Mr Prodi called a special cabinet meeting after several parties in his centre-left coalition opposed continuing with the deployment of 1,900 troops in Afghanistan and plans to expand a US airbase in Vicenza in northern Italy.
It seems that Italy's government is rather US hostile. First the CIA operatives, now this.

Also, Denmark and UK is pulling troops out of Iraq. Is USA losing international backing?
