Italy: Premier Berlusconi ready to speak to Bush

China Daily: Berlusconi to speak to Bush about death of Italian agent in Iraq
At last Premier Silvio Berlusconi is ready to speak to US President George W. Bush about the death of an Italian intelligence agent in Iraq, according to today's reports. This is after the Italian government said it was not signing off the U.S. version of the killings of a secret service person tasked with saving a reporter’s life

Bush was in Rome to meet with him during the funeral of Pope John Paul II. Yet Berlusconi only provided a few minutes, about a half hour, to speak with Bush.

He didn’t want to deal with him. And obviously, it is another ally who refuses to buy into U.S. rhetoric.

Will Italy continue to support U.S. global economic and security efforts?

Only time will tell.
