Headless Chicken = Italy

Telegraph: Reports the Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has called for NATO to halt military action in Libya as to allow aid to get thought to the people. I recalled what an old International History Lecture told his Undergraduates, when discussing World War Two, it was not the Germans in front of him that worried him, it was the Italians at the behind, you simple cant trust them, by the way that was his opinion folks, but because the Allies of the US, UK and France are in a bit of a tight spot in Libya at the moment; air power alone will never win in Libya; the Italians after a few missteps want to do a runner. The Emperor Augustus must be turning in his grave.
