A Moment Of Pride For Italian Diplomacy... NOT!

Why… why did God provide this dimwit with a mouth??? Whyyyyy??? If He wanted a laugh I could have told Him a joke! Why did He have to inflict this plague on us???

Here’s the translation of Silvio Berlusconi’s latest feat. I am seriously wondering how it is possible that he’s not yet been hit by God’s lightning…

Here’s the original article from La Repubblica, one of the few newspapers who are still saying things as they are (and for that they get sued): http://www.repubblica.it/2009/07/sezioni/economia/eni-gas/turchia-berlusconi/turchia-berlusconi.html

A source in the Turkish government reveals what happened behind the scenes at the signing of the South Stream agreement
"The Premier (Me: read the Psychodwarf) called: he wanted to participate in the ceremony. Mr Putin and Mr Erdogan smiled” (Me: read they rolled on the floor laughing)

Berlusconi "hero" of the pipeline?
Turkey’s “surprise”


ISTANBUL – When the Italian president of the council (Me: that’s what we call the head of the government in Italy) Silvio Berlusconi defined the agreement signed yesterday between Turkey and Russia concerning the South Stream pipeline as a “great success of Italian diplomacy”, the government of Ankara was quite surprised. It was revealed by a source in Mr Erdogan’s government to Reuters, who today report on Mr Berlusconi’s “bizarre” intrusion into the signing ceremony.

The agreement between Moscow and Ankara to let the Russian pipeline pass under the Turkish waters in the Black Sea through to Europe had “already been achieved – the source tells Reuters - when the Turkish government received an unexpected last-minute request by Mr Berlusconi, who wanted to participate in the signing ceremony” between Russian premier Mr Vladimir Putin and Turkish premier Mr Tayyip Erdogan, in Ankara. The source adds that a “certain surprise” ensued when they realised that Mr Berlusconi wanted to claim the achieving of the agreement as his own personal success.

“It’s the kind of thing that might cause a diplomatic issue – the Turkish source says – but because it was Mr Berlusconi , it only made the two leader’s smile (Me: read “Oh, it’s only that Italian buffoon, don’t mind him”)”. Reuters also quotes the Italian government’s website reporting a statement according to which the South Stream project is “a personal success of the Italian prime minister”. According to the Turkish, it’s a real “exaggeration”.
