The Normal Guy.

President Bush is often misunderstood by those who do not know him personally and are unaware of his sensitive side, Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said in a television interview on Sunday.

…

“On the contrary, we are defending ourselves and trying to root out terrorists from their hideouts. That’s what happened in Afghanistan and that is what Bush has said is the case in Iraq.”

If we didn’t know it before, I think it would be safe to say that Berlusconi is a good friend.

Berlusconi dismissed concerns about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, saying the former regime of Saddam Hussein could easily have destroyed or exported them and, in any case, the arrest of Saddam was justification enough.

“The real weapon of mass destruction in Iraq was Saddam Hussein — and he was found.”

Did you get that? “The real weapon of mass destruction in Iraq was Saddam Hussein”. Enough said.
