America spends a lot of money in Canada, and the UK, are they meddling in those countries?
The two billion a year was a given because Mubarek decided to adopt a more Israel friendly policy.
You have a very strange slant on things my friend.

Operation Ajax was in the 1950's in a completely different era, with a completely different CIA. I wonder if you read the news where the CIA admits that it was caught off guard by both the Egyptian revolution and the one in Tunisia. Yet somehow they are orchestrating it. Oh sorry the standard conspiracy slant will be "They're lying"

The biggest problem with the American intelligence community is that its become passive and relies on signal intelligence and intelligence from other countries within that region. They don't have enough feet on the ground. And there aren't sinister CIA agents out there driving over throws of governments anymore, the CIA is not that competent.
