God terroism sucks.

Obvious train of thought.

Bombs went off in Spain.
Spain's first letter is S.
The first letter in Saddam Hussein's name is "S".
Saddam Hussein caused the explosions.
Let's get Libya.

Hah, for some reason, that reminded me wacky way in which Batman and Robin used to solve the Riddler's riddles on the old Batman TV show from the 70's.

 

[SlickWilly223]

Well Spain has no soldiers fighting in Iraq, so why did they bomb them?

Reminds me of that South Park episode "Cancelled"

Chef: We have to find a way to stop those aliens!
Jeff: Oh, their ship is massive! There's no way to stop it! Wait a minute, jackets!
Chef: Oh no.
Jeff: If people don't wear jackets they could get cold. A cold is caused by a virus. A viru- a computer virus! We could make a computer virus and send it to their ships to disable their computers!
Chef: That doesn't make any God-damned sense!

Fuck that I'm still going to Madrid in January.

 

[Firest0rm]

This has nothing to do with Iraq or Muslim extremists Badabing, it was carried out by Eta.

Commissioner Gordon: It could be any one of them... But which one? Which ones?
Batman: Pretty *fishy* what happened to me on that ladder...
Commissioner Gordon: You mean where there's a fish there could be a penguin?
Robin: But wait! It happened at sea... Sea. C for Catwoman!
Batman: Yet, an exploding shark *was* pulling my leg...
Commissioner Gordon: The Joker!
Chief O'Hara: All adds up to a sinister riddle... Riddle-R. Riddler!
Commissioner Gordon: A thought strikes me... So dreadful I scarcely dare give it utterance...
Batman: The four of them... Their forces combined...
Robin: Holy nightmare!

Batman: [reading a riddle] What has yellow skin and writes?
Robin: A ball-point bananna!
Batman: [reads the second riddle] What people are always in a hurry?
Robin: Rushing people... Russians!
Batman: So this means...
Robin: A Russian is going to slip on a banana and hurt himself!
Batman: Precisely, Robin!

Great dude, Ripclawe is going to forward this to Bush and we are going to be at war with Libya by the end of the month.

Looks like only 6 people suffered injuries. Good job by the Spanish police in making sure this wasn't worse then it could have been, and dealing with the Eta call was done very well.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Great dude, Ripclawe is going to forward this to Bush and we are going to be at war with Libya by the end of the month.

President Bush: Today, at around 3 o'clock or around there, a young boy named Ripe Claws told me that on some gay forum dot com website on the internets, he told me that Saddam Hussein set off them bombs over there in Spain. Well, this proves behind a shadow of doubt that he has connections will all them terrorists everywhere acrosst the world. Therefore, we must strike the most evil hive of unmorality around, Libya, to show them terrorists we mean business! I'd like to thank Ripe Claws, and hope that he works hard to shut down the gay forum. God bless you all, good night.

Is this from a real episode or did you just make that up? I feel like I have seen that exact episode. Especially the Russians line. :lol

Libya? We got oil interests and business opportunities now since they came clean and thought they would be a target. Now Syria...

I have confidence that Zapatero will prevail, as he said they have been fighting terrorism for 30 years, you figure they would know what they are doing by now.

[Aizu_Itsuko]

Well Spain has no soldiers fighting in Iraq, so why did they bomb them?

As pointed, this has nothing to do with Iraq, but Spain is still under the threat of another Al Qaeda terrorist attack.


Umm.
I'll explain for those interested.

One year before the bombings, Spain's government decided to support Iraq's invasion against the spaniards' public opinion (more than 90% were openly against it). People were really mad about it, especially because it was the government who asked their opinion in the first place after the first contrary voices were heard. There were demonstrations with millions of people on the streets and the government was being criticized everywhere, so the PSOE (the other big political party in Spain) used the whole situation to gain some votes attacking the government's decision and positioning themselves with the public opinion. Zapatero promised that if they won the elections they were going to retire all support to Iraq's invasion.

Thing is, with the bombings Al Qaeda wanted Spain to pull their troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. The PSOE won the elections and so they retired all support to Iraq's invasion, which included the demagogic decision of pulling our troops out of Iraq, even though most people wanted the troops to stay (now that the damage was done, we couldn't just leave as if nothing ever happened). At the same time, the PSOE decided to send more troops to Afghanistan as a way to compensate our allies for pulling our troops from Iraq, and I'm pretty sure that this last action will result in future repercussions. Well, not like terrorism is unheard of in Spain.

[Aizu_Itsuko]

This is not a muslim terrorist attack

I don't know if this was in response to my post, so I want to make something clear.

When I said that "this has nothing to do with Iraq", I mean that the attack was made by ETA. I was just telling Badabing that the possibility of a new Al Qaeda attack in Spain exists.

Please tell me you just made that up. Otherwise, I gotta start watching old Batman reruns.

As I stated above, those quotes are from the movie. Everyone should just go out and buy the DVD, it's usually like 5 bucks. It has a couple even more ludicrous paths of logic than those, but I couldn't find transcripts of them.

and dealing with the Eta call was done very well.

As Ripclawe said, it's just a matter of experience.

Oh, and..

QUOTE=Aizu_Itsuko]

... even though most people wanted the troops to stay (now that the damage was done, we couldn't just leave as if nothing ever happened).[/QUOTE]

Did we?

 

[Aizu_Itsuko]

Did we?

I got that impression.

Most concerns seemed related to the government's decision to support the war and (later on) the possibility of our troops killing civilians, but most people I've talked with (both in real life and on the internet) wanted to support Iraq's reconstruction. It was mainly the PSOE who gave it first priority.

 

[megateto]

Not on my side, but who cares.

Hasta luego¡¡¡

 

[Aizu_Itsuko]

Anyway, nice to see another spaniard on the boards.
