Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
they jsut said spain pulled out of iraq because of the bombing and giving into terroist demands


when it was more the case of their government lying to them, and 90% being against going there in first place, so being replaced with a more representative government

    Fucking lying thick simpleton cunts! :mad:

    You just have explained why the troops were pulled out so I won't go into it. I should just add that the Socialist Party had made their main manifesto point to pull all troops out of Iraq. The Socialists won, and they kept their promise.

    That's democracy in action for you. Though I wouldn't expect the Republicans and neo-cons who complained so loudly when the Socialists won and pulled out the troops to understand the meaning of the word...

    Yes they were moved out within 2 months of the Socialists winning office.

    The reasons the spineless, pathetic, lying, ultra-right wing government of J. M. 'Poodle' Aznar lost the election were supporting the war in Iraq when 91% of the Spanish were against, and especially lying to the country in the aftermath of the Madrid bombings and pretending it was ETA that did it in order not to damage their election chances.

    So the Socialists won, and the democratic will of the people (bombings or not bombings) prevailed for once.

    No, but you will find them referring to the people who have kidnapped and beheaded civillians as "militants". Surely the most understated description ever. And a total disgrace.

    Talking of piss poor use of the english language...

    Why is it that people insist on using 110% when they want to emphasise a point? In this instance it isn't possible to be more than 100% correct, or inother words completely correct.

    Sportmen use it all the time too when they are talking about being 110% committed, or giving 110% effort. I mean really, are they taking the piss or what? How can you be more committed, or give more effort, than you are actually capable of?

    Sorry for the rant but this really pisses me off...

    Did you know that Fawlty Towers was actually shown in Spain many years ago?

    Though to avoid offending the good people of Barcelona, Manuel's nationality was changed to Italian. :D

    The Spanish simply gave into terrorism. I understand the population didn't agree with the war but pulling out troops at the moment they did was wrong. It has also given the wrong message to terrorism. Like the hostages that are been taken away now. The terrorists think that if Spain will give in to terrorists, the rest of the world will do also. They obviously couldn't bomb the countries as that would be to difficult and which requires time and effect. Kidnapping hostages and posting them on tv and the internet is easy but extremely effective! The terrorists know this this is why they do it. But so far so good in away. As government have not vowed down to terrorists like Spain did.

    no they pulled out troops because the party that won power promised they would if elected

    all governments by policy usually do not negotiate with terrorists

    We need a community that stands up to them, not give into them. Roll on next elections in Spain. The popular party will win a landslide next time!

    Gah.

    I love this: the Americans (who have a long history of funding terrorists, sorry, "Irish American social clubs", my mistake) attack the Spanish for "giving into terrorists".

    Luke, which country does the Basque region belong to?

    Fuck off!

    Get it in your head: the plans had been to get the troops out well before the attacks. The Socialists won, and they kept their promise.

    We have 4 decades experience of dealing with terrorism in Spain, and we're not a nation that bows to terrorism, let alone being "cowards". Be careful what you fucking say, especially since in this instance you don't have a fucking clue.

    LOL. Dream on mate. The neo-con Republican Spanish poodles are, like the Tories, destined to spend a veeeeeery long time in opposition.
