Spanish firm on withdrawal from Iraq: "'The occupation is ... a fiasco,' said Mr Zapatero in a radio interview, adding that there have been more deaths since the end of the war than during last year's US-led invasion and that the United Nations was still not in control.
Others may urge Spain to keep its 1,300 peacekeeping troops in Iraq, but 'fighting terrorism with bombs ... with Tomahawk missiles, isn't the way to defeat terrorism,' he said. 'Terrorism is confronted by the state of law ... that's what I think Europe and the international community have to debate.'"
