Notably missing from that list of priorities is hitting back.

"Europe does not find itself at war." Compare and contrast Bush post 911 - not forgetting the atmosphere then, very united behind the Pres - "We wage a war to save civilization itself. We did not seek it, but we will fight it and we will prevail."

Maybe Spain would prefer to make sure that they have the right targets sighted before striking back.

Maybe Cowboy Dubya could learn something from that.
