But Schwarzkopf Sr.’s greatest (some would say, most infamous) accomplishment would come a few years later 2,000 miles away from central Europe -- in Iran.

In August 1953, through the auspices of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and British intelligence, in cooperation with forces loyal to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, the popularly-elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh, was forcibly removed from power.

Mossadegh's “crime” had been to support the nationalization of Iran's key oil industry -- a grave affront to British oil companies. The 1953 coup not only ended Iran's attempt to control its own hugely lucrative petroleum sector, but likely also killed any chances for Iran developing into a democratic society.

(sgt_doom's comments: Kermit Roosevelt, the CIA dood in charge of the team, would later go on to employment as the vice-chairman of Gulf Oil (owned by the Mellon family), and after that as an international "troubleshooter" for the oil cartel (presumably that meant Rockefeller-Mellon-Morgan, etc.

Further interesting to note that the well-known newspaper columnist at that time, Joseph Alsop, was Kermit Roosevelt's cousin, as another well-known columnist, Cleveland Amory, had a brother who was deputy director at the CIA. It is a small world after all, huh?

BTW, that British oil company today is called BP, and was owned then --- probably still is --- half by the British gov't [wonder who owns them???] and the other half split among the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family and the Rothschild family.)

there are way bigger GF1 war criminals than Schwarzkopf still about, one in particular trundling his artificial heart about in Jackson Hole. Schwarzkopf, or any general, like even vaunted GF2 genius Petraeus, seems more like he's just doing his job, but much of his job was morally indefensible - slaughtering retreating soldiers on the Highway of Death, for instance.

come on, slog - can't you just shut up & "support the troops"!

I'm arguing that 1991 is a good while ago now, almost a generation ago, you might say.
