#1 Spainâs new prime minister told President Bush last month that the U.S. war on terrorism "isnât hitting the mark," according to an interview published Friday.

Heh, pulling your country's troops out right after a terrorist attack isn't a high water mark to be proud of, that's for sure. But it's all well and good; we know who we can count on, and Spain's Socialists don't make the grade.

#2 Bush isn't hitting the mark, but the ci-Qada sure hit the mark at the train station in Madrid.

#3 I guess Zapatero must mean his own 'G' spot, whatever that is :oD

Looks to me like jahadis are dying faster than Kerry can spin a poorly timed remark.

#4 Bono met with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld earlier this month. Trying to patch up the foreign policy disagreement, Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos met Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday. Zapatero stressed the pullout did not indicate Spain was withdrawing from its international commitments, nor was it wavering about confronting terrorism.

They are maintaining a policy of stealth commitment. shhhh... Don't let Usama know. I recommend that we turn Rota into stealth Naval Base faster than you can say Roosevelt Roads.

#6 Zapetero must be reading the Spanish version of "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Spain isn't withdrawing from its international commitments, just its commitments to America. I wonder if he was on the UNSCAM Oil for Influence list.
