My father was part of the 5th Army's assault into Italy. He won two Bronze stars...one for organizing the street people of Naples to work in an ordinance factory, and one for a secret mission he undertook to take a scientist out of Italy (assigned that because he had taught himself Italian).
I am so sorry my dad never heard Berlusconi's words, both today and at Camp David about 2 years ago. He would have been so happy to hear it, because he loved the Italians.

God Bless him for having the courage to speak the truth. His statement is a wonderful tribute to all of the soldiers who fought in the war.

Silvio Berlusconi gets it, and wants the Italian people to get it. What a magnificent speech!..
We now invite the Italians in a raid against an even more dangerous enemy -- France Iran.

I wonder if the Italians know how grateful we are to have them by our side in this fight. We won't forget.

Great, I feel even better about boycotting French Wine and buying Italian.
To: muleskinner
It is even thanks to America that many Italians, thieves of bicycles, could then buy a Vespa and a Fiat Seicento. WTF? LOL
It might be referring to Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thieves), an Italian film made in 1948 which focused on the economic problems following the war. I haven't seen it, but imdb.com has a listing for it.

For tomorrow night's dinner, the wine will be Italian. Not a bad thought, that.

"It is even thanks to America that many Italians, thieves of bicycles, could then buy a Vespa and a Fiat Seicento."
"WTF? LOL"
The joke is that after the war, the Italians were so poor that they took to stealing bicycles throughout the country because they needed wheels but couldn't afford cars. There was even a famous movie that identified with this phenomenon called "The Bicycle Thief".
To: Mr. Mojo; Euro-American Scum
Ping for a great tribute to America and our soldiers!
