Kerry Insults Italian Military
All Italy is abuzzing today about a Kerry gaffe aired last night on HBO in Italy. As reported in today's Corriere della Sera in Italy, Defense Minister Antonio Martino criticized John Kerry for an incredible remark that the conditions of the Iraqi Army were so bad that even the Italian Army could kick their a**es. Martino remarked that Kerry, "instead of saying what he thinks, should think about what he says." Several prominant Americans have insulted the post-WWII Italian military for no reason, including an ambassador on a tour of their navy in a skiff, who asked whether they should instead be taking a glass-bottomed boat. The Italians are very sensitive on the subject.
