A report I saw today stated that Spain has pulled its FFG from the LINCOLN carrier group, which has been sent to help offset/forestall(??) IRANIAN backed actions in the Gulf. How nice......... :o Yes indeed, what are "Allies" for???????? DFO


this was put out by Spain:


"Madrid (AFP) - Spain has recalled a frigate accompanying a US aircraft carrier to the Middle East because of rising tensions between Washington and Tehran, the defence ministry said Tuesday.

"For the moment the frigate Mendez Nunez has left the combat group of the USS Abraham Lincoln," a ministry spokesman told AFP, confirming a report in the Spanish daily El Pais.

"It's a temporary withdrawal, decided by Defence Minister Margarita Robles, as long as the American aircraft carrier is in this zone," the spokesman added.

He said the Spanish frigate had joined the aircraft carrier's strike group for a military exercise.

"No possible confrontation or warlike action is envisaged (by Spain) and it is for this reason that the participation is suspended for the moment," he added."

Uh-huh............... :roll:

Very true: "A reflection of the difference of opinion over how to deal with Iran." However, as Chamberlin conclusively proved, appeasement with dictators simply does not work. :( DFO
