If Spain gives in to more terrorist demands.

More?
I wasn't aware that any terrorists (other than ETA) had made any demands

of
Spain.


I thought Ossama Al Quedia just bombed the Spainish railway system.


You are probably correct.

However, you insinuated that Al Qaeda had made demands!!!

Osama b'in Laden has made it clear that he wants a Global war berween
Moslems and Christians. He believes that Moslems would win this war.
Therefore, he would not want any Western country to pull out of action in
the Middle East.


I also heard that since the elections they have ordered all terrorist
to stop
because the Spainards plan to cut and run from Iraq.


You are incorrect.




And they renig on the
deal to finish the job in Iraq, then all good American should boycott
all Spanish products.

Good idea. I'm sure that all Spaniards will recognise the strength of
American gratitude for the 217 lives that they lost in support of your
country.

First off they were fighting for all free countrys that value freedom
and hate dictaters with a history of torturing citizens.


No.

They were fighting because their Prime Minister was blackmailed by Bush.



If Spain decides to pull out before the job is complete then the
Spainards will be dis-honoring the one that gave all to the liberation
of th Iraqi people.

The Spainards are acting like John Kerry acted during the Vietnam
war. These actions will hurt the men and women in harms way. Lets give
all the troops all the support they need to finish the job correctly.
Let's not give in because some dirty rats attack citizens on the way
to work again.


BTW, Capt. American, I'd like to ask you a question. When Colin Powell
showed a satellite photograph of two trucks, did you see two trucks,

... or
did you see WMD?


I saw the mobile chemical labs.


I saw two trucks.

We now know that they were *NOT* connected with WMD. They were supplied by
the British. They were used to inflate baloons that were used for artillery
practice.



Donal did you here that the UN asked for proof that Saddam dis-armed?


So what?

At the end of the gulf war Saddam agreed to dis-arm and provide the
world with proof he did dis-arm. Instead of providing that proof he
played games and flipped the world the bird.


Nevertheless, he *did* disarm. Furthermore, at the time of the invasion,
most of the world believed that he did *not* pose any threat to our
security. That's why you couldn't get a second UN resolution.


Nope, don't agree with that bit. The Russians and the French were
collecting massive payoffs from the UN oil for food program out of Iraq
along with selling Iraq a lot of banned items. They didn't want the
gravy train to stop.

Other stuff was secondary. A lot of us were quite happy to see Hussein
get it in the neck, few or none have deserved it more. It's the
aftermath I'm concerned with, waiting for the USA to leave before
there's a stable and reasonably democratic regime to take over. I think
the USA will pull out too soon and Iraq will enter a massive civil war
that'll leave everyone deep in the crap. Alternatively the temptation
to run the place as a US company fiefdom will grow and there'll be a
continuous uprising. Tricky balancing act and I really don't think the
USA is going to get it right. That country would probably be better off
either split or as a federation of powerful states with a relatively
powerless central govt.

My 2c and since it's AUD worth less (or worthless). I'm outa this one,
too. Got a lot of project budgets to do ATM.......
