Spainish Voters Send Message to Al Qaeda

Spanish voters sent a message when their newly elected prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said:

"the war has been a disaster, the occupation continues to be a disaster. . . . There must be consequences. There has been one already," he said, "the election result. The second will be that Spanish troops will come back."

The message is hidden between the lines of the above quote and it requires only a modicum of common sense to decode. The message is: Terrorism works!

Pansies.

UPDATE: Steve said it all with a little more detail...

UPDATE II: Still Pissed

I am still pissed over the Spanish elections. How could an entire country allow themselves to be manipulated so easily? Last week, Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar was enjoying a huge lead in the poles. Then some sick psycho maniacs killed 200 people in a terrorist attack and in the secondary explosions the Spanish people poop their pants and oust their leader in favor of a supreme pansy who vows to withdraw their troops from what they see is a failed war on terrorism. The irony is deafening.

From:

If, as evidence suggests, al Qaeda or its sympathisers were behind last week's blasts in Madrid, the election upset in Spain will be seen as the first time Islamic militants have toppled a Western government by killing civilians.

"They will be thinking they've achieved something absolutely extraordinary," said David Claridge, managing director of Janusian Security Risk Management, a London-based consultancy that analyses security risk for commercial clients.

AND. THEY. HAVE.

"I think that that will be used as a propaganda and recruitment weapon for al Qaeda," Wilkinson said. "I am quite sure that they will exploit that to the full."

Well no fricking duh!

All of this begs the question - How safe will it be in the United States in November? That all depends on how short Al Qaeda memory truly is. I’m pretty confident that a terrorist attack on US soil close to the election will only insure that the American people retain the only Presidential candidate with a real set of balls.
