Sometimes, it sucks to be right.

Public pressure will be great, as 6 in 10 Italians now think the war is wrong. Our useless press here in the states continually downplays the importance of this event in Europe, and the galvanizing effect it's having on sentiment towards the U.S.

Today:
Italy 'to pull troops from Iraq'
This news sucks. Our men and women will continue to be the target of daily attacks, and now they're losing support.

P.S. I haven't forgotten about the war yet Dartful. Although I bet *you* have.

ChadTower:
How many times does Italy have to pull their troops before their troops are pulled? Am I wrong in my recollection that this is about the third time they've made that declaration?
mr.Curmudgeon:
I have never heard the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi make this claim before. I'm apt to believe it.
Even if it isn't true - maybe it's political posturing for his constituency in Italy - is this really good for our troops morale?

We Italians always "SAY" we're gonna pull out.

I haven't forgotten how you manipulate stories to fight your wars.
It didn't help you win the election, but as long as you and your team are staying out of my way, keep up the good work.
