Remarks by the President and Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi in 
Prairie Chapel Ranch Crawford, Texas 
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you for coming. I'm honored to host
my friend, the Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi. It's such
an honor for us to welcome -- I say "us," Laura welcomes him, as well
as I, to our ranch. 
We welcome the Prime Minister as a good friend, and he represents a
country which is a strong ally to America. Welcome. 
THE PRIME MINISTER: Thank you. 
THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank him for being such a gracious host
during our trips overseas, and we're really pleased to return the
hospitality. ...
PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for
hosting me and thank you for inviting me here to visit a country which
I love very much, to talk about our common concerns, that is freedom,
democracy and justice and development. 
Thank you very much for welcoming me in your home, making me feel as a
member of your family. Please let me say so, this is again a chance
for me to talk to you and tell you about the gratitude I have, the
gratitude I, personally, have, my country has for you, for a country
which allowed us to enjoy our freedom and our welfare and well-being
and to enjoy all of this.

Q Mr. President, a mortar shell has hit the U.S. embassy in Liberia.
The U.S. has sent a contingent of Marines there to protect its
interests. What about the civilians being killed? There were some
civilians dragged in front of the embassy this morning. Sir, my
question is, can the U.S. stand by and watch the violence spiral out
of control, and what about sending U.S. peacekeepers? 
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you're right, we just sent a group of troops in
to protect our interests, and we're concerned about our people in
Liberia. We'll continue to monitor the situation very closely. We're
working with the United Nations to affect policy necessary to get the
cease fire back in place. We are working with ECOWAS to determine when
they will be prepared to move in the peacekeeper troops that I have
said we'll be willing to help move in to Liberia. We're monitoring the
situation very carefully.
sunto: prima difendiamo i nostri interessi poi eventualmente si
vede... per chi crede che gli usa aiutino l'Africa...
Q The question, if possible, could be answered by both of you -- that
is, the situation in Iraq....
Bush parla per un pò... 
Q Thank you, Mr. President. 
THE PRESIDENT: Do you want to answer that, sir? 
PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: No, no, I completely share what the
President just said. 
THE PRESIDENT: Then why don't you ask the Prime Minister a question so
he can answer a question. 
Q Mr. President. ...

 "... my friend, the Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi".
Notiamo un dettaglio nemmeno troppo secondario: il figlio di papa' da'  a
Berlusconi il benvenuto come "primo ministro d'Italia" (carica che peraltro
in Italia non esiste) e non come presidente del Consiglio europeo, veste
nella quale il Cavalier Sylvio si trovava la'.

Fo debita ammenda. In effetti il Cavaliere non era laggiu' in veste
ufficiale di presidente di turno dell'Unione. Cio' non impedisce di sperare
che abbia cercato di parlare da europeo oltre che da italiano: vedasi in
proposito la parte conclusiva dell'articolo che trascrissi nel mio post "Un
europeo (speriamo) in Texas".
