Massimo d'Alema, Media Critic


Conclusione: «Non vedo quale sia l´obiettivo politico di un aumento delle truppe, è un aspetto che non ci convince». A Riad, dove per difendersi dall´accusa di antiamericanismo l´altroieri aveva detto di essere «meno antiamericano dei sauditi e della Cnn» [...]

This is former Communist Massimo d'Alema, Italy's new foreign secretary. I'll translate: "I don't see what the political objective of a surge in US troop levels would be; it's an unconvincing aspect [of Bush's plan]. In Riyadh the day before yesterday, in order to defend himself from charges of antiamericanism, he said to be 'less antiamerican than the Saudis and CNN'."

Powwww!

I was thinking of passing this on to Taranto but it's a week old. I hope commie Massimo speaks up again.

So Massimo has le sens de la repartie. Good for him -- that's a rare thing among commies. What did Mr. Fonda say?
