Just when you think Silvio has hit rock-bottom, the bottom drops out. Now he has defended the horrific Russian clampdown in Chechnya. Fucking bastard. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3248995.stm

"War on Terrorism"

More interesting is that much of the rheotirc now used by the White House and Pentagon sounds much like the rhetoric that came out of Russian officials about Chechnya. Rhetoric they were officially condemned for.

Putin has to be thinking "What a bunch of total fucking hypocrites", and unfortunately, he'd be right.

That having been said Berlusconi is an assbag. Nuff said.
