and i dont mean read bullshit blogs that talk about it, i mean read the ACTUAL documents
The 1953 Iranian coup d'état, on August 19, 1953 (and called the 28 Mordad coup d'état in Iran), was the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency.[1] The crushing of Iran's first democratically elected government launched 25 years of dictatorship under Mohammad-Rezā Shāh Pahlavi, who relied heavily on U.S. weapons to hold on to power until he was overthrown in February 1979.[2] "For many Iranians, the coup demonstrated duplicity by the United States, which presented itself as a defender of freedom but did not hesitate to use underhanded methods to overthrow a democratically elected government to suit its own economic and strategic interests", the Agence France-Presse reported.[3]
The CIA sent Major general Norman Schwarzkopf, Sr. to persuade the exiled Shah to return to rule Iran. Schwarzkopf trained the security forces that would become known as SAVAK to secure the shah's hold on power.[59][60]
Sources disagree over how many victims SAVAK had and how inhumane its techniques were. Writing at the time of the Shah's overthrow, TIME magazine described SAVAK as having "long been Iran's most hated and feared institution" which had "tortured and murdered thousands of the Shah's opponents."[24] Federation of American Scientists (FAS) also found it guilty of "the torture and execution of thousands of political prisoners" and symbolizing "the Shah's rule from 1963-79." The FAS list of SAVAK torture methods included "electric shock, whipping, beating, inserting broken glass and pouring boiling water into the rectum, tying weights to the testicles, and the extraction of teeth and nails." [25] According to a former CIA analyst on Iran,[26][27] Jesse J. Leaf, SAVAK was trained in torture techniques by the CIA. An example of the public image of the SAVAK in Iran as all-pervasive and fear-inducing, is "a much enjoyed joke" during the Pahlavi regime, where an Iranian Muslim is questioned by angels on the first night after his (the Iranian's) death:
According to the history based on documents released to the National Security Archive and reflected in the book Mohammad Mosaddeq and the 1953 Coup in Iran, edited by Mark J. Gasiorowski and Malcolm Byrne, the coup caused long-lasting damage to the U.S. reputation.
In a review of Tim Weiner's Legacy of Ashes, historian Michael Beschloss wrote, "Mr. Weiner argues that a bad C.I.A. track record has encouraged many of our gravest contemporary problems... A generation of Iranians grew up knowing that the C.I.A. had installed the shah," Mr. Weiner notes. "In time, the chaos that the agency had created in the streets of Tehran would return to haunt the United States."[97]
In 2000, the U.S. Secretary of State called the coup a "setback for democratic government" in Iran, saying "It is easy to see now why many Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs."[105]

Except there isn't. Maybe it contradicts a lot of what you hold true, but what I posted are facts. Or are you gonna deny we overthrew Iran's PM, or maybe deny Iran-Contra? Or maybe deny that we ever gave Saddam weapons? Go ahead, amuse me Dive.

Taliban still have Reagan's Stingers - Telegraph
The CIA gave weapons, training, and intelligence to Afghani "Freedom fighters" who became what is today known as the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
Go look up the name Gulbuddin Hekmatyar while you're at it.
By 1988, Osama Bin Laden had created Al Qaeda with the U.S's knowledge. They were too short sighted and didn't look to the future.
Norm Dixon: How Reagan Armed Saddam with Chemical Weapons
While the August 18 NYT article added new details about the extent of US military collaboration with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during Iraq's 1980-88 war with Iran, it omitted the most outrageous aspect of the scandal: not only did Ronald Reagan's Washington turn a blind-eye to the Hussein regime's repeated use of chemical weapons against Iranian soldiers and Iraq's Kurdish minority, but the US helped Iraq develop its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs.
1982, we gave billions to Saddam in weapons and cash to go and kill Iranians. By 1983, we had given Iran weapons to kill Iraqis. Y'know, Iran-Contra.
Heck, when Saddam invaded Kuwait in the early 90's, he was using the weapons we gave him.
Also, in 1953, the CIA overthrew the Prime Minister of Iran and installed the Shah who was one of the most brutal dictators in the future. Heck, that's the whole reason why they took hostages in 1979 and why they hate us today. Along with the fact that we gave the Iraqis weapons to kill them in the 80's.
CIA has a term for this, it's called blowback.

The US Government dealt with the Northern group, not Taliban at all. Not Osama Bin Ladin at all. This is a continuing lie foisted by dumb asses.
How about some REAL evidence.

How is reporting the truth, "Picking on a dead guy"? The article have a fair and accurate protrayal of the events of the meeting. HOw is that "Picking on a dead guy"?
You do not even attempt to dispute the facts in the article.
I give an F+ for the attempt at nonsense. An F+ for failing to find a means to rebut the article.
No, we are no imploding. You just can't handle the truth.
It's always a joy to watch idiots debate really, really complicated GLOBAL political issues.... Y'all make me laugh. Thanks.
