対イラク武力行使

と言っても、アフガン派兵のことだが。

スペインは、アフガンにも派兵してたんだな。

次期社会主義政党は、これで国際的批判を乗り切るらしい。

さて、うまく乗り切れるものか？

Zapatero's campaign manager, Jose Blanco, told Spanish National Radio on Monday that plans to withdraw troops from Iraq by June 30 remain in place unless the occupation gets a U.N. mandate.

Facing criticism from the United States and other countries, an aide to Spain's incoming defense minister, Jose Bono, said Monday the nation will double its military contingent in Afghanistan to 250 soldiers this summer.

That decision was made in consultation with outgoing Defense Minister Federico Trillo, said Bono spokesman Jose Luis Fernandez.

Zapatero's party supports the Afghanistan occupation because it is sanctioned by the United Nations, and NATO is commanding the forces overseeing the country's reconstruction after the ouster of the Taliban.
