The Spanish Effect

Via OTB (yes, again) I learned this:

An Iraqi group threatened in a video tape aired Wednesday to kill six hostages from India, Kenya and Egypt if the Kuwaiti company they worked for did not pull out from Iraq, Al Arabiya television reported. The Dubai-based television aired the tape of what it said were the masked captors and their hostages as they demanded that the company leave Iraq. They also demanded that India, Kenya and Egypt withdraw their personnel from Iraq.

Three or Four of you might recall the International Day of Mourning I started after Spain announced it would recall it's troops from Iraq. Check that post out. All of this was very predictable, and with the Phillipines following the Spanish model this news should come as a shocker only to Dean/Nader fringe of Kerry supporters.

Thank you Spain, and give our warmest regards to the Phillipines.
