President Bush to New Spanish PM: Congrats!
WASHINGTON -- President Bush
congratulated Spain's newly elected Socialist prime minister on Monday and the White House said the two pledged to work together on fighting terrorism.
The victory of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero of the opposition party was a setback for the Bush administration, which had received rock-solid support on the Iraq (news - web sites) war from departing Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.
"The two leaders said they both looked forward to working together, particularly on our shared commitment to fighting terrorism," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
Oh really?
