We had a leader!

Writing at The Daily Beast, Scott Horton writes that Spanish prosecutors will soon indict six former members of the Bush administration: former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo, former Pentagon general counsel William J. Haynes II, Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff David Addington and former Under-Secretary of Defense Doug Feith
The Spanish prosecutors' "decision is expected to be announced on Tuesday before the Spanish central criminal court, the Audencia Nacional, in Madrid," Horton writes.

This is an act of war.
Jilipollas Bastardos!
Can't find the link right now but I'll continue to search.
Feel free to help!
Whaddya expect from the same pansies that gave in to terrorism?
boycott spanish products.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Friend of mine visited Spain a couple of years ago, reported that the people hate Americans.
OK Spain. You are dead to us. No more tourists. Ever. No more Spanish olive oil, wine, or other products.
Any move to act on this is an act of war.
The Spanish embassy should be warned now. If it gets as far as an indictment they should be expelled.
Any move against the persons listed should be answered with deadly force.
Who am I kidding. Our government will play this for all its worth.
“This is an act of war.”
That’s in a sane world. In the world we live in, the Gitmo terrorists will be set free to live on welfare and in Section 8 housing courtesy of the American taxpayer. The “Bush Six” will be handed over to the Spanish authorities.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise....
Our two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency....
Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope....
Our four...no...Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise...
I’ll come in again.
(Good luck with this you paella-eating surrender monkeys. Remember: The train bombings happened and Spain pulled OUT of Iraq within weeks.)
I have heard Israel makes excellent wine and olive oil, might as well support them.
he supported leftist terrorists and ETA thugs didn’t he?
Will Obama allow them to be transported beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses?
Something along those lines. NRO search is down and that’s probably where I read it.
A real President would call this an unfriendly act and break off all realations as well as shutting down tommorrow the Naval Base at Roda.
Dear Spain:
Remember 1898? We were a second-rate power back them.
We are THE Power now.
Even if we have a louse like Obama in office.
Come and get them.
Sincerely,
A. Clue.
This is just a distraction. It not only gives the far left Obama supporters something to focus on but also those on the right.
More likely a 3rd party country would nab them at customs and extradite them to Spain.
Obama might even squeal a bit over it, but end up doing nothing to please his base.
1960s: The rain falls mainly on the plain.
2000s: Spain falls mainly down the drain.
Maybe not quite an act of war, but rather an act of bravado by a bullfighter nation that thinks it is what it once was. Don’t expect much from the fairydiddlers currently in charge in Washington, but real men would tell the Spanish to indict anyone they want, but if they seize one American against our will, we will take their armed forces out in fifteen minutes and leave Spain in even greater chaos than it has been in recent years; leave it in such bad shape that neither the moors nor the basques will have anything to do with it. Spain lasted about forty five minutes in the last war we had with them, and their relative strength is much less now. Macho pussies, the Spaniards. Their national instrument is the mouth organ.
Most of ‘em live in Texas. One imagines the Governor issuing a warrant for the arrest of the judges for harrassing Texas residents.
the Gitmo terrorists will be set free to live on welfare and in Section 8 housing courtesy of the American taxpayer.
The “Bush Six” will be handed over to the Spanish authorities.
(carrying on)
'Pirates' will run rampant in major ocean shipping lanes, taking hostages and demanding ransoms.
The government will 'own' private corporations.
The 'president' will offend the leaders of our major allies.
The 'president' will humble himself before our enemies.
All senior members of the president's administration will be criminals, crooks, thieves, liars, child molesters, rapists, and murderers.
Remind me what the crimes against Spain were that these gentleman committed?
Why is every Spanish speaking country full of Communist rubbish?
I think it is an act of war, because it is a denial of America’s sovereignty.
Now, it sounds like this is not quite the same as the sort of indictment we are accustomed to, so as long as the Spanish authorities dismiss this, I think there is no long-lasting damage.
It is sad what has happened to Spain in recent years.
I should be outraged by this, but its just Spain. Spain hasn’t mattered since the 1600’s. Now they are desperatly trying to be relevant again. Its sad & pathetic.
This is the same country that is trying to outlaw bullfights? Wouldn’t that be like America trying to outlaw apple pie?
Shut down, nothing! Expand the base until it occupies the entire country!
Remember the Maine!
Spain is being re-conquered by the Moors (muzzies). Hope they enjoy it.
I think I already do.
The left is jubilant. They will get their conviction from a Spanish court they will say the world is with them.
at the same time closer to home as we speak out about the encroachment of foreign governments on our sovereignty we will be called radical Right Wing extremists and put away...
Most likely at Gitmo the left won’t have a problem with that.
Former Left-Wing Terrorist, Compares to George Washington
By Brad Wilmouth | April 7, 2009 - 23:15
On Monday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann seemed to rationalize the actions of the Chile-based Marxist terror group MIR, as he compared one of the group’s followers who helped kidnap a Spanish businessman, and who is currently attempting to have Bush administration members indicted in a Spanish court on war crimes charges, to George Washington.
In response to FNC’s Bill O’Reilly, who last week pointed out that Gonzalo Boye, the attorney in Spain who is trying to have Bush administration members prosecuted, himself spent eight years in a Spanish prison for assisting the MIR, Olbermann suggested that the attorney’s involvement with the Chilean terrorist group was justified because the group’s aim was to topple former dictator Augusto Pinochet.
But Olbermann did not mention that the crime Boye was convicted of being involved in was the 1988 kidnapping of Spanish businessman Emiliano Revilla, who was abducted outside his Madrid home and held eight months for ransom in a collaborated effort between the Chile-based MIR and the Spain-based ETA, another left-wing terror group which has perpetrated bombings and killed many in Spain. Olbermann responded to O’Reilly’s complaint that it was a “big omission” for a New York Times article not to mention Boye’s history by rationalizing Boye’s terrorist history. Olbermann: “Well, no, not as big an omission as forgetting to mention that the man whom Mr. Boye`s collaboration with terrorists targeted was the sadistic Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. This is like Bill-O calling George Washington a terrorist.”
> The Spanish prosecutors’ “decision is expected to be announced on Tuesday ...
I suppose this means that a state of war will exist between the USA and Spain on Tuesday.
Indict them on what?
O’Reilly is livid. I thought he was going to have a Barney Frank moment.
Obama praised the Spainish today. He said that they have proven that green jobs work. I’m not sure what that means, but he sure wasn’t critical of them.
Boycotting by the USA would have little real effect.
Most of Spain’s tourists come from Britain, Germany, Sweden and other European countries.
Severing diplomatic relations would help but not gonna happen with the BHO administration.
The current Spanish government hates the Pope.
Thanks bunches. Still searching for more.
Obama Surrenders!
If they do prosecute them, any nation friendly to Spain is off limits for these guys as well. Extradition would curry favor.
We had a leader!
He probably doesn’t know where it is, and thinks they speak Mexican.
Spanish warrants are valid throughout Europe.
The present Spanish government is just being submissive to Muslims. Please don’t hurt us...! Please don’t hurt us...! Please don’t hurt us...! Please don’t hurt us...! See what compliant lackeys we can be. Please don’t hurt us...!
They still drug, taunt, and slow slaughter bulls. And, there isn’t a single prisoner in Spain who wouldn’t give anything to be in Gitmo instead of the hellhole they are in.
