guess he kinda forgot the italian govt INVITED us there.

Actually, many in Italy wasn't convinced of the invited nature of the La
Maddalena base; the trouble was aggravated by a secret treaty concerning
this, and because of this the Parliament was never involved in this
decision, so many want to know exactly what is behind, and many suspect the
La maddalena affair was IMPOSED by the USA.

This, in a blurb, the political issue there, and this must suffice.

Best regards from Italy.
