Dean: Bush responsible for deaths in Spain

[Champ]

March 17 - Former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean said Tuesday that President Bush's decision to send troops to Iraq appears to have contributed to the bombing deaths of 201 in Spain.

European intelligence agencies are trying to identify a purported al-Qaida operative who claimed in a videotape that the group carried out the bombings to punish Spain for backing of the U.S.-led war in Iraq. The tape was discovered in a trash bin near Madrid's largest mosque on Saturday after a telephone tip to a Madrid TV station.

Dean referred to the videotape when asked whether he was linking U.S. troops in Iraq to the deaths in Spain.

"That was what they said in the tape," Dean said. "They made that connection, I'm simply repeating it."

Dean's comment came as he was defending former rival John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, from a Bush campaign ad accusing Kerry of turning his back on U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq.

4. The Bombing In Spain PROVES AWOL & Aznar's War on Terror Is

a failure.

I'm glad the spanish people have spoken. Hopefully, they'll be better protected than they were under Aznar.

AWOL has totally fucked up the U.S. and is working hard to fuck up the world. He's done nothing but stir up a hornets nest with his childish cowboy style war games.

President Clinton was smart enough to have a "war on terror" without adverstising it to THE WHOLE GODDAMNED WORLD!!
