Iranian President Questions 9-11
Iran’s hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expressed doubt Wednesday about the accepted version of events during al-Qaeda attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.
In a speech broadcast live on state television, Ahmadinejad called the attack a pretext that was used to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
Though Iran has condemned the al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington in the past, this was the third time in a week Ahmadinejad questioned the death toll, who was behind the attacks and how it happened.
Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom that the event was “suspicious” and that the names of the people killed were never published.
On the last anniversary of the attacks, the names of 2,750 victims killed in New York were read aloud at a memorial ceremony there.
In the past, Ahmadinejad has said that the attack was “a result of mismanaging and inhumane managing of the world by the U.S.” and it should not be turned into another Holocaust and “be used for slaughtering people.”

Someone should get rid of this guy. Be it another nation or a secret assassination, I don’t care. This guys motive is to piss of America, and he certainly makes me mad. Iran is yet another country in the Middle East that is dangerous and ignorant to the modern world. He said gays don’t exist in his country for God’s sake, how can such an idiot run a country?

What can I say? He’s right about a lot of things. We wont ever know why 9/11 ever happened or who was really behind it. There are a lot of intelligent articles and video’s around that discuss the very possible possibility that the u.s. government was behind the 9/11 attacks. There is all sorts of evidence to support this. You can get more information on this by running a simple google search.
Anyhow, the entire world knows what really happened… our government used 9/11 as an excuse to go after natural resources which didn’t belong to them. In the process, Bush went after Saddam and killed close to or more than a million Iraqis.
Everyone always says…”omg, there are over 3 thousand dead u.s. soldiers”. All I have to say to those people is… “omg, we have killed over 1 million iraqi’s, taliban or non-taliban.” Who gives a rats ass about 3,000 troops when you are comparing it to one million. (no offense).
Our media is doing a great job of keeping things under wraps as well. Bravo America.

9/11 killed less than 3,000 U.S. citizens. Bush got over 4,000 killed, and has blown over $3 trillion on lost wars.
And why? The answer, lies in Prof Chalmers Johnson’s books. He was consultant to the National Intel Estimates (NIE), the one distorted by the draft dodgers to make a case for war.
The books refer to America’s Empire, with 737 declared military bases all over the world, plus many secret ones, torture chambers, and those such as in the U.K, not on that list, but manned purely by U.S. troops, like Mildenhall, Lakenheath, Wethersfield, Alconbury, Brize Norton, Fairford, etc.
Sheikh Bin Laden asked the U.S. to leave the holy lands of the K.S.A. after the first gulf war, but Clinton and Bush refused. Funny that! After 9/11, Bush capitulated to the Sheikh and his troops left the K.S.A and are now in Qatar. Chalk up one for the Sheikh, Zero for the draft dodgers.

I’m just curious as to the credibility of these “videos” you talk of. I hope you are not referring to the ones on the net. If thats the case your comments indicating the US government had something to do with it holds no weight.
Personally I am close with more than a dozen families that lost someone that day.
I wouldn’t question how many Americans died or our motive to go after suspect nations supporting terror. I would question your patriotism and ask you if you are a US citizen.. If you are maybe you should consider moving to one of the above stated nations and see how long you last.. Keep in mind I’m not bashing you at all… There are always 2 sides to a story… Keep that in mind.

We’ve all read about the rhetoric this sick little man from Iran tosses about as if he is the only one in the world with any true knowledge.
He also had a conference/seminar in Iran a year or so ago to discuss how the Holocaust never happened. So now he is saying, essentially, that 9/11 didn’t happen or didn’t happen the way it was reported.
There are a couple of solutions to all this that come to mind, but the best is to ignore this ignorant little man who preaches hate, misery and idiocy.
Sooner or later someone will take care of him.

Please don’t be nieve and believe that America did not have anything to do with 9-11. From changes in the stock market prior to 9/11, the failure of NORAD, two depleted buildings struck differently but fall the exact same way. Have you actually seen the Pentagon’s video? I love what America stands for (freedom), but I hate what it represents (greed,tyranny). Please read about operation Northwoods (cuban missle crisis). The beloved JFK, MLK; do you really think one man constructed the plan to kill JFK, JFK’s head goes toward the area where Lee Harvey was supposely (not away from the area.) People please open your eyes, the government doesn’t care about us. If they did, they would’ve taken the multibillion dollar war in Iraq fund and put it to better use; for instance, HEALTHCARE.

Not sure why some people wanna “take out that guy” attitude when they say something contra USA or disagree or when they publicise their opinion. This is not th Wild West anymore my friend, well, the good old USA has created a new one in the Middle East, that’s a different story. Ahmedinejad has every right to publish his views. I think we have all heard about freedom of speech although this may not exist in Iran but hey, he is the leader of his country, end of story. There was a plane crash in Sao Paulo on a 3 storey building, the plane exploded but the building stood still yet the Twin Towers with all the building regularities and inspections crashed like paper towers!! It makes me wonde as well
How come these buildings crashed so easily and yet a 3 storey building stood still in Sao Paulo. Check it out. Yes it is tragic to lose loved ones but in no way justification to send millions to their deaths.. Iamgine those faimlies, day after day, hour after hour to live in terror. Can you imagine living like that in the good old USA? I didn’t think so.

AB- People like you disgust me. I was living in New York when the towers went down. I had many friends who lost love ones. It was not a US led attack. Bin Laden has come out and claimed responsibility for it, because of our beliefs and support of Israel. You read conspiracy theories from insane people on the net and claim it as truth.
I did not support the war. I voted against it but now we are there and need to finish what we started. Remember 50 percent of America supported the war. We did not go in for resources. We have not taken any of their oil. Where do you get your facts? Please stop polluting this world with your anti-American propaganda.

Jill Buck, my neice walked thru the two towers daily, and helped drive strangers to their homes until 2 am the morning on 9/12.
I was in the AF for years, and saw evidence of Empire before my own eyes, passing through Teheran, Tripoli, Dhahran, and European countries, when I naively thought the world loved Americans–until the French President pulled out of NATO and evicted all the bases I used to use for my free trips abroad.
Read the reason for the sudden change: “The Sorrows of Empire”, and “Nemesis-The Last Days of the American Republic” by UCSD Professor Chalmers Johnson, and get an understanding of why we lost these two wars (sending people who barely speak high school English to subjugate peoples that speak Dari, Pushto, Urdu, Farsi and Arabic.

Yes, Iranian president is right in many things, he says truth. Bush and his mates used this attack to cheat world opinion and justify their own illegal, crime intention: plundering, predatory invasion on Iraq and Afghanistan. Some people believe that they cooperated by this attack on WTC and it was done to create hatred against this people and to make easy their mad and sick plans of the conquer of the world ( nobody thinks that these wars would be finished only on Iraq and Afghanistan, there were further conquers in plans: Iran, Russia, China ) . But thanks to God all their plans were failed and Bush, Cheney will be remembered always as genocides, creators of second holocaust, pitful instigator. And the next thing: they killed much more people that their tight friend Bin Laden during all his life.

you aussies think they know so much about the U.S., why? Probably because they come here in droves to study abroad, then come here and bash us. At least the ones I’ve met in school are this way.
