#1 Somebody help me out here. Is this or is this not roughly the diplomatic equivalent of landing an invasion force at Vigo, moving them on to Madrid by way of Barcelona & Seville, then having them erect a massive statue of Bush baring his ass & flipping the bird in the general direction of the Congreso de los Diputados?

#3 No it's a personal message to the people of Spain. Their current government would have spun it a support for the socialist government. There is no such support by our government who considers, and rightfully so, Zapatero a back stabbing 3^rd rate light weight and the government weak appeasers.
