A want to propose a DU salute.....
to new Spanish Premier Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero for having the courage to stand up to Bushco and deciding to pull his troops out of Iraq. Recognizing the danger and chaos that it has brought to Iraq and ultimately his country in the recent train bombings in Madrid. The right wingers are already slamming Spain and the Spaniards.


VIVA ZAPATERO! VIVA ESPANA!

1. wishes were fishes
I just wish Kerry had the same courage. CNN said today that Kerry's numbers are going down in large part because he is sounding so hawkish on the war.

Honduran Troops to Quit Iraq as Soon as Possible

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (Reuters) - Honduras will withdraw its 370 troops from Iraq (news - web sites) "in the shortest possible time," President Ricardo Maduro said on Monday.

"I have told the coalition countries that the troops are going to return from Iraq," Maduro said in a speech on national television and radio.

"I have ordered... the carrying out of the decision taken in the shortest possible time and under safe conditions for our troops."

I fear the Bush Crime Family and friends is going to try to do something devious to undermind him and Spain. Or worse! I hope nothing happens to him.
