Brit ambassador to Italy think al Qaeda wants to elect the man who is defeating them

Melanie Phillips:

The madness continues to escalate. The British ambsassador to Italy, Sir Ivor Roberts, has been outed for having said: ‘If anyone is ready to celebrate the re-election of Bush it is al-Qaeda’. It rates alongside the infamous remark by the French ambassador to Britain that Israel was a ‘shitty little country’ as a revelation, not so much of one diplomat’s maladroit absence of diplomacy but the corrupted mindset of a country’s foreign policy establishment. Indeed, as the Times reported, the ambassador revealed his true agenda by adding that the Jews were behind it all. The Corriere della Serra 'also quoted the ambassador saying, at the conference near Siena, that the Bush Administration was subject to “conditioning” and “pressure” from Israel and “the Jewish lobby”.

Phillips goes on to attack the latest revisionist history tht there was no terrorism in Iraq before the war. The simple anser is that the terrorist were part of the government that held power by terrorising its citizes. You can still buy videos of government terrorism--cutting out tongues, throwing people off of building, putting people into plastic shredders, not to mention using poison gas on its citizens.
