Spanish have effective final say over US navy docking at British base

What will the usual suspects make of this story?

A US navy destroyer, USS McFaul, was going to dock in Gibraltar as part of the 300th anniversary celebrations. However in order to not upset the Spanish it no longer is.

This seems the opposite view of the Labour government, which according to the Telegraph article are playing hardball with the Spanish, because of cooling relations over Iraq.
