40,000 would not be enough.

“They are assassins without scruples and they deserve the most severe punishment.”

EU frowns upon the death penalty miss. It’s not tolerant of diversity.

Forty years? I’ll be surprised if they serve 40 months. Kidnap a few diplomats and the Euros will cave, does anyone doubt it?

The court found three defendants, Jamal Zougam, Otman el Gnaoui and José Emilio Suárez Trashorras, guilty of “the murder of 191 people and two involuntary abortions”. Two of the women who died in the train bombings were pregnant at the time. The three men were also found guilty of conspiring to cause the deaths of 1,856 people injured in the attacks, and sentenced to several thousand years in jail, although under Spanish law, they will serve a maximum sentence of 40 years.

Sadly, Europe will have to suffer many more heinous terrorist acts before they go crusader on islamofacist ass...

Western nations lack spine, including many here in the US. It only emboldens these f*king barbarians.

Of course they laughed. The whole world laughs at Spain’s fecklessness.

Imagine, for murdering multiple men, women and babies they can only serve 40 years. It’s as if injustice is written into the law before the trial even begins.

They are so, so fortunate I do not have anything to do with their sentence.

40,000 years in a Spanish prison is luxury compared to Eternity in Hell ....

The three received symbolic sentences of more than 40,000 years each but under Spanish law they will serve a maximum of 40 years.

What does one have to see to be convienced evil exist and if these secularistic, ignorant countries don't overcome it by doing the RIGHT thing, there will be no freedom, and only misery.

40 years should be a minimum sentence for these murderers!

I could fly to Spain tonight, slaughter a few dozen people in downtown Madrid with a shotgun, lob a few grenades into the stands of a “futbol” match killing a few dozen more, and then get into a running gun battle with the police killing several of them and then surrendering before they got to me. And I could still be out of jail in time to play with my grandkids. Wow.

With the bombs going off just three days before a general election, Spaniards became convinced that the attacks were a reprisal for their involvement in US-led invasion of Iraq.

After months of polls predicting Mr Aznar would win another term, the traumatised country voted in the Socialist opposition. Within three days of becoming prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero kept his pledge and brought the troops home.

There's your blueprint - an attack on US soil one news cycle before Nov. 4, 2008, and the "traumatised country" will vote in "the Socialist opposition".

Kidnap a Spaniard or two, threaten to cut off their heads on Terrorist TV, and all 3 get released. They are laughing, because they got the Euro weenies by the gonads.

In Denmark and some other Western European countries they are already discussing giving the Islamists enclaves governed by sharia. Unfortunately, many leftists here in the USA agree with those sentiments, so we will no doubt see a similar push for such a policy here.

I agree. How many people will have to die before people get a bellyfull and say, “wipe them out”, an and actually start to make them suffer.

The Spanish are cowards and appeasers. Sooner or later, they will get it again.

They must be using tiny, little eyebrow tweezers to get a good grip.

“The Spanish are cowards and appeasers.”

As much as I love Spain and the Spanish people, I have to agree that this is true of their stinking socialist leaders and many of their people. (and even our own filthy RINOs and democraps.)

“Sooner or later, they will get it again.”

Having lived in Spain for over 2 years, dated many a senorita and lifted many a “copita” with Spanish miltary officers, I can totally agree with your assessment.

I think a terrorist attack against Spain is coming that will make 3-11 and even 9-11 look like a picnic. Then, I believe, the traditional Spanish attitude will then take over. And the streets of Spain will run red with muslim blood.
