THE AXIS OF WEASELS MUST BE UNRAVELING, because Jacques Chirac is responding with his trademark bluster and whining:

BRUSSELS, Belgium – French President Jacques Chirac launched a withering attack Monday on eastern European nations who signed letters backing the U.S. position on Iraq, warning it could jeopardize their chances of joining the European Union (news – web sites).

“It is not really responsible behavior,” he told a news conference. “It is not well brought-up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet.”

Don’t they understand that the European Union is supposed to be led by France? Heh.
