Italian Prime Minister Sylvio Berlusconi announced Friday that the 3000 Italian troops in Iraq are to be withdrawn , starting this September.

In respononse to the imminent punishment of his country for its participating in the illegal invasion, destruction and murder of Iraq and its people, brought about by Italy and it fellow Criminals of the Coalition, Prime Minister Berlusconi has announced the commencement of the withdrawal of Italian troops from Iraq.

Following the London attack on Thursday, which has left European Intelligence Services clueless, it is now ever more obvious that there is no way to prevent further attacks of this nature in countries participating in the barbourous invasion of Iraq. Italy like Spain before them has finally chosen the right option for its own good.

Now Denmark whose soldiers and Intelligences Services in Iraq have disgraced themselves by their mistreatment of civilians and prisoners alike must now follow suit or face a terrible outcome.

On Tuesday the Danish army admitted it was investigation some of its own members and particularly a female intelligence officer, Anne Hommel, for torturing Iraqi people. She and other officers engaged in US style torture, which included among other abuses leaving "prisoners" in "torture positions" without water for many hours.

These so called "prisoners" are in fact Iraqi citizens who have been kidnapped by illegal invaders without legal justification. These coalition criminals have no right to take "prisoners" in a country that is not theirs, no more than a burglar in your home would have any right to take you prisoner.

The report on the Danish torture is due out next month and hopefully it will be accompanied by an announcement that their forces are to leave Iraq.

103 Iraqi MP's have asked the occupation forces to leave ,so perhaps they may finally take the hint. This type of democracy is not desired by anybody .

"This is American justice. This is American democracy. And those of you who are familiar with it know that in America democracy is hypocrisy. Now if i'm wrong put me in jail but if you can't prove that democracy is not a hypocrisy then do not put your hands on me. Democracy is hypocrisy. If democracy means freedom then why arn't our people free? If democracy means justice then why don't we have justice? If democracy means equality then why don't we have equality".
