Yes, after JR gave them false information.

The crack about the Embassy reception was undeserved. The Republicans won't be there either! The Republicans Abroad are frolicking at the Hard Rock Cafe while the Democrats are at the Chesterfield tonight (where are the Greens and Nader supporters going to be?). Embassy functions are rarely open to just anybody who wants to come in (for security and fiscal reasons). The purpose of the Embassy function is to educate the Spanish about the US electoral process and most of the invitees to the Embassy election night function are not USCs. Doesn't sound like much fun anyway. :p

Ignacio:
Once again you have gone out of the way to prove you know nothing about the US. The congress was provided the same information that was provided the President. I might ad your hero Kerry is on the intellegance committee and voted for the war in Iraq.

Good post, Desert Dewler,

Let's face it Saddam Hussein perpretrated the perfect hoax on the world regarding the weapons of mass destruction. He cried Wolf and the world believed him.

The Darfour report contends that Saddam Hussein had everyone convinced, including his own people, that he had these weapons. And since he had the weapons in the early 1990's, and these were well documented by the United Nations, no less, with massive reams of reports, who in his right mind would have doubted him?

Keep in mind that Hussein really feared the Iranians. Certainly all the intelligence agencies believed him, including the European ones, as the Darfur report details.

Is anyone else planning "Election Day Parties" in Madrid or Spain?

(let's keep to the topic, please)

Saludos, MadridMan

Madrid Man: We are haveing an elections party, it is just that there are many miles between us and thanks to your generosity we have this medium to communicate. I raise my glass and salute you and to the victory of Jr.

I am, on Friday. Hoping to celebrate "kerrily", I mean, merrily :p

Well, it's a post election party, obviously...

pim,

No matter who wins, it's grounds for a party. Either to toast the victory or drink away your sorrows.

Heck! That's the way to throw a party! You got it going!

About the topic:

What will be better? Join now, or getting up early? Does somebody know if the place will be closed by the time the votation ends?

Desert dweller:

Sure, man. However, it seems to me that I may more about your country politics than yourself: Did you know that CIA officials have alledged repeatedly that they were pressed by Rumsfeld to find proofs that weren't there?

If not, maybe you should read some independent newspapers. :p

Thus, anyone reading those false files would get false information, the Congress, and in the first place the so called "intelligence" committee.
