Total Ready to Boost Cooperation with Iran.

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- A senior official from France's giant oil company 'Total' here on Sunday voiced the company's firm determination to bolster cooperation with Iran.

From FARS news:

Speaking during a meeting with the chairman and vice-chairman of the Iranian parliament's Energy Commission, Director of Total's Exploration and Production Department reiterated his company's policy to continue expansion of cooperation with Iran. He described Iran as an ancient country with an age-old civilization, and reminded the long cooperation background between Total and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).


The official further underlined Total's resolve and full preparedness to increasingly expand cooperation with Iran despite all the external pressures exerted - specially by the US - on companies willing to cooperate with Iran in the energy sector.

For his part, chairman of Iranian parliament's Energy Commission Kamal Daneshyar pointed to Total's good performance and background in cooperating with Iran's oil and gas projects despite external pressures, and expressed the hope that the two sides' cooperation would further boost through the company's increased participation and investment in Iranian projects.

Also during the same meeting, the vice-chairman of the Iranian parliament's Energy Commission Mohsen Yahyavi mentioned impenetrability to political pressures, competitive prices, employment of Iranian experts and attention and care for Iran's religions and cultural values and sanctities as among the main factors playing an effective role in the continuation and bolstering of the two sides' cooperation.

Now this is a twist as Bush in cornered in his lies the Middle East has put their differences aside and started working together. Maybe their is be a holiday for the Middle East to celebrate George W. Bush as the man who helped that happen. Cheney would end up broke and really have medical problems. Just think one evil man who brought so much chaos to the world made world leaders act on peace against his evil acts. Move over Hitler there's a new evil doer in the world.
