Iranian lawmakers will decide next week whether a senior figure in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a target of U.S., European Union and U.N. sanctions, will become the country’s oil minister – a position that would elevate him to the presidency of the OPEC oil cartel at a time of global economic uncertainty.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday nominated Brig. Gen. Rostam Ghasemi as oil minister, filling a post Ahmadinejad himself unsuccessfully sought to take over earlier this year in a move that brought criticism from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s camp.

Wholley Mackerel!
That guy feel from the very top of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, then fell in a pile of @@@@ face first.
MAN! If someone knocked at your door and when you opened it, you saw that, how badly would you freak out? On a serious note, can't we get the Israeli's to assassinate him? If obama wasn't the president and so intent on throwing Israel under the bus (so as to ingratiate himself with Muslims), Israel would gladly do it. Now, all we can count on is $150 a barrel oil (or more) from the countries that obama thinks are "misunderstood" and like us a lot.
