East European leaders are hitting back at French President Jacques Chirac for his sharp criticism of their support for the U.S. stand on possible military action against Iraq.isnt pigeon holing fun?
The French leader sharply criticized the East Europeans, calling them ill-behaved in backing the U.S. determination to disarm Iraq by force if necessary.
Poland's Deputy Prime Minister Adam Rotfeld told public radio that France has the right to its opinion, while Poland can decide what is in its own good. Czech Deputy Prime Minister Alexandr Vondr called Mr. Chirac's comments an apparent effort to bully European Union candidate states.
thanx,
