spain's pm-elect calls iraq occupation a fiasco

spain's next prime minister spurned bush's appeal for unity today and branded the iraq occupation a fiasco as a probe into the madrid bombings that killed 201 people entered a «decisive phase».

«i will listen to mr bush but my position is very clear and very firm, the occupation is a fiasco.»

note: the pm-elect's name is josé luís rodríguez zapatero, rodríguez being his father's lastname and zapatero his mother's. therefore he's NOT to be referred as "zapatero," but as either rodríguez or as rodríguez zapatero. it's not just the ignorance that bothers me, but the fact that nobody even thinks about bloody asking!
