Al, I agree with you that Spain's pullout is disturbing but not unexpected. In any case, their involvement in Iraq was symbolic with only 1500 troops. Except for the UK, everyone else has a symbolic presence, me thinks. The question is how do you extricate yourself from a mess? I think that this is the worst way possible...that is, under threat of terror. Bush opened a pandora's box by making this 'bold' move into Iraq. And I'll tell you.....the questionable people in his administration don't know how to get us out of this mess. Consider the following...radical groups (even Al Queda) manage to kill Musharaf and take control of Pakistan, with its nukes and hotbed of radicalism...WOW...watch the US abandon Iraq faster than you can say "saddam hussein".
