Not one false- note the spelling- fact in the speech. The entire speech was right on- do some research into how the U.S. (and England) has manipulated the people of the middle east for at least decades. Iran elected a leader- CIA wanted him out- Truman said no- then Eisenhower came in and said "get him out of there"- we funded the overthrowing of a popular, democratically elected leader of a sovereign country and put the Shah back on the throne- the people had already done away w/ the monarchy- we forced it back on them. All about oil. Seriously- quit listening to Rush, O'reilly, etc., and do some real searching- read, study- he spoke the truth, and it will only help our country and the world in the end.
