H8tank Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 It's been three years and a day since al Qaeda's pre-election attack on a Madrid train station, in which 191 people were murdered. The Los Angeles Times has a follow-up report, which includes this: Spanish officials and experts say the country is potentially in more danger now than ever before as extremist groups reorganize just beyond Spain's southern coast. As the trial began here last month, more arrests and prosecutions were announced, and senior officials say radicals in Morocco and other parts of northern Africa, many with ties to Spain, increasingly take their cues from Al Qaeda. . . . Maghreb-based networks remain the most serious threat to Spain in terms of Islamic extremism, law enforcement officials said this week. They said militants had begun to set up a centralized command and a string of training camps in southern Algeria and northern Mali, and have launched recruiting efforts targeting their brethren who live in Spain. "We are seeing the Al Qaeda-ization of the Maghreb militants, and that is the evolution that most worries us," a senior counter-terrorism official in the Spanish Interior Ministry said in an interview. But wait! Didn't Spain respond to the 3/11 attack by electing a Socialist government that quickly cut and ran from Iraq? Sí, they did! Why in the world would al Qaeda still hate the Spanish then? http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wo...7219,full.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 At the lack of response to this H8! It reminds me of a favorite line from the movie "Monsters Inc." "Your stunned silence is very reassuring!" They don't get "it". Never will! It is a plesent place to dwell, drinking whine and eating cheese while scoffing at the savages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Yeah. If Spain had attacked Iraq, they'd be in much better shape. Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 At the lack of response to this H8! Perhaps because it's perpetuating an old Republican talking point that is devoid of facts. The Spanish government was ACTUALLY booted out by the people because it went out of it's way to try to point the finger at domestic terrorists (ETA) instead of Al-Qaeda after the Madrid attack.

Randall Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 "Why do they hate us?" In 2004 when people asked this question didn't you accuse them of giving support to terrorists? Understand your enemy=comfort to bin laden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Dumb and Dumber back at the tailgate I don't know, but I'm not sure I remember the socialist platform of "if we get out of Iraq there will never be terrorism again" platform.

Did they win? Does Al queda still want to kill them? It is amazing to me how you people can be so naive. Your claims of the old gov't blaming it on ETA may or may not be true, you can't tell, but it has nothing to do with Iraq, al quada and thier hatred of spain.

Ah, I see you are going with the old "3 YESes" form of arguing, wherein you get your interlocutor to respond in the affirmative 3 times, even if your questions are disparate, unrelated, and besides the point. That may get you on the debating team in Oklahoma, but that's pretty weak chit at thehuddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those opposed to the action in Iraq claim that our presence there has provoked the radicals and has made us less safe, instead of slowing the spread of terrorism. Using that logic, Spain's decision to leave Iraq should have bought them some political capital with Islam. The apparent reality is that the religious zealots don't keep score regarding who opposes them or who opposes their enemies. If you are "infidel" you will eventually be targeted, regardless of your political bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is this high-brow intellectual type of response that has been keeping me out of the Tailgate. I just can't respond to such solid argumentation. On topic, clear and irrefutable!

Don't fool yourself that it will ever be gone totally, it won't. We can do a whole heck of a better job in how we tackle it, is all I'm sayin'.
