<<CNN also has obtained an al Qaeda document that spells out the terrorist
group's plan to separate Spain from the U.S.-led coalition on Iraq.
The document was published on the main message board that is used by al Qaeda
and its sympathizers last December.
The strategy spelled out in the document calls for using terrorist attacks to
oust Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar's Partido Popular from power and replace
it with the Socialists.
That, in turn, was expected to drive a wedge between Washington and Madrid
and result in the withdrawal of Spanish military forces from Iraq.
"We think the Spanish government will not stand more than two blows, or three
at the most, before it will be forced to withdraw because of the public
pressure on it," the al Qaeda document says.
"If its forces remain after these blows, the victory of the Socialist Party
will be almost guaranteed -- and the withdrawal of Spanish forces will be on
its campaign manifesto.">>

**Yes, absolutely. But the problem still remains. How to say, "No!" to
unfortunate incompetents resembling GWB and yet still remain (appear)
strong enough to withstand terrorism...?? Is this not a double-edged sword??
