"10,100,1000 Nassiryias"

Italians have yesterday buried their fallen soldiers massacred while on duty in Nassiryia, Iraq. Emotional scenes were seen throughout the country and the ceremony was broadcasted live on national television. It is the second time that Italian troops belonging to the Carabinieri forces have fallen prey to the hands of muslim terrorists in Nassiryia.

To add insult to injury, Italians had to witness disgraceful scenes yesterday during the May Day Parade in Milan. A group of anarco-communists have once again derided the Carabinieri wishing them more losses in Iraq by shouting the disgraceful chant of "10, 100, 1000 Nassiryias!"

Needless to say, members of Mr Prodi’s coalition have distanced themselves from the shameful perpetrators...

‘Til next time…
