A rotten Thursday!

The slimeballs responsible for the train bombings must be found and destroyed, simple as that. Now that they have influenced a national election, they will be emboldened and even more dangerous. Those who try to appease them will be most vulnerable. That means that most of Socialist Europe is now at risk. Call it "appeasement", or "accommodation", or "co-existence", or any other euphemism for cowardice, history shows it's inevitably fatal.

As concerns the impact on the President of a withdrawal of the Spanish contingent: that contingent represents less that 1% of the coalition's committed forces; insignificant in the extreme, and Poland has already pledged to make up the difference. Hardly bad news for W.
