DO IT AGAIN BERLUSCONI

Berlusconi kissing Kaddafi's hands full of blood and oil March 2010



I did higlight yesterday the blindness of Italian foreign policy towards the Mediterranean, by Berlusconi and his servant the Minister for Affairs as I call him.

Today they did it again....anf this towards Kaddafi. Their lightness may be explained by the fact that, according to many prostitutes, Berlusconi would have explained to them that he learned the Bunga Bunga from Khaddafi himself.

So there is crisis in Libya and here are some declarations:

USA : The Department of State states his "great concern" and requests the "immediate stop to the violence against demonstrators".°

EU : Catherine Ashton declares " We appeal to moderation and we plea for an immediate stop to violence"°

France : The Minister for European Affairs declares that the repression is "unacceptable and tottly out of proportion"°

Italy : The Minister for Affairs with his suave voice, Mr. Frattini, stated that Italy will not agree with any EU declaration criticizing the Libyan leader * . The "national reconciliation process must start in a peaceful mode to lead to a democratic constitution: this would be the main objective".^

Apart from the fact that once again the Italian diplomacy is out of touch with reality, it tries a cover up for one of the worst dictators left in the world (Berlusconi's concept of freedom) and is behind what is happening, as it was for Tunisia and Egyps. But the priority are the laws to protect Berlusconi's ass, with the blessing of the catholic Frattini.

BERLUSCONI'S WISE VIEWS ABOUT MEDITERRANEAN LEADERS

On 4 February 2011, Mr Berlusconi, possibly well advised by his Foreign Minister for Affairs with a suave voice, asked about the situation in Egypt, stated :"I wish that there be a transition to a more democratic regime without a rupture with a president like M. Mubarak who is recognized by the entire western world, starting from the USA, as the wisest man of and the reference for the entire Middle East".
Mubarak flew out from Cairo on 11 February.

On 19 February, questioned as to whether he had been in touch with his best friend Kaddafi, he replied : "No, I did not talk to him. There is an evolving situation and therefore I do not take the liberty of disturbing anyone".
The day after, it was announced that there had been at least 220 death people, killed by Kaddafi's militia. With an evolving situation, there will be many more and only at the end of the carnage, M. Berlusconi will likely call his friend to congratulate him for being still in power.

Switzerland : what is that ?

According to the very serious Swiss diplomatic circles, Colonel al-Gaddafi will propose at the next UN General Assembly to dismantle Switzerland and split it among Italy, France and Germany. All this because his son Hannibal and his wife had been arrested by the Geneva Police (whose diplomatic tact is the exact opposite of that of the Swiss Foreign Ministry).

Indeed Sarko and Berlusca have been very nice to the Colonel. What will he ask Germany in exchange ?

And if the arrest of his son calls for the wiping out of a country, what should happen to a country whose leader is responsible for the killing of hundreds of innocent people in two airline bombings ?

But al-Gaddafi has oil, Switzerland had only the secret bank accounts which are being dismantled. And it is not even an EU member (and only a recent UN member).

Democrats

He (Berlusca) did it again: a couple of years ago he had declared that Putin was a real democrat. A couple of weeks ago, in launching a new satellite TV channel he owns, declared in Tunisia that President Ben Ali, well known for his repression of any opposition, is a "sincere democrat".

Possibly his press agents and his little dog Frattini, so-called Minister for Foreign Affairs, had forgotten to draw his attention to the 2008 Human Rights Watch Periodic Review of Tunisia which said, among others, " The government uses the threat of terrorism and religious extremism as a pretext to crack down on peaceful dissent. There are continuous and credible reports of torture and ill-treatment being used to obtain statements from suspects in custody. Sentenced prisoners also face deliberate ill-treatment." ( http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2008/04/06/universal-periodic-review-tunisia ).

Who will be the next dictator crowned by Berlusconi as a real democrat? All the bets are for al Gaddafi Berlusconi just honoured with a visit and the sending of the
Italian Air Force acrobatic team.

Berlusconi and al-Gaddafi

Indeed Berlusconi is very special even in the choice of his friends: GW, Putin, al-Gaddafi, escorts, well known Mafia members,....

Quite lonely in his choices, and possibly alone among the western "civilized" (but can Berlusconi's Italy still be called so ?) he will be in Libya for the 40th anniversary of the ascent to power of the Colonel.

Definitely, he will never learn from his other friend Sarkozy: had he followed the latter's example, instead of going to Tripoli he would have sent Noemi, his young friend, or one of his usual escorts. Sarko managed to get the Bulgarian nurses released by sending his former wife Cecilia, Berlusconi could have got some oil in exchange for Noemi.
