"If its forces remain after these blows, the victory of the Socialist Party will be almost guaranteed - and the withdrawal of Spanish forces will be on its campaign manifesto."
This is upsetting for two reasons. First is because you can't allow the terrorists to think their tactics work and in this sense, we're going to have a huge problem on our hands for security and political reasons. Second is that, while I don't support us being in Iraq to begin with, you simply can't just throw everything aside, pack up, and leave. For the sake of the people of Iraq and the stability of the area, it would be murder to just allow everything to go to hell. We're in it, regardless of it being a good idea or not, and now we've got to finish it.
I think Spain should get a nice "fuck you" card.
