Bush congratulates Prodi for election win in Italy

U.S. President George Bush called Romano Prodi on Friday to congratulate him on his election victory over Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the White House said. Bush told Prodi that he looked forward to working with him and to seeing him soon, according to White House spokesman Scott McClellan. "Italy is a valued ally and a good partner," McClellan said. Bush also called Berlusconi, who had been a staunch supporter of the Iraq war and dispatched Italian troops to join the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.
