Your Liberal Skirt is showing. They held our hostages for 444 days. They used psych. torture on them all the time. They used to take a gun to their heads with no bullets saying this is the end...............and pulled empty chambers on their heads.
To attack an Embassy and hold our people hostage is an ACT OF WAR. And they didn't kill them because they KNEW WE WOULD GO TO WAR OVER IT....................The THREAT OF WAR KEPT THEM ALIVE............PERIOD.
And you ignore that the Iranians pander to all sides of the equation............and ignore that the IED tech killed many of our people.
LOL...on "this" thread my "Liberal Skirt is showing"...does that mean you will save "totalitarian killer" for another thread?
SOOOO...Iran used "torture" on Americans, but America using the same methods DIDN'T use "torture" at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo... your retarded brain is showing...
Why did Iran take American hostages? Is there anything America did that caused it?
We supported a leader who didn't rule my Religion an the Islamic doctrine and rules. Imagine a time that women their went to the beach with BIKINI'S..........................OH MY ******* GOD...............Now they get the Burkas..........Religion rules................the 12th Imam prophecies.......................and Islam will dominate the world...........................
Yeah............we made a mistake back in 1979...........We should have done what we did in 1953 and make end it right there................instead of allowing it to grow.
History 101: How the CIA Overthrew Iranâs First Democratically Elected Government
March 24, 2015
Presently, thereâs a lot of talk in Washington DC about how the nation of Iran is a threat to US national security, and that its being run by âextremist Islamic Mullahsâ, and how the country is ânot democraticâ.
Not surprisingly, very few Americans are actually aware that once upon a time, their own government had killed-off Iranâs first ever democratically elected government, headed by Mohammad Mosaddegh (or Mosaddeq). He was the elected as Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953, until his government was overthrown in a
coup dâĂ©tat orchestrated by the CIA. After the coup, US and British interests quickly installed their own unelected monarch, The Shah, who ruled the country until he was eventually replaced, again by the
US and British intelligence agencies, with the theocrat, the Ayatollah Khomeini, in what became known as the âIslamic Revolutionâ in 1979. Iran has maintained a theocratic council at the head of its government ever since.
Why the coup in the first place? There are many geostrategic reasons why the American and the British did not want any secular, independent democratic nation states in the region, and neither did Saudi Arabia. Those same reason extend until today, but one of the central motivations for enacting an overthrow of Iran at that time was that Iranâs Mosaddegh had designs on nationalizing Iranâs oil industry. Over sixty years ago, and with the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) risking losing its grip on Iranâs burgeoning energy sector, the coup happened, and then in the following year in 1954, the company was re-incorporated and thus became the global powerhouse we know today, the British Petroleum Company (BP). Itâs one of many examples of how the CIA and MI6 âintelligenceâ agencies acted not on behalf of âfreedom and democracyâ, but on behalf of transnational corporations in order to preserve Anglo-American âinterestsâ.
