Spain faces calls for re-think of Afghan presence
Aug 26, 2010, 11:30 GMT
Madrid - The Spanish government faced calls for a re-think of the country's military presence in Afghanistan Thursday, a day after two Spanish police officers were killed there.
The Catalan regionalist party CiU, which has in the past backed the mission, said a debate should be opened on Spain's participation in a 'war that the international community has very probably lost.'
The far-left party Izquierda Unida (IU), which opposed Spain joining NATO, urged Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government to immediately recall Spanish troops from Afghanistan.
The living conditions of the Afghans had only worsened, an IU spokesman said, accusing the Zapatero government of participating in a 'war subordinated to US interests.'
Spain has about 1,000 troops as part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan.
Spain's main opposition conservative People's Party (PP) did not directly criticize the country's presence in Afghanistan but urged the government to call it a 'war mission' instead of a peace mission.
Leire Pajin from Zapatero's Socialist Party noted that parliament had already given its backing to Spanish soldiers and police officers forming part of the international forces in Afghanistan

when it comes to a couple of deaths. The west invaded Afghan and has murdered thousands of innocents and they continue to occupy this country. Spain then loses 2 of its own and Spain shits its pants and rethinks the whole occupation of Afghan.
If the western people really thought about this for just a second they would see how false this war on terror is, because if this was a real war on terror the west would not panic when it loses 2 of its own as it would fight at any cost if a real true threat was in their face.
But we only have to turn this around and we see that the Afghan people and their brave fighters are the ones who are fighting against terror and they know they will lose many along the way but their fight is true and will win in the end.
The west is a disease ridden perverted/twisted/demonic/murderous people who are faceing ruin and mysery if they do not rise up against their own leaders and follow a path of honesty and fairness and love and respect with all, no matter what race/colour/religion.
