Senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards Commander Set To Become Next President Of OPEC…
Thanks to Obama’s insane domestic drilling policies we’re more dependent than ever on OPEC oil.
(Guardian) — A senior commander of Iran’s revolutionary guards, who is subject to comprehensive international sanctions, has been nominated as the country’s oil minister, a position that currently includes the presidency of Opec.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, sent a list of four ministers, including Rostam Ghasemi, commander of the revolutionary guards’ Khatam al-Anbia military and industrial base, to the parliament for approval, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
Should the parliament confirm Ghasemi’s nomination next week, the commander, who is targeted by US, EU and Australian sanctions, will be automatically appointed as head of Opec, giving the revolutionary guards access to an influential international platform.
Under Iran’s constitution the president is in charge of appointing cabinet ministers, who take office after the approval of parliament.

Can’t we just nuke them now and get it over with?
That outstretched hand…. Just got shoved up Obamas ass….
Caution…. Dumb Power…. At Work
everything is going as planned, bring America to it’s knees.
Maybe by running OPEC, the Iranians can look at the bottom of all the oil wells for the Iman Mahdi.
And all we need to do to ruin OPEC is to drill at home.
Just modify GATT to eliminate the special exemption for OPEC from the general prohibition on monopolistic cartels.
Next time they cut off our oil we should cut off their food entirly in other words CUT OFF OUR CRUDE AND WE,LL CUT OFF YOUR FOOD
Maybe this is a good thing and a blessing in disguise. because this thug will intimidate OPEC and probably tell them not to sell oil to us.
SO OK. Then we’ll have to start drilling at home and Alaska and look to nuclear power and solar power for energy.
So then the Muslim oil theocracies will STARVE because the west won’t but their oil. Remember we have 200 years of ingenuity and advances and scientific background to help us while they have been kissing the sand for those years.
