I could give a forthright opinion here but wouldn't want to have to infract myself

Italy's foreign minister Giulio Terzi has asked Britain to provide the "utmost clarity" around a failed bid to rescue a Briton and Italian in Nigeria.
He has demanded details "in the next few hours", an Italian news agency said, after accusations the UK did not inform Italy about the planned mission.

Something about how the good minister can stick his demands where the sun don't shine?

Rgr that...better to have tried and failed than to do nothing at all.

The Italian special forces were actually involved in the attempted rescue of the hostages in Nigeria. They were in Sokoto when the first shot was fired, they were in a nuclear bunker a mile beneath Rome when the second one was fired.

When things went bad wouldn't they have swapped sides?

Unfortunately it reminda me of a situation where it was the Britsh doing the moaning about what another government was doing and saying and about the consultation between them not happening, the bastards even still spewed a pile of crap well after the event.
Which means a comment like....Something about how the good minister can stick his demands where the sun don't shine? ......should be showed right up the passage of the person making it.

Unless of course on another angle he is willing to say the American government should shut up whenever it is American citizens involved
