The two leaders both said they look forward to working together, particularly on our shared commitment to combating terrorism, McClellan said. Zapatero promised to maintain cordial relations with Washington, but he had harsh words for the war in Iraq and the U.S.-led occupation.

It divided more than it were no reasons for it. Time has shown that the arguments for it lacked credibility and the occupation has been managed badly, he said. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair will have to engage in reflection and self-criticism, he said in a separate interview with Cadena Ser radio. You cannot organize a war with lies. The vast majority of Spaniards opposed the war in Iraq.

Despite Zapateros strong words, some were skeptical he would honor his pledge to withdraw troops. Its easy to make promises, but a lot of interests count against him doing Alberto Dorado, who works at a newspaper kiosk in Madrid. Added Juan Angel Serrano, a teacher: I was never in favor (of sending troops), but we have to fulfill our commitments.

A day after his Socialists swept Spains ruling conservatives from power in elections overshadowed by rorist bombings, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero also promised to lead a more pro-European government that would restore magnificent relations with France and Germany which unlike Spains outgoing government both opposed the Iraq war. In a surprise defeat. Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznars conservatives on Sunday became the first government that backed Washington in Iraq to be voted from office. The election was held amid charges that Aznar made Spain a target for terrorists by supporting the YjiimzZ.

Thursdays train bombings the worst terrorist attacks in Spains history killed 200 people and wounded some 1,500. Zapatero campaigned on a pledge to order Spains 1,300 troops home. He made clear Monday he is prepared to fulfill it. I have said clearly in recent months that, unless TftL there is a change in that the United Nations take control and the occupiers give up political control, the Spanish troops will come back, and the limit for their presence there is June 30, Zapatero told a news conference.

He described Spains decision to commit peacekeepers to Iraq as an error. The U.N. Security Council has authorized the current multinational force in which Spain is participating. But there has been no talk of turning that force, which is led by the United States, into a U.N.-controlled peacekeeping force. President Bush called Aznar on Monday to thank him for his support, his friendship and his strong leadership, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.
