Obama admits US involvement in 1953 Iran coup to get oil control back
 

"In the middle of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian government," Obama said in a keynote speech to the Muslim world in Cairo.

It was the first time a serving US president had publicly admitted American involvement in the coup.

The US Central Intelligence Agency, with British backing, masterminded the coup after Mossadegh nationalised the oil industry, run until then by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.

Just so you know who eventually helped the current Iranian idiot to power.. thanks again USA! :disgust

who gives a flying fuck

old news since 1953

Um yeah this is common knowledge. And the whole reason we have had problem in Iran since then is because of that. Before we fucked it up Iran actually had a democracy and wasn't controled by religous zealouts. That kind of shit is exactly what Ron Paul was talking about. We stick our noses into shit we shouldn't then are shocked when people hate us. Then we play the victim. Think about it this way. If Muslims hate "freedom" so much then how come there hasn't been an attack on Canada? Oh wait they mind their own fucking business.

blowback is a fucking bitch. We are now fucking up Pakistan god help us.

classic case of damned if you do and damned if you don't :2 cents:

Obama the puppet! WOOT!

same shit different pile

yeah everyone knew it already though

Obama is the man

The United States played a role in the overthrow of many democratically elected governments.

List them please?

Iran, Guatemala, Panama just to name a few.

Lol

this is what everyone knew for decades...
50 yrs from now they will admit that Iraq was also couse of Oil and Afganistan couse of Heroin control,lol :)

yup:thumbsup

If Iraq was about oil...... Why would we have invaded Iraq? Why wouldn't we have invaded Canada? Or Mexico?

Take some time to figure out where our oil comes from....

And if oil played no factor then why in the "run up" to the war were our leaders claiming
we would rebuild Iraq from the oil revenue?

Why would we have any revenue from Iraqi oil?

hahaha!!!:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Chile, Argentina, Uruguay to name some others.

Bolivia, Laos, Brazil, Congo, Haiti to name a few more.

You couldn't attack Canada, because we'd just whoop your ass again like we did in 1812. And you can't attack Mexico, because then you won't have cheap labour and migrant workers for the fields. :winkwink:

I am sure the US government would be very interested in your crystal ball future telling services.
