  ISTANBUL, Turkey &#151; French President Jacques Chirac said Monday that our President went "too far" by saying the European Union should admit Turkey, and he added that Bush commenting on Turkish-EU relations was like a French leader commenting on U.S.-Mexican ties. "If President Bush really said that in the way that I read, then not only did he go too far, but he went into territory that isn't his," Chirac said. "It's a bit like if I told the United States how they should manage their relations with Mexico.
" Bush met with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara before attending Monday's NATO summit in Istanbul, and he pledged to fight for Turkey's membership in the European Union. In a speech Bush made in Ireland before traveling to Turkey, Bush said: "Turkey is a proud nation that successfully blends a European identity with the Islamic traditions. " "As Turkey meets the EU standards for membership, the European Union should begin talks that will lead to full membership for the Republic of Turkey," Bush said.
On my Point I think that Chirac has had his say and doesn't know his hind end from a hole in the ground! I think the French are rude and ignorant people and they are the downfall of peace. Basically wanting the terrorist to win the battle, over all much like the bull Chirac spreads. I think enough is enough and we aren't going to take any more and the time is here to say kiss my a-- France .
