I think he's just keeping his campaign promises and is just consistent what he said before, the hypothetical withdrawal is not, in his eyes nor in spanish people eyes, a consequence of Thursday attack. However I agree with you, globally the chain of consequences looks : Terrorist Attack => Withdrawal and that's a Bad Thing (TM). Some reserve, a delay, would have broken the apparent chain of consequences. -- Jean-Marc _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
