time the italian govt echoes what the people that have put it in power say.

Meaning, raise both the red and the white flags at once? Well, if that's what they want, sure, go ahead.

Tecumseh said...

The Guardian is gleeful:

Mr Prodi was excoriating in his criticism of Anglo-American policy. [H]e declared that the invasion of Iraq had been a "grave mistake" and branded the allied military presence an "occupation".

Aahhh, how sweet it must be for the Reds to savor what they must view as their revenge on the hated West! The laughter of the damned...

Tecumseh said...

Despite his abject surrender, Prodi cannot completely please the Left. Still bitchin', bitchin'. And, by the way, why do they need a "Sports minister"?

HOORAY FOR DUROPEAN DEMOCRACY! 50% + 1 decides that Stalin was right.

The Darkroom said...

of all people, you should know italy isn't 50% + 1 against the war... as a matter of fact, there isn't a single western country whose population supports this silly war any longer.

Don't blame the italians for bailing out: even the iraqis
are calling it quits.

"Now I am isolated," said Monkath Abdul Razzaq, a middle-class Sunni Arab, who decided to leave after the bombing. "I have no government. I have no protection from the government. Anyone can come to my house, take me, kill me and throw me in the trash."
Well, OK, I can't blame this guy -- it is depressing, and rather scary, to live under such constant threats to life and limb. I would probably do the same thing, and get out of Dodge while I could.

But I have very little to no sympathy for the likes of Zapatero and Prodi, who just want to cut and run and hide their heads in the sand, while covering their sorry asses by blaming it all on the big bad Bush & Blair. Despicable.

Tecumseh said...


Today Prodi has further exposed these young people to local terrorist attacks, informed by their press of the fact that the current government not only does not support them, but publicly states that they are there to fight a war and not bring peace.


Stabbing in the back the soldiers -- a specialty of the Left.

The Darkroom said...

yup. time to come home.

Tecumseh said...

And hand Iraq on a silver platter to Zarky & Binnie? Those are the wet dreams of Chomsky & co, I'm sure.

The Darkroom said...

Handing iraq to the wackos has already happened and it is the result of the american invasion - as you know, these guys weren't around before w decided to wage peace there. The wackos are there to fight the evil gringo empire and will disappear with the ever-dwindling coalition.

It is now down to w quichote and tony-panza fighting terror mills in the sand.

Tecumseh said...

as you know, these guys weren't around before w decided to wage peace there.

No, I didn't know that. My understanding is that Zarky & others were there beforehand, livin' high on the hog from Saddam's food-for-oil money (well, whatever he could spare after he'd greased the paw of Galloway & Chirac's buddies).

The Darkroom said...

oh yeah, they were assisting saddam with his nuclear program ?

Tecumseh said...

No, just ricin and cyanide. It was up to Chirac & buddies to help Saddam build the bomb.
