From what I read, Italy was pretty ticked off at that commie reporter. I find it hard to imagine one whiny women has that much influence over the country's political decisions. It's time to start letting Iraq take control. If countries with a small number of troops pull out, and Italy only has 3,000, it's a start towards their independence.
Throughout our relative few years as a nation, our blood has been spilled around this planet for the benefit of other nations. Our military has carried the weight of the world on it's back. We always have. And as long as we are Americans, we always will. That's what makes us Americans. Willing to fight and die so others can be free. What they do with that freedom is up to them.
