When even the Spaniards are pulling the futbol away, probably time to drop your quixotic quest... :-)
It's a small bonfire... OK, just glowing embers really. But I find it funny that the DUmmies actually thought this had legs.

Spain drops case against Bush officials
Source: Herald Sun
A SPANISH judge overnight dismissed a complaint filed against former top US officials over alleged torture at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
Judge Eloy Velasco decided to throw out the case as he said the US justice system is competent to handle any such complaint.
He also argued that the Association for the Dignity of Prisoners of Spain which filed the suit "is not based in Spain".
The association had alleged in 2009 that six officials in the administration of former president George W Bush, including ex-US attorney general Alberto Gonzales, sanctioned torture against prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Looks like the "Bush Six" caught another break.

2. Probably figured it would cost way too much
for something that is basically symbolic, because no one would ever go to jail. I only wish repukes here would stop waisting money doing "symbolic" things like reading the parts of the constitution they like, and voting to throw down laws that they no won't pass.
"Waisting?" Gotta love the "most smartest people in the wurld."

3. The US justice system IS competent to handle it, too bad it's compliant. nt
Or maybe they realize there's nothing to prosecute. Damn that Occam's Razor.

19. If we were competent
then we would already have them on trial. Please help us, rest of the world. We have criminals doing whatever they like and there is nothing we can do about it. It is up to you to bring justice to the international war criminals hiding in America.
Careful there, **** rodgers. Some DUmmies are already using the dreaded WC words to describe the Won.

No, but "Manana" conveys pretty much the same idea.

ventiquattro ore del business; oops, no, that's Italian, not Spanish.
<<trying to learn some Italian so as to communicate with the primitivo marito che è un nano.
Or rather, the primitivo con pene che è dentro e fuori.
Learning Italian is fun.
