libertangoMr. Brooks:
Saying that the result of the Spanish elections is a victory for al Qaeda only works if a) one hates democracy, and b) one thinks there is any linkage between Iraq and al Qaeda.
Surely the fact that the Spanish attacks happened after one year of the US occupying Iraq shows there is no such linkage.
You ask where was the State Department. I ask, where was the Bush Administration at all, and our counter-terrorism forces specifically? At least the Spanish realize that it is terrorism that is the enemy, and not counting coup against family enemies of the Administration in Iraq.
Tell me how ceasing to be distracted by Iraq to focus on combating al Qaeda is a "victory" for al Qaeda.
Sincerely,
etc.
