Every time I hear a European leader talk like this I think, "Just image if George Bush said things like this." Can you imagine? Yet George Bush is supposed to be the one who's inept diplomacy alienates allies.

John F. Kerry of Massachusetts for president in November.

"I said during the campaign I hoped Spain and the Spaniards would be ahead of the Americans for once," Zapatero said in an interview on Onda Cero radio. "First we win here, we change this government, and then the Americans will do it, if things continue as they are in Kerry's favor."

Zapatero, whose Socialist Party swept the governing Popular Party out of office in elections Sunday, just three days after terrorist attacks killed 201 people in Madrid, also rejected President Bush's request that he reconsider his plans to withdraw Spain's troops from Iraq unless the United Nations is given control of the country. "I'll listen to Mr. Bush. But my position is very clear and firm," Zapatero said...

Even Al Queda is smart enough now to try and backtrack and state for some convoluted reason they'd rather Bush win, LMAO!!

Keep Dean and Zapatero (shoe in Spanish?) endorsing Kerry out loud! If only Gore would endorse him, then Bush and Rove can start breathing a bit more easy.
