Chirac Attac!
Chirac signals flexibility on iraq? if a gymnist were this flexible, they'd be forced to give up the rings at age 8.

On other issues, Chirac:

• Urged the Bush administration to "relaunch" its "road map" for peace in the Middle East by holding an international conference.

• Said France sought to exert influence through the European Union. The idea that France could act as a counterweight to U.S. power, Chirac said, is "absurd."

not absurd as your flexibility. since when did france care about sovereignty for the nations it invades/attacks on a regular basis? (er...coite d'ivoire, the congo, south pacific islanders, etc). what a joker that chirac is.
