European Tribune - Comments - Thursday Open Thread

Thursday Open Thread | 127 comments (127 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Scheunemann is a neocon and all the neocons hate Spain. Plenty of neocons in the McCain camp. Still, everything indicates that McCain himself is forgetful at best, if not outright ignorant. I kind of feel for the old guy as I dread that kind of situation where you are completely out of the loop on a conversation and start spouting nonsense as a defence. Still... a person should learn to ask.

It is the Iraq thing and the cozy relationship between the neocons and Aznar, who has been trolling since he left in 2004.
