ETA wants new Spanish PM talks
2004-03-21
THE militant Basque separatist group ETA today proposed talks with the incoming Socialist government, but a party spokesperson quickly rejected the call, saying it was "a communique by a terrorist group".
"We only kowtow to terrorists who have turbans!"
"We don’t give any kind of value" to ETA statements, the Socialist spokesperson said on condition of anonymity. ETA praised Prime Minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero’s plan to withdraw Spanish peacekeeping troops from Iraq as a "brave and valiant gesture", and said his government should also have a drastic change in policy on the issue of Basque autonomy, according to an ETA statement published in the San Sebastian-based newspaper Gara, which the group customarily chooses to air its views.
No sign of Al Qaeda - ETA synergy there. Of course not.
"Brave and valiant gestures are needed for Euskal Herria", or Basque country, it said. "It’s possible to achieve peace by reason and good sense." Otherwise, ETA intended to "keep fighting", the group warned.
With help from your masters, the Islamofascists, of course.

#3  There was news on Rantburg in January that the Socialists were already meeting with ETA. They will have to wait some time before they can announce publicly whatever accommodation they made before the election.

#2  Unfortunately for ETA, the Socialists will want to show that the problem was not cojones but Americans, so they will come down on them like a ton of bricks. Better for ETA to make it appear that Islamofascists are intervening on their behalf by an old fashioned ETA bombing followed by an Islamofascist extravaganza that mentions the similarity of the plight of the Basque to that of the Iraqis and Paleostonians. Let Zappy then show proper dhimmitude. But he cannot have two masters.
