I am glad someone else noticed. I watched him this morning, turned to my wife and said:"He has effectively said that he will keep troops in Iraq, by making it contingent on two things that are supposed to occur anyway: a transfer of sovereignty by June 30th, and the involvement of the UN in assisting the Interim Government. He may prove interesting........

Hi Sig; Re: "Scott: It appears Spain has a polished Politician in charge. Notice he has an "out" on that promise to withdraw troops, if the UN becomes involved in Iraq. He can use that threat a bargaining chip with the EU, with other countries, to gain concessions. It would just require his use of the right words to the public, to explain what advantage could result from leaving Spanish troops in Iraq. Sig@spintime.com" Yes, it was "spin time", but, as usual, you were the one that was doing the spinning. Spain is pulling out. Any comments? -- Carl
