European Parliament urges Russia to leave Georgia European Parliament today adopted a resolution calling on Russia to "honor all its commitments" to withdraw its troops from Georgia in accordance with the six-point, French-brokered ceasefire agreement. The resolution, adopted with 549 votes in favor and 68 against, also "strongly" condemned Russia's recognition of the independence of the two Georgian breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. For its part, the US, which has also condemned Moscow for its actions in Georgia, has sent Vice President Dick Cheney to the region in a show of support for Georgia and other Soviet states, including Azerbaijan and Ukraine. Moscow today said it would wait to see how Cheney assesses the situation on the ground, but accused Washington of provoking instability in the region by encouraging Georgia to restore its military capabilities.

June 17, 2010 www.amazon.com Watch the full testimony: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com In May 1901, William Knox D'Arcy was granted a concession by the Shah of Iran to search for oil, which he discovered in May 1908. This was the first commercially significant find in the Middle East. On 14 April 1909, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) was incorporated as a subsidiary of Burmah Oil Company to exploit this. In 1935, it became the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC). After World War II, AIOC and the Iranian government initially resisted nationalist pressure to revise AIOC's concession terms still further in Iran's favour. But in March 1951, the pro-western Prime Minister Ali Razmara was assassinated. The Majlis of Iran (parliament) elected a nationalist, Mohammed Mossadeq, as prime minister. In April, the Majlis nationalised the oil industry by unanimous vote. The National Iranian Oil Company was formed as a result, displacing the AIOC. The AIOC withdrew its management from Iran, and organised an effective boycott of Iranian oil. The British government - which owned the AIOC - contested the nationalisation at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, but its complaint was dismissed. By spring of 1953, incoming US President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorised the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to organise a coup against the Mossadeq government with support from the British government. On 19 August 1953, Mossadeq was forced from office by the CIA conspiracy, involving the <b>...</b> |

President Barack Obama unveiled plans on Wednesday for a limited expansion of US offshore oil and gas drilling in an effort to win Republican support for new proposals to fight climate change. Opening up parts of the US Atlantic coast, Alaska and possibly offshore Florida to exploration is Obama's latest effort to woo legislators needed to pass a climate bill before mid-term elections in November. Some senior Republicans in Congress called the drilling announcement a step in the right direction but said Obama did not go far enough. Environmental groups and some congressional liberals condemned the plan for endangering wildlife and coastal areas merely to give oil companies more profits. Obama, who needs bipartisan support to pass a bill that would set limits on US greenhouse gas emissions, cautioned that expanding drilling was not a catch-all answer to US energy challenges. "Drilling alone can't come close to meeting our long-term energy needs, and for the sake of our planet and our energy independence, we need to begin the transition to cleaner fuels now," Obama said at Andrews Air Force Base in nearby Maryland. "I know that we can come together to pass comprehensive energy and climate legislation that's going to foster new energy -- new industries, create millions of new jobs, protect our planet, and help us become more energy independent." Obama has made energy security and reducing US reliance on foreign oil a key policy goal, and Republican support for drilling <b>...</b> |
