CNN poll has 70/30 that the terrorists got a victory

[DeadCryingIsland]

The www.cnn.com poll needs help from those that believe the terrorists didn't get what they demanded. I know they demanded Spain dump Bush and aznar and got what they wanted but can it be called a "victory"?

1. This was a "push-poll" and a stupid one at that. nt

2. Shrub gave bin Laden a victory by withdrawing from Saudi Arabia too.

That was one of bin Laden's key demands after all.

[bemildred]

3. WTC was a terrorist victory too.

So what?

4. Typical Orwellian Speak

Just like War is peace
Freedom is the Patriot Act, etc., etc.

No, this time the People Won, the Country Won - and our current failure of an administration lost - big time.

On Edit - have you guys seen Will Pitt's article:

his article says it all in the last paragraph.

Three Days in Spain
By William Rivers Pitt, TruthOut.com
March 14, 2004

The winds of change are blowing furiously through Spain today, as
terrorism and war take center stage for the first time since September 11
as the determining factors in a democratic election.


It began in horror with the bombing of Spanish commuter trains and the
deliberate slaughter of 200 people on Thursday. Thousands more were
wounded in the blasts, and the entirety of the nation was hurled into the
blackest mourning. The government of Jose Maria Aznar has attempted to
connect the bombings to the Basque separatist group ETA, but evidence
including a videotaped claim of responsibility is pointing towards al
Qaeda as the perpetrators.
