No, I believe the Cold War was the reason for the CIA's attempts to overthrow governemts. Do you really think that the CIA is going to overthrow a government just to benefit Pepsi or ITT, and overlook it when America's largest oil companies lose ownership of a quarter of the world's oil? I don't. Armaco's nationalization didn't take place overnight either - it took years. re:"...there may have been an overarching cold war goal behind the coups, but I believe that was used more as a cover so the multinations and wealthy elites who own them could get their way in countries that had uncooperative governments."
