Too simple. The Spanish have resisted the Basques for decades.

He's not talking about Basques. He's talking about Islamic terrorists,
who have just succeeded (as they will interpret it) in forcing Spain
to pull out of Iraq.

Of course the socialists might well have won without the bombing, and
would certainly have pulled out their troops, but nobody is going to
think of that. What they are going to think is this:

1) Spain joined the invasion of Iraq.

2) Spain got bombed by what seem to have been Islamic terrorists.

3) Spain pulled out of Iraq.

4) Bombing works, Q.E.D.
