OT: Global Terrorism

Hi Marilyn,

Thankee ma'am. The point I made about no gummit being responsible for

terrorist acts .. I was reading into what was inevitable and it became

reality. The leading pro-American Popular party was defeated last night

by the Socialist party in Spain because folks blamed the Populars for

the events 3 days prior to the elections. As for strategy .. we can see

that al-Qaeda had their thinking caps on in that regard.

 

The way to secure one's safety is to bow to the whims of terrorists. In

this case, it means pulling Spanish troops out of the Mid East and not

supporting America. Trading autonomy for safety. Simple as that.

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch

Thanks for bringing this up Butch.

 

You know, how many times have we heard there was no connection between Al Qaeda

and Iraq? (I guess people forget about Bin Laden's 1998 fatwa):

Now we have Al Qaeda claiming it attacked Spain for it's involvement in Iraq....

seems like a pretty good case for the linkage, eh?

 

And the result for the Spanish is to appease and hide their heads in the sand.

Very sad. You know, appeasement did not work with Hitler when the world looked

the other way when he invaded Poland. But the Poles remember that lesson:

 

Poland, with 2400 troops in Iraq, is in overall command of the European

stabilization contingent in Iraq.

Jerzy M. Nowak, Poland’s ambassador to NATO, said today that Poland is willing

to stay in command of a stabilization force in central-south Iraq if Spain,

which had been due to take charge of the division on July 1, withdraws its

troops, the Reuters news agency reported.

Nowak told Reuters that Poland, which took command of the 24-nation division

last September, would be prepared to stay until the end of this year but would

need NATO support to do so. “If it is necessary, we will continue leading the

multinational division,†Nowak said. “We are prepared for that even if Spain

is not able to fulfill its promise.â€
