This amusing title is from the Sydney Morning Herald. You can read the entire article here:
When asked if he would be inviting Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to the White House after becoming president McCain responded "I would be willing to meet with those leaders who are friends and want to work with us in a cooperative fashion." He then said something about Mexican President Calderon. The reporter then reminded McCain that he was talking about Spain to which McCain responded "I know the issues, I know the leaders." He then went on to say "All I can tell you is that I have a clear record of working with leaders in the hemisphere that are friends with us and standing up to those who are not and that's judged on the basis of the importance of our relationship with Latin America and the entire region."
Spain is a NATO ally located in Europe, not in the Western Hemisphere. Zapatero has been in office 4 years. Spain sent 1,000 troops to fight in Afghanistan with the United States and in 2004 was the target of an Al Qaeda attack which killed almost 200 and injured more than 2,000.
