Title: Obama: first president to admit role in 1953 Iran coup
Post by: 240 is Back on June 04, 2009, 07:48:14 PM
Of course, the Muslim world doesn't need to be told about this, they know all about it, but I'm sure this history is news to the vast majority of Americans.

So I wonder, will this be discussed by the pundits?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/04/obama-a... /

President Obama Thursday became the first president to acknowledge responsibility for the 1953 CIA-led coup that overthrew the elected prime minister of Iran, Mohammed Mossadegh.

Mr. Obama devoted a section of his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo to the "tumultuous history" and long enmity between the United States and Iran and outlined some of each country's historic grievances.

"In the middle of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically-elected Iranian government," Mr. Obama said, alluding to the 1953 coup. Funded and egged on by the CIA, Iranian monarchists removed Mr. Mossadegh - who had nationalized a British-owned oil company. The coup reinstalled Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, an autocratic ruler who was subsequently overthrown in a popular revolution in 1979.

Until Thursday, the most senior U.S. official to express regret for the coup was Madeleine Albright in 2000 when she was secretary of State.

Why do you find it embarassing that a President would acknowledge what the rest of the world already knows?

If anything, I would think the embarassment would come from a President continuing to spew lies and blow smoke up all your asses; ...one who would look you straight in the face and say "We're innocent, ...and they are the evil-doers". THAT's embarassing. Personally, I think that acknowledgement  is going to have alot of currency within the Arab world. Is it so wrong to have a President who can get his way throughout the world, without having to resort to war, destruction, and the creation of animosity against the US? Is that so wrong?

I don't know.....Iranians are'nt Araba's and they hate each other worse then arab/jew or persian/jew....the leader of this country can make his apologies all he wants, but don't for one minute think he's apologizing for me. I could care less. He spreads weakness where ever he goes.

If there were items to be listed that we ought not to take pride in, that episode would have to be on the list.  And what's wrong with marking mistakes?  It's how we grow as individuals, is it not how we should grow as a nation?  If we ignore mistakes isn't that silent approval of repeating them?

Tell you what Hugo, when Iran admits there was a Holocaust, or Turkey admits there was an Armenian genocide- and the rest of the world goes around debasing themselves for past mistakes, I'll gladly stand up and applaud Obama needlessly recounting and apologizing for every single thing America has ever done  ( which is a matter of common knowledge anyway) that has ever resulted in anyone dying in a foreign country.

What legitimate purpose is served by doing this? Besides making America look pathetic and continuing to campaign for President of the World, kissing everyones ass is going to do absolutely nothing to help the United States.

Had the average Iranian not backed the coup or showed less apathy, it never would have worked. The leftists make it sound like a huge deal....and GX makes a great point. We're not getting in touch with our inner lib douche...we're trying to keep our thumb in the dyke of jihadist/extremist wackjobs. Do u honestly think the Iranians and nKoreans and Russians and to some extent the Chinese suddenly decided to do all the crap their doing? AQ just decided to try and take Pakistan? Luckily they're loosing. I think Mumbai didn't have its entended affect and the Paki's were able to shift enough troops to smack them down in Swat.

then again, I can understand why Repubs would be upset.  There party loves to rewrite history before the ink is even dry.

Cheney's recent media blitz is a perfect example.

From the applause and silence during certain parts of the speech by audience, it is clear they did not want to hear certain parts, especially about 9/11 CT theories and holocaust.

2 schools of thought on 911.

Let it happen, or made it happen.

Purposefully ignoring intel to spurn a war you need, as bush probably did, is way diff than wiring that shit up to blow. 

Aug 5 memo was pretty damn clear, as was the allie warnings we got that same day.  All ignored.  This goes beyond 'slacking'.

everything America has done?  Jesus, that would take some serious capacity.  Anyway, he didn't mention anything that isn't common known fact.  I'm sure the part he spoke of, he knew before becoming president.  He didn't say anything we didn't already know.  Hell it's probably been talked about on this board half a dozen times or so.

If the enemy is fueld by hatred and some sense of our pride... and we open up to them and say 'yeah, we did some bad shit and it won't happen again'...

at least some % of the enemy is going to feel pacified and focus their energies on killing each other instead of coming at us.  Can't be a bad thing if the muslim world loves obama - the prez is the face of a country - and if they like him, they like us, which keeps our troops some % safer.

Plus, we alreday know how the old way works.

Again, Obama is trying a new approach.....he's reaching out....but believe me guys, he will open a can of whoop ass really fast if he does not get the cooperation he wants....remember...he said in his speech his FIRST duty is to protect the United States.

I'm not sure, ...it could be my imagination, ...but I swear I think I detected a slight note of hostility & incredulity in his voice. It was like he was stopping short of saying "You guys are on drugs if you think I'm not gonna kick the asses of anyone who dares to attack Americans." I got the impression he was annoyed at even having to spell out his position on terrorism. I'm gonna watch it again just to be sure, ...but I did sense some incredulity in his voice.

We could have dealt with that without invading Europe.

If hitler had been allowed to crush USSR and England (which would have certainly happened without US intervention), we would have had UK and French 16-year olds coming over the CAN and MEX borders with rifles by 1947 or 1948.

he would have used the resources of the vanquished, and we would have eventually lost, as the other great superpowers did.

If Hitler owned that side of the world, trade to us would have dried up via a nice nazi embargo.  it would have meant a slow starve as we were blindsided by invaders.  Plus with the advent of the WMD at that time.... heck, hitler would have been launching Firebomb attacks from MEX and CAN.  His men probably would have had the nuke by 1946 as well...

You have to attack the bully while he's busy fighting 3 other guys, or after he whoops their asses it'll be the bully + 3 enslaved fighters coming at you... shitty odds

Based on History u can make that claim...funny some of us are making the same claim about douchbag muslims. Thats ok 240, if Barry says that we should be in Afghanistan, feel free to back that war now. Barry's speech in Egypt did nothing. the Jews arent giving up any settlements, freedom isn;'t coming to repressive govs like Egypt and SA and new terrorists who hate their own gov and then decide to blame the West, will still be created. Flowery speeches without action, do NOTHING.

Neither are sending more combat troops to Afghanistan nor taking any gitmo prisoners. He gave a speech and Israel isnt gonna give up any settlements.....nKorea doesn't feel threatened by speeches either.

okay..and what action should he take, exactly???...basically it's up to the Israelis and palestinians to make peace....his speech was basically to set up the United States as an honest broker between the two by calling out both sides...

you are simply an Obama hater and if Obama gave you golden toilet paper to wipe your ass with it still wouldn't be enough for you...why not just admit it?

Also...what did Bush, Clinton, Bush the 1st, or Reagan do to make peace between palis and jews? What great plans did they have?..Obama is trying just as they were.

ah....I can think of a few things that happened somewhere ~ 7 months into his administration

Since you mention North Korea how about mentioning the Bush Admins almost complete capitulation in the last few years.

Shit, even right wing nutbag John Bolton pulled no punches with his former boss in this subject:

"The only good news is that there is little opportunity for the Bush administration to make any further concessions in its waning days in office. But for many erstwhile administration supporters, this is a moment of genuine political poignancy. Nothing can erase the ineffable sadness of an American presidency, like this one, in total intellectual collapse."

Barry came in, nK began rocket tests, nuke tests and racheted up their BS. Its barry's show....not Bush..and he's done very little.

Bush used JSOC and the CIA to do alot of things that Barry has stopped or suspended. Never mind that the Egypt speech was ridiculously shallow on policy, he pandered to his audience. He told Israel one thing and now he tells the muslims another. Did Bush really confuse anybody? Certainly not in the muslim world, where anything but strength, is weakness. If Barry was getting anywhere, I'd begrudgly admit it.

I disagree.

If 1% of muslim viewers decide they like the USA now and don't join the jihadist movement, then the speech was a success.

hell, if .0001% of idiots over there stay home, the job for our troops gets easier.  Remember that the leaders of many of these countries are elected, and once the people there start liking USA, they start electing leaders who do the same.  It's slow, but over the years, if they love us, it's less bad guys to hate (just as when they hated us, jihadist recruitment was thru the roof, people walking hundrds of miles to blow themselves up on americans)

I think it's no coicidence that the "dear leader" is shooting off rockets and holding 2 US citizens and putting them on trial while at the same time trying to present his youngest son as his successor.   I think they are certainly related. 

If you listened to all of Obama's speech you would see that he had plenty of straight talk to the Muslims and Jews and even the US and I have no patience for people who constantly want to shit on him, call him failure, etc....

Ur serious..Barry takes credit and dishes out blame like no president before him. Bush backed Israel to the hilt. US policy has always been that while we want new settlements to stop, we have no issue with natural sprawl. Barry wants that to stop as well.  Bush's whole agenda as regards the Middle East is completely different. By securing Iraq and creating a thriving democracy he set the stage or the example for other countries and populations to follow. Barry favors the status quo, everywhere except Israel. Clinton gave Arrafat everything he could hope to want, and Israel agreed. But they decided that wasn't good enough.
