They Know Us All Too Well

Documents in France appear to indicate that the March 11th train bombing in Madrid was indeed a plot to ensure Spain's pullout from Iraq.

PARIS (AFP) - Al-Qaeda reportedly planned to target Spain as the weakest link of the coalition in Iraq to force its troop pullout, according to a document from the terror network.

"We consider that the Spanish government cannot suffer more than two to three strikes before pulling out (of Iraq) under pressure from its own people," said the document obtained Wednesday by AFP from Raido France Internationale's regional office in Beirut.

"If these (Spanish) forces remain after the strikes, the victory of the socialist party would be near-guaranteed and the pullout of Spanish forces from Iraq would be on its agenda," said the document, distributed ahead of the March 11 attacks in Madrid.

Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, elected after the train bombings in Madrid which left 191 people dead in Spain's worst ever terrorist attack, withdrew Spanish troops from the troubled country in May...

Made-up of 54 pages in Arabic, the document has been authenticated by western experts of the Islamic radical terror network of Saudi-born fugitive Osama bin Laden.

The document, entitled "the Iraq of Jihad (holy war): hopes and dangers," was prepared by the "information agency for the support of the Iraqi people -- office of services for the Mujahedeen (holy warriors)."

A lengthy chapter of the document focuses on "the main allies of the United States in their aggression against Iraq: Britain, Italy, Poland and Spain, as well as some Arab countries."

But most of the chapter is about Spain, considering that the pullout of Spanish troops would "constitute a pressure on the British (military) presence that (Prime Minister) Tony Blair would not be able to bear."


To The Anti-War Left And The News Media:

Our enemies know you and what you're capable of. They've read their history books and know the effect the anti-war protesters had on the Vietnam war.

They're willing to do whatever it takes to make America look evil and incapable. They'll sacrifice their own children and cut the heads off of as many people as it takes. They'll even pretend like their safe-houses and training camps are actually wedding parties so it will look like our military is murdering civilians.

They are using you. They want to manipulate you and use you to weaken your own country so that they can accomplish their dastardly goals. Please stop and consider this the next time you're getting ready to jump down President Bush's throat for his "evil war."

That is all.
