How long til BushCo subverts and overthrows the Socialists in Spain?

[eablair3]

Now, you know that BushCo is talking about how they are gong to deal with the Socialists in Spain that won a huge victory Sunday. (Gee, Spain votes on a Sunday?)

BushCO will no doubt start focuing the resources of the NED on Spain now. Will they start funding the conservatives there through the NED and its sub-entities? Will they try some kind of economic undermining of Spain's economy? YOu know they will be paying members of the conservative party to organize and so forth. What kinds of unrest do you see happening in Spain now?

1. Good question

What is the US record on coups in industrialized nations?

2. Destabilizing Europe would be an exponential escalation. I don't think

this crew are THAT nuts. We would have no allies at all then.

3. like george orwell

I will travel to spain to fight the fascist armies..(bush and co)

4. Blair is next

This next election should similarly crown Brown the king and depose
the complicit ghassanid with budh. Likely seeing the success the
bombing had on the poll, such a trick should be watched for in the
next british poll.

Mussolini berlusconi could go down in a foaming sea of lawsuits if
this trend opens up... What a kick! Then the danish right might
fall to the left and chiraq down as well.

The EU is 1 confidence vote away from being intensely non-atlantic.
The scale is tipped. Bush will be tipped himself. He fucked with
the wrong people (his own citizens) and he's going down.

Liberal people rule!! don't fuck with us. Britain should change
its leader to the next liberal man standing. Geopolitically, were
such a power to join together, (britain joining euro) then the
EU could pull the dead weight dropped by the US decline to keep the
global economy from collapsing as the US empire overreaches and
bankrupts.

5. WOW

10. I think that the people are liberal and it is world wide.

It takes a up to date society to live in this world and this silly 'cowboy' stuff or doing it alone is just not with it at all. I think we should go the way of Europe and get with other countries. I have it in the back of my mind that Europe has figured out that after 100's of years of wars with each other, that it just does not pay. Why we have picked up the war business is just to far out.

11. Blair is going nowhere

not least because Brown doesn't want to push the issue anymore. If he was ever going to jump on Blair, it would have been right before top-up fees and Hutton. Brown called his dogs off to allow Tony to win top-up fees, and will wait until the next parliament for his premiership. Whether he gets it or not is a different issue.

13. fuck that toady Gordon Brown

Robin Cook was right about the war and WMDs and had the conviction to resign his position rather than work with a lying war criminal government. I know he's not popular, and he's Scottish, but as far as I can tell he's the only senior Labour politician with any credibility right now.

[Vladimir]

14. Well said

but Cook can do nothing - his time is long gone. The European elections this summer will tell us how wide the dislike of Blair is, but I have few doubts that he will be returned for a third term - or that Howard will succeed him (heaven forbid).

15. I agree about cook being the right man for the job

just realpolitik. Brown might turn out to be a historic labour
prime minister. Just i hope he's matured about his drugs policy
views.

6. What are Spain's major trading partners in the Western hemisphere? n/t

9. Spain has re-joined Europe with this vote.

Now Blair stands alone. But I´m confident the next elections in rainy Brittany will fix that :-)

As a side note, all elections in Europe are on Sundays or holidays. How else would the majority of people vote here ? Unless a government wouldn´t want people to vote it... Hang on. Am I on to something here ?

12. When is the next election in Britain that Blair will be in?

when is that next British election in which The Poodle is at risk?

[LeahMira]

16. I'd bet the Spanish would think "bring it on!"

Spain is joining with Germany and France and will send troops if so requested by the United Nations, but not if so requested by Bush. It now has more alllies looking out than it did when it was dependent on the United States for support.
