Ay-Peeee. No, he wasn't killed. Suuuuure it was just an unfortunately-timed "gas leak"

#7  Whoa, MOUD'S first day as quasi-Oil Minister + a refinery weirdly-n-mysteriously-but-only-coincidentally blows up into vapor-reenies???

"GAS LEAK(S)" = GAS FARTS?

versus

* NEWS KERALA > IRAN TO OPERATE NUCLEAR PLANT [Busheshr]DESPITE QUAKE WARNINGS, ala Japan's "Fukushima" Crisis.

* TOPIX > WIKILEAKS: US WARNED PAKISTAN ABOUT GIVING [Oil-Gas = Energy led]FOOTHOLD TO IRAN.

Just one good one may be enough for Iran proxies to turn PAK = another LEBANON, SYRIA???

versus

* TOPIX/PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > OBAMA: NO NUKES [NucWeapons] FOR IRAN.

Evar!

#4  Mitch H.: It would probably be worse for him if rumors began that he was the Iranian equivalent of an "evil eye".

The last king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III, just happened to have some bad luck incidents during his reign, and a rumor got started, in short order, anywhere he showed up, nobody else would. Even Mussolini refused to go anywhere near him.

It didn't help matters that he was something of an indecisive schmuck.

#3  The iran-terrorist-entity has to import 60% of their gasoline from the saud-terrorist-entity. Less than a dozen 500-pounders could destroy the entire refining capacity of both of those cess-pools. Gee, what prevents us from doing that?

#2  Given the current cat-fight & accusations of "sorcery", I'd look closer to home among the ranks of Khamenei's faction unthrilled with the rumors that Shortround's grooming a Mahdi in the wings to overthrow the Supreme Leader.

#1  Hey shortround, check out Hamas-Fatah. Some disgruntled terrorist didn't get his check in the mail from you.
