That's great.

Maybe if they kill a few hundred in some of the other coalition members, they'll pull out too.


Headline should be:

Terrorism wins. Spain surrenders.

/sad

Let's read between the lines...

Spain is the raped woman that thinks it's her fault.

1300 troops? Oh lordy!! The sky is fallin'! The sky is fallin'!

Actually, it'll ultimately be Spain's loss. They don't have much money and I'm sure the extra income streams from the US that was promised to them for sticking their neck out will dry up relatively quickly. They could transfer the 1300 to Haiti...maybe offset our costs there...

Do you think Al-Quaida next target will be a certain country acroos the ocean from Spain that is having their elections in Novemeber, whose public could easily be swayed to give up and vote for a guy that beleives we should cut intelligence money? :bang:

I thought about that, but I'm going to be Capt. Obvious for a moment and say that Americans react much differently to such things compared to Europeans. It would boost Bush big time. The "don't get off the horse mid-stream" mentality would kick in. Not to mention that the "an eye for an eye" mentality would kick in almost immediately.

I think it's pretty interesting that the Con Clan is using this tragedy as a "See I Told You" excuse to step farther into the military-fascist state they fetishize.

I do hope the American public follows suit, though.

Someone who fails at their job should lose their job. Nothing personal. Just business! :chair:

Yeah, now they can go back to a massive deficit and double digit unemployment that Aznar eliminated.

Just like we have here with Bush?

You left out the "double digit" part. While it may be common in contemporary journalism, I'd like to think your integrity is above that.

That was kind of weak. Friends with Jason Blair Schad?

You mean, the massive deficit that Slick Willy eliminated?

And, really, when's the last time this country as a whole experience double-digit inflation? The Great Depression?

You fellas are too Fing much! :roflol:

[sorry! i'm just on a roll, here. upon rereading this, i noticed you meant Spain. sorry, Kev!]

So, how does it follow that they will go back into a fiscal deficit based on the ideology of one guy?

Besides the voodoo economics of the Shurb family, I mean?

Aren't you a professor of some kind? ...and you believe that Bill Clinton eliminated much of the deficit all by himself...not with the Republican-held Congress? God save the kids.

Is that the same Republican Congress who he fought over the deficit? And the same that Willy shut down because they still wanted to keep taxing and spending?

God, I love being right.

PIVOT POINTS: THE CLINTON YEARS






The day the red ink started to vanish













By Francine Kiefer (kieferf@csps.com)

Bill Clinton was sitting in a rocking chair on the White House Truman balcony, looking out at the Washington Monument and having coffee with a man he believed could make or break his presidency.


It was Aug. 6, 1993. Impeachment, Kosovo, the surplus, welfare reform - all were still in the future. Mr. Clinton's controversial plan to cut the deficit was the issue of the day.
