WASHINGTON President George W. Bush will play host to Silvio Berlusconi at his Texas ranch this weekend, a reward for the Italian prime minister's strong support during the Iraq war.
Berlusconi, a conservative, has been a stalwart Bush backer. With the visit Sunday and Monday, he will earn the rare distinction of having visited Bush at both Camp David and the Texas ranch.
"Italy is among the United States' closest allies in NATO, and has been a strong supporter in the global war on terrorism and in bringing peace and democracy to Iraq," said the White House spokesman, Ari Fleischer.

"Berlusconi to see Bush in Texas "This would be a great opportunity for him to 'fess up about Italy's role in those forged documents.

Berlusconi, whose pro-U.S. stance over the war in Iraq caused a rift with France and Germany, has been criticized in some quarters for concentrating more on relations with the United States than with other EU member states.Gee, I wonder why? </SARCASM>

I think the International Herald Tribune was sold to another company, maybe even the New York Times? Anyway we can scratch this one off the excerpt-only list.
