Yeah, right. Talk about biased titles... and since there were complaints about the whole "Bush knew about 9/11 attacks" title in the other thread, I'll say this one is controversial too.

Well, Zapatero always said that he was against the intervention in Iraq, and he said that he would withdraw the troops as soon as possible but that he would maintain the troops there until June 30th if the US would back up and let the UN take the lead instead. The US didn't meet his expectations, he kept his words.
Look, the article you linked to even mentioned it :

Quote:
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero issued the abrupt recall just hours after his government was sworn in, saying there was no sign the United States would meet his demand for United Nations (news - web sites) control of the postwar occupation — his ultimatum for keeping troops there.
That's pure constancy to me. Yay for Zapatero.
Finally a guy who does keep his promises. I'd rather say : Western Chickenhawks 0 Western Peace-defenders 1. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
