Berlusconi dismissed concerns about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, saying the former regime of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) could easily have destroyed or exported them and, in any case, the arrest of Saddam was justification enough.
"The real weapon of mass destruction in Iraq was Saddam Hussein -- and he was found."
Got to love Berlusconi!
It'a great to have a few leaders like him, Blair and Australia's Howard supporting us, who are not afraid to speak out.
fyi :^)
I may never be able to insult Italian military valor again.
It's awfully nice to hear some kind words for our President for a change, as well as such strong words of support from Europe....and via Reuters no less!
Has anyone checked the temperature in Hades lately? Getting chilly down there?

I had the honor of meeting GWB when I volunteered for his 2000 campaign. Had a pic taken with him too. He's nice but not smarmy and not phony either.
Bless him for these quotes. No nuance, just an honest opinion of GWB. Bump.
Kerry is running around telling everyone who'll listen that Bush is harming the country with his go-it-alone, cowboy style. To Kerry, no one outside of American borders is interested or willing to help us in our fight. In this article, Berlusconi makes Kerry's stance seem ridiculous. But then again, Kerry may not want to acknowledge that people such as Berlusconi exist.
I really wish the Coalition and its leaders would publicize more the discovery of Sarin gas & mustard gas shells.
Shout it out from the rooftops!!!

If not for the socialists shicken chits, he'd still be in power.
Just booked my vacation to Italy this summer. I will drive from Venice to the Amalfi Coast.
Memo to al Queda vermin: Freep you and the camel you rode in on.
I wish we have more leaders like him.
I'm so thankful for Berlusconi's sentiments...and those of others. What a blessing.
