1/27/2003 - OGI: Cairo) France and Russia have been warned they must support the US military invasion and occupation of Iraq if they want acess to Iraqi oilfields in a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. According to a report in today's Tehran Times, US Senator Richard Lugar, a leading member of the Bush administration and Republican Party chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Russia and France "must be ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in any US-led military intervention" if they want a share of Iraqi oil. The paper quoted Lugar as saying that Paris and Moscow oil companies will be deprived of Iraqi oil and have no share in the country's resources if they refuse to join in the US war to oust Hussein. It noted that both the Russian Duma and the French parliament have both expressed opposition to a US military attack on Iraq. This story caan be found at:

Of course France and Russia combined with EU boast almost a quarter of the Worlds oil and gas reserves. And both countries have a good relationship with Iran. This man tries his best never to mention the 10% of the worlds Oil which is "rightfully" North American. He though will be around for a long long time. Some of the other frontline media TV faces are going to be sidelined soon. But Mr Lugar they like.
Do you have any thoughts on his opposite number of the Democrats on that commitee? Mr un-american Chris.
