Titolo: [GAFFES] Non solo Berlusconi

Il nostro Presidente del Consiglio negli ultimi anni si e' dato
gagliardamente da fare per accumulare un prestigioso record di gaffes e
passi falsi tanto a livello nazionale che internazionale; ma ultimamente
la sua leadership globale pare essere insidiata dai francesi.
Pochi mesi fa uno Chirac fuori di se' si lancio' in alcune battute di
pessimo gusto sulla cucina degli inglesi.
Ora e' il turno del ministro degli esteri Douste-Blazy, protagonista di
uno sconcertante episodio al museo dell'Olocausto di Yad Vashem
(Gerusalemme).
Durante la visita, mentre osservava una mappa che indicava le localita'
d'Europa nelle quali erano state distrutte delle comunita' ebraiche,
apparentemente perplesso dalla mancanza di tale distruzione in un certo
settore della mappa, chiese ai suoi accompagnatori se nell'Olocausto
fossero stati uccisi anche ebrei britannici. Tra il fragoroso rumore di
dozzine di sopracciglia che si alzavano contemporaneamente qualcuno
trovo' la forza di rispondere: "Ma, Signor Ministro, l'Inghilterra non
fu conquistata dai nazisti".
Ma il Ministro non si fece fregare, e prontamente soggiunse: "Si certo,
ma non ci furono ebrei deportati dall'Inghilterra?".
I corpi diplomatici di Francia e Israele stanno naturalmente cercando di
far passare sotto silenzio l'imbarazzantissimo episodio, ma Haaretz
indaga:

Sara' stata una Gaffe, ma la risposta alla sua domanda e' si, ci
furono, visto che una parte dell'Inghilterra FU occupata.

The occupied Channel Islands became involved in the deportation of
Jews, including the three Jewish woman in Guernsey who were handed over
by police to the German authorities. The women sent to Auschwitz, 900
miles away, were murdered.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jim Bergerac era dunque uno sporco collaborazionista?

continuare col traffico di schiavi.

Bush Waives Saudi Trafficking Sanctions

(09-21) 18:40 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --
President Bush decided Wednesday to waive any financial sanctions on
Saudi Arabia, Washington's closest Arab ally in the war on terrorism,
for failing to do enough to stop the modern-day slave trade in
prostitutes, child sex workers and forced laborers.
In June, the State Department listed 14 countries as failing to
adequately address trafficking problems, subjecting them all to
possible sanctions if they did not crack down.
Of those 14, Bush concluded that Bolivia, Jamaica, Qatar, Sudan, Togo
and the United Arab Emirates had made enough improvements to avoid any
cut in U.S. aid or, in the case of countries that get no American
financial assistance, the barring of their officials from cultural and
educational events, said Darla Jordan, a State Department spokeswoman.
Cambodia and Venezuela were not considered to have made similar
adequate improvements. But Bush cleared them nonetheless to receive
limited assistance, for such things as combatting trafficking. In the
case of Venezuela - which has had a tense relationship with the
United States under the leadership of President Hugo Chavez, one of
Latin America's most outspoken critics of U.S. foreign policy - Bush
also allowed funding for strengthening the political party system and
supporting electoral observation.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, Ecuador and Kuwait - another U.S. ally
in the Middle East - were given a complete pass on any sanctions,
Jordan said. Despite periodic differences, oil-rich Saudi Arabia and
the United States have a tight alliance built on economic and military
cooperation.
That left Myanmar, Cuba and North Korea as the only nations in the list
of 14 barred completely from receiving certain kinds of foreign aid.
The act does not include cutting off trade assistance or humanitarian
aid, Jordan said.
The White House statement offered no explanation of why countries were
regarded differently. Jordan also could not provide one.
As many as 800,000 people are bought and sold across national borders
annually or lured to other countries with false promises of work or
other benefits, according to the State Department. Most are women and
children.

children.
E guarda caso questo avviene pure in Italia, senza che vi siano pero'
degli emeriti coglioni che vogliano implicare lo stato in tali traffici.
