White House Press Briefing- July 23, 2003

Scott McClellan responds to a question about the 1953 coup in Iran (an event for which he is unfamiliar) from reporter Russell Mokhiber:

Q Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Defense Secretary, said last week this: "I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq." And I was wondering if the President agrees with that?

SCOTT McCLELLAN: We've made our views very clear in terms of foreign terrorists being in that country, in terms of countries that maybe could be taking steps to prevent that from happening. So I think the President has made his views very clear on that issue.

Q The other question is, New York Times reporter, Stephen Kinzer, has just come out with a book called, All the Shah's Men, An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror. He documents a CIA Operation Ajax, which was a coup that overthrew a democratic-elected Mossadegh. And he makes the following argument -- and I was wondering if you agree to this -- he says, "It is not farfetched to draw a line from Operation Ajax through the Shah's repressive regime and the Islamic revolution to the fireballs that engulfed the World Trade Center in New York."

SCOTT McCLELLAN: I appreciate the opportunity to comment on a book that I haven't read, but -- you're asking about the Central Intelligence Agency?

Q It was a coup by the United States of a democratically elected leader in Iran.

MR. McCLELLAN: Russell, I haven't even seen that book, so. . .
