Spain completes its Military pull out.
 

Who thinks that's WEAK? Or are they showing they have balls standing up to the US?

It would have showed they had balls if they had never went in in the first place.

Its not weak.. the first government had certain opinions... this new one has different ones... Most countries do not actually have a military presence in Iraq...

They are weak and they are scared

1 terorr attack and they run with their tail between their legs

Sure looks that way.

the goverment changed because of 1 terorr attack

that's the weakest thing ever

the opposition was against the iraq war from day one... and after they won the election they made what they promised from DAY ONE...

the took their troops back home where they belong to...

There's a huuuuuuge difference between being weak and doing what the people of your country wants you to do.
This is called democracy, just in case you don't know.

the oppostion won because "osama's organization" wanted them to win

the terorr attack is the reason for the goverment change
the oppostion had a really small % before the attack

the ppl of spain got scared and changd the goverment
that's all

man theres no need to be in iraq... the oil is on the ships already...

so get out of iraq as fast as you can.. thats clever not weak...

the us just cant leave because they started it.. lots of soldiers will come back in nice graves with american flags...
thats better?

So this is how you understood it?
First of all, people didn't get scared for a terrorist attack. It's sad but Spaniards are used to terrorist attacks, already, they always terrorist organizations.

The government changed for many reasons.
One of them wasn't the attack itself but the fact that the previous government tried to hide from the beginning that it was an islamic attack and not ETA.

There're many more reasons for this change. If you've been following Spanish internal affairs lately you surely know them.

thats democraty.. los espanoles son smartos :)
they're clever not weak...

no need to stay in iraq

the oil is on the ships already... driving home to bush's country...

lots of american soldiers will be on the ship too.. but in nice graves with american flags on them.. thats better?

relax mate.. he's one of the guys who's reading bush's patriot news only:glugglug

yeah...the fact that they hide the fact that it wasn't the ETA had an effect

but if there wasn't an attack , then the goverment would have stayed the same...you must agree on it

the fact is that the Islamic terorrists got what they wanted.

So long pussies

You know? I'm not even that sure it wouldn't have changed.
Zapatero did a smart move telling in advance that he wouldn't have made any deal with smaller parties to have the majority so many people voted him because they didn't want Aznar to be in the power anymore.

There have been serious problems lately, included the terrorist attack, of course, that made in a short time people change their mind.

The only think I can tell you is that, whether you're in favor or not of pulling out the troops, the fact that the government actually makes what people who voted him asked to do is a great thing.

Not good timing, but one of the reasons the govt was elected was in order to pull out the soldiers from Iraq. USA is "trapped" there, I don't see them going anywhere for the next 2-3 years. Time will tell. Expect more soldiers to go there.
