed it, to its figurehead monarch who broke tradition to speak out on opposing it, and for good measure to the spiritual leader of most of the country's people (da Pope) who opposed it. AZNAR needs to crawl out on his way to not running.

[K8-EEE]

20. Ole' Ole'!!

The Spanish people were NEVER down with this...BRAVO! Officials at least willing to admit it.

[yellowcanine]

24. Rats...The ship is sinking! Time to Go!

Suddenly everyone is seeing the nakedness of the emperor.
