"Prime Minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero tonight rejected US Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry’s call for him to reconsider plans to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq."
"Zapatero, the Socialist who won Sunday’s general election, noted that he had campaigned on a pledge to withdraw those 1,300 troops unless the United Nations takes charge in Iraq, and did not devise the plan simply because of last week’s terrorist bombings in Madrid."
http://www.breakingnews.ie/2004/03/18/story138844.htmlI would like to reiterate a common thread on
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com"There is a crucial difference between Spain and the United States. The Spanish had an anti-war candidate running for office. We do not have that here. Both Bush and Kerry are pro-war. Americans do not have a vote for peace, which means that for all intents and purposes we do not have a vote. We live in a dictatorship that masks behind elections, yet still drives us on to endless wars for oil, built on lies and deceptions."
