ATHENS (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac, who outraged east Europeans in February by slamming their support for the U.S.-led war on Iraq, warned the new EU members on Wednesday to do more to find common European stands....

Maybe he could form an "Irrelevant Blowhards" support group with Clowntoon.

[Howlin]

Be more like us? Oh, yes, I can see how that would look so appealing to the new joins.

NOT.

[TomGuy]

Chirac, sit down and shut up....or they might apply for statehood...and then you really would be squawking or croaking.

[Diogenesis]

LA FRANCE - the disgrace of Europe, but champion of weasels everywhere.

[isrul]

Chirac must go!

[headsonpikes]

Hey, you're killing us dial-up folks with the multiple photos.

[meadsjn]

Chirac should take note of how the Romanians dispatched their own communist tyrants.

[colorado tanker]

So, now the East Europeans have to stop economic growth, import millions of Arab immigrants and eat smelly cheese?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Did he issue his "warning" before or after his phone call to Bush?

[Cheapskate]

"I love it" another pain in the *SS for the new world order"
it sort of makes me wonder though. Is old europe pi$$ed enough to show their true colors and roll the tanks?

warned the new EU members

I bet they're really scared

[McGavin999]

The eastern european countries that sided with the US are completely vindicated by the outcome. Watching the Iraqi people celebrate their freedom must have made their hearts swell with pride that they were a part of freeing another people.

These are tough folks and I have no worry about them being dominated by the insufferable french. Besides, the American people won't forget who stood with us.

[Movemout]

What? No warning for the UK, Spain, or Portugal? His condescending warning to the New Europe will only irritate freedom loving people who understand now what freedom means. France has forgotten what freedom means, can't control rampant Islamaniacs in their own country, and are suffering from the spontaneous boycott of French products by freedom loving Americans. Chirac's arrogance is only exceeded by his criminal stupidity.

"Be more like us?"

Yeah, that's probably what they don't want. After years of domination by socialist Russia, I wonder how being dominated by the socialist EU (with France at the helm) looks to them. Not so great, I bet.
