Bush guarantees to kill off remains of Spain's Popular Party
From Spain's ABC:
The President of the United States of America, George Bush, received... Spain's former chief executive José María Aznar in the Oval Office in a private audience that lasted 40 minutes.
Aznar thus becomes the first European head of state---in his case, ex--- to be able to personally congratulate Bush for his victory in the presidential elections, while the current Spanish president, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, continues to wait for the White House to respond to last's week's phone call....
Bush's ties to Aznar sank his party in the last Spanish elections. It is safe to assume that four more years will guarantee the rise of anti-American leaders across Western Europe rending the transatlantic alliance even further; democratic elections could hardly result in anything else.
