is that not a fair statement?

I think that he refers to the fact that the socialists already before the spanish elections and before the bomb attacks, said that if they got hold of the power they would withdraw spanish military from Iraq. So the bombs didn't change anything about their politics.

Just as these bombs will not change UK policy.

All the terrorists have done is consolidated the British people with the American people even more, they are crap.

The Brits like Americans do not fold when attacked, in fact it's the Brits nature to become more determined when they are attacked, especially in a such a cowardly way.

Please stop with the 'Spain folded' crap. It's worn out and offensive.

180+ casualties, but hospitals say that they handled all of it. It seems that their emergency plans (which were practiced a lot) went well.

Again, please explain how it is offensive? The socialists' support in Spain skyrocketed after the madrid attacks, and hence they won the elections..
Is that statement incorrect? I dont quite see how its offensive??

:confused:

It's just jitters in the world market. The hurricanes, these bombs, etc. The prices will be volatile for the mean time.

WTF dude?

DaWhim = Republican?

no, idiot is a better description. wishing death on innocent people isn't a political affiliation.

I'm just wondering, because all my republican friends hates france with a passion, it's something they would say.
