This is perfect example of propagandist crap.Originally posted by Uncle Sparky
South Korea - perfect example of a US puppet. How many US troop are there & how long have they been there ? How free and fair have S Korean elections been ? How is political dissent handled ? How much US money is invested in S Korea ?
I could go on, but a best case scenario for American Iraq is becoming a South Korea.
South Korea is not pulling out Joncha, I hear that party too says it will stay with its committments.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Actually it was all very much backed by the United Nations and the US approved the United Nations plan.Originally posted by GePap
Zapatero wanted a handover to UN control. There is no plan for UN control of any kind come June 30th, or before. Handover to a provesional government soley dependent on the US military for internal security (just ook at what Bremer said), that US military being control from Washington, is NOT UN control.

Ok, but look, the new Spanish PM promised to get his country's troops out of Iraq in short order shortly arter winning the election. How long did it take for his troops to become the subject of fresh attacks? They didn't give the Spaniards much time to carry out their withdrawal did they? I don't think that the Iraqi "insurgency" is capable of negotiating in good faith, so what's the point of responding to any of their demands?"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

No he didn't. He said he would maintain troops there until June 30th. I'm saying Spanish troops should stay there and kill as many insurgents as possible (of the few that remain).Originally posted by Dr Strangelove

Spain's decision to pull out of Iraq has nothing to do with any so-called "truces." The people opposed going into Iraq in the first place and the Socialists promised to pull them out if elected. Al Qaeda and others are just trying to use this to their own advantage--like some bad OT troll--and the chickenhawks keep biting.~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment
