I just got back from a late night/morning lobbying session. WHEW! Bush now has fast track!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I MADE IT A POINT TO FIND OUT IF SPAIN WAS GOING TO BE IN THE EXPANDED TRADE AGREEMENT AND THE CLEAR AND LOUD ANSWER WAS YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THERE WERE SPANISH YES SPANISH COMPANIES LOBBYING FOR THE FAST TRACK. THE GOVERNMENT OF SPAIN AND THE BUSINESS ELITE ARE PUSHING AHEAD, I GUESS I DON'T NEED TO ASK SPAIN TO GET ON BOARD ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY SITTING IN FIRST CLASS!!!!!! VIVA ESPAñA AND LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS Y LOS AMERICAS!!!!!!!!!!
Buenos noche y buenos sueno( I've already had mine)

I don't understand why a thread dealing with US-Spanish trade relations and resulting ramifacations is forbidden on this board. If people would stop with the "I know more than you", "No you don't!" posturing BS, it would be a worthy discussion.

Just my two cents (with due consideration for existing and potential tarriffs, excise taxes, VAT's and multinational currency transfer fees.)
