50 ways to lose a coalition

Posted by: Hammer / 11:58 AM

Italy starts the withdrawal of its 3,000 troops from Iraq in September. Cheney oughta remind Berlusconi that the insurgency is in its last throes. Again.

Let the Spain comparisons begin:

His foreign minister, Gianfranco Fini, had most recently indicated that there would be no movement until early 2006.

Yesterday's announcement was bound to prompt criticism that Mr Berlusconi was aiming to deter Islamist terrorists from striking at Italy next.

...Mr Calderoli added: "The moment has come to start thinking of our own interests." His remark prompted scornful disavowals from several of Mr Berlusconi's other supporters, one of whom said a withdrawal from Iraq would mean "fleeing in the face of terror".

Two different groups claiming affiliation to al Qaeda have warned of attacks on Italy within the past 24 hours.

The U.S. and U.K. cannot let Iraq become a failed state, but how long must we wait for true leadership? How long must we wait for a plan to secure the peace in Iraq?
