Ahmadinejad: 9/11 Attacks a "Big Lie"

(AP)  Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday called the official version of the Sept. 11 attacks a "big lie" used by the U.S. as an excuse for the war on terror, state media reported.

Ahmadinejad's comments, made during an address to Intelligence Ministry staff, come amid escalating tensions between the West and Tehran over its disputed nuclear program. They show that Iran has no intention of toning itself down even with tighter sanctions looming because of its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.

"September 11 was a big lie and a pretext for the war on terror and a prelude to invading Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by state TV. He called the attacks a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."

The Iranian president has questioned the official U.S. version of the Sept. 11 attacks before, but this is the first time he ventured to label it a "big lie."

In 2007, New York officials rejected Ahmadinejad's request to visit the World Trade Center site while he was in the city for a U.N. meeting. The president also sparked an uproar when he said during a lecture in New York that the causes and conditions that led to the attacks, as well as who orchestrated them, still need to be examined.

At the time, he also told Iranian state TV the attacks were "a result of mismanaging and inhumane managing of the world by the U.S," and that Washington was using Sept. 11 as an excuse to attack others.

He has also questioned the Sept. 11 death toll of around 3,000, claiming the Americans never published the victims' names.

On the 2007 anniversary of the attacks, the names of 2,750 victims killed in New York were read aloud at a memorial ceremony.

Sometime it is easier to just follow the main stream, believing that our government as the whole truth and not question the possibilities. If I can suggest a great documentary that anyone should check just to see the two face of the story. LOOSE CHANGE and getting stream directly from video google. Simply search for Loose change final cut.

Now who says the truth?

.....What was done to them to make them so mad to carry out such an ostracity? What did we do to them? It is narcissistic to think it was jealousy or an envious obsession with our culture/way of life. The way of life they wish to keep is their own.

Ummm, don't you read?

There are so many insightful books written by well regarded journalists, historians and politicians such as Robert Frisk, Karen Armstrong, N. Chomsky, one of my favorites: Ahmed Rashid, Steve Coll, and Fareed Zadaria.

It is not a simple answer as "yes, they hate us 'cause they are jealous". Only a conservative moron would say that. How about looking into: the US support of Israel, the Palistinian refugees in neighboring countries, Gaza, how quickly the Americans left Afghanstan when the Soviets were defeated, the CIA plots and supported coups in many Middle Eastern countries like Egypt and Iraq, look into how US played India and Pakistan. How America had supported the ruling family in Saudi and allowed the family to defeat any democractic reforms.

No, they don't turn into suicide bombers 'cause they hate Levi jeans and beside they are pissed 'cause they can't buy a pair in the local bazaar.

I suppose Ronald Reagan, Republican, will rise from his grave and assure Republicans he will deliver on dealing with IRAN...his Campaign promise of 1979.....gee ! like George Bush and his never ending war on Al Qaeda...If you want the job done....DON'T VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN !!! IT seems to be about making a buck rather than getting the job done! Ask Cheney for the difference of his estimate to invade Iraq....he said it would cost 50 billion, tops !!! Write the Check DICK* It is nearly 800 BILLION NOW and we are still there !!!

As for Amadinejad....I am sure someone will wipe him from the face of the earth, sort of like the plan he clearly states should happen to Israel..."Wiped from the map." Pity so many civilians and soldiers have to commit to battle with a leader that says there are no Homosexuals in Iran...no holocaust in WWII...NO 9/11 in the US....and by George....was popularly elected, complete with secret police and beatings for anyone who disagrees with him...Thanks, Ronnie, for taking care of future generations of Americans with your double talk Republican business plans for doing zero about Iran. We should name an alley in DC after you....RONNIE REAGAN BOULEVARD...and put your face on the 50 cent dollar bill celebrating the Trickle Down Economics of your administration.

Hard to argue with someone when they have a point.

[electronicname]

He lied about not being one of the conspirators that overtook the US embassy back in the '70s. We know he was involved. His picture is in the photos.

Many Americans died in the World Trade Center, at Somerset County Pennsylvania, and in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. George W. had every intention of attacking Iraq after the Twin Towers fell. His intelligence persons assured him that Terrorists would hijack passenger jets and fly into New York City during his first year in office. Bush calculated an attack on Iraq and Afghanistan before the 2000 presidential election.

The Y2K disaster was the election of that year for sure...
We know the fix was in on Florida yet everyone in power turns a blind eye.
We know how in the following election Ohio was probably compromised as well.
We all know Pelosi took "impeachment off the table"...
We should all be marching on Washington for the return of our rights and legislation that protects the country from economic catastophes as the exodus of manufacturing and technology.
Look at the numbers, 10 years ago, 18 million workers in the middle class....Today, 10 million...only until the obama administrations grand effort has stimulated a response that might balance the system, but for the jobs already lost...gone for our lifetime....Many trades will vanish from existance in America forever unless immediate restrictions are placed on the kinds of trade we as a nation should mandate for our protection since it is not guarenteed under the present system which has economically depressed the future.
It's been 8 years since WTC, has anypart been rebuilt?
It's been 21 years since the Loma Preita earthquake, necessitating a new eastern structure of the Bay Bridge...they say its on schedule...roflmao
How is New Orleans going?

[hateisafourletterword]

overruled1 - you are correct.

The fix was in on FL. The networks announced FL for Gore one hour prior to polls closing in parts of western FL in the panhandle in a blatant attempt to keep Bush supporters in that part of FL from exercising their constitutional right to cast their vote.

You do believe in the right of everyone person to cast thier own vote correct? If from Chicago or Gary IN, that would include anyone who died in the past 100 years.

[Overruled1]

I happen to agree with the criminal president of Iran...
I happen to believe the former criminal president of the US had some involvement in the demise of the WTC.

Laws of Science cannot be broken.

There is no way the fuel on the 2 airliners could have brought down the WTC.
Open burn of 10,000 gallons of jet fuel would have spent itself in 5 minutes at about 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Resistance of the structures was zero when they fell, in other words they fell at the speed of gravity which is impossible without internal explosives being set off at predetermined locations, just like the demolitions featured on TV.

Audio tape exists of the owner himself on radio about "pulling buildings"
which is a well known term for destroying them.

I didn't make this up you know...

[hateisafourletterword]

And the holocaust was made up too? Your beloved President of Iran said so right at Columbia University.

Kool-Aid sales are on the upswing.

[Heavymtl1]

Awesome, another person here that IS NOT A MEDIA SLAVE! Another person capable of THINKING CRITICALLY. If you can't see that 9/11 was an inside job - you're not looking hard enough. Go back and review, because you don't know anything about 9/11 until you do the research. Heck, without the "Jersey Girls" research, we wouldnt have even had a commission to investigate it! (Not that that mattered, it was a complete whitewash)

Read Michael C. Ruppert's book- Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, a book located on the shelf at the Harvard School of Business Library, and then you'll be armed with the propper knowledge of the events leading up to 9/11, the attacks themselves, and the actions afterwards. I challenge you, hateisafourletterword, to read this.

You can not make 110 acres of 10cm thick concrete turn to dust in 10 seconds without preplanned explosives!

President Ahmadinejad is one of many that rightly see the story that is told on mainstream American infotainment outlets as a LIE.

You can not make 110 acres of 10cm thick concrete turn to dust in 10 seconds without preplanned explosives! Fortunately for the real perpetrators of the 9-11 demolitions the American people would rather watch TV than learn math and science.

You can not make 110 acres of 10cm thick concrete turn to dust in 10 seconds without preplanned explosives! FACT!

Really? Explain. I had no idea the Towers collapsed in 10 seconds. Ummmm I truely thought it was much longer than 10 seconds.....

[Heavymtl1]

The 110 floor towers collapsed in roughly 15 seconds apeice, or 7 floors per second. Building 7 fell in 7 seconds however. That's right, 47 stories fell in 7 seconds. All 58 perimeter columns and all 24 core columns failed SIMULTANEOUSLY! This is not possible without explosives. But this is irrelevant! You want to understand 9/11?

Read the bible of 9/11: http://www.**********/Crossing-Rubicon-Decline-American-Empire/dp/0865715408

If you can't, won't, or refuse to see how dubious 9/11 is, you're a lost cause.

[writer10]

You mean like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 'big lie' that the plutonium will only be used for energy?

Yes...those planes and passengers were just a mirage...they're currently in hiding with Elvis and Amelia in Las Vegas...living off the taxpayers dollars as ficticious highrollers to 'cover up' the gov't

[Overruled1]

They probably have a secret civilian fishing programming for the plutonium in those underwater missles they managed to test fire few years back....

[Agent_Cozmo]

You can not make 110 acres of 10cm thick concrete turn to dust in 10 seconds without preplanned explosives. The attacks of 11 September 2001 were undeniably an INSIDE JOB. If America the country really cared about open, transparent democracy, instead of ignorant rants about scapegoats, then it would DEMAND real investigations, and it would put many on trial in the open. The shadows of the White House and the Intelligence community are all too often as a safe haven for criminals. There is nothing wrong with open and fair democracy. There is a lot wrong with infotainment talking head regurgitating lies covering up mass murder.

Isn't it ironic that if you ask those who support the government's preposterous conspiracy theory of 19 hijackers (that weren't even there), they resort to personal attacks instead of reason, science and math?

GOT REASON?

Ask questions, demand democracy!

[writer10]

10 seconds?? are you high? 'assuming' your crackpipe conspiracy theory held any water, has it ever occured to you that these aholes not only faked credentials to get in to the US, took flight lessons, did everything imaginable under the radar, yet in plain sight, that just 'maybe' they'd be able to plant your explosives? Gee, you've never heard of a muslim security guard, bank president, stock broker (Oh! airport shuttle driver?? s'pose that's a conspiracy as well to 'exploit' those 'poor innocent muslims' like that 'sad guy' from Ft Hood that that 'nice boy' from Cali is praising and 'calling on' ALL US mulslims to attack inside the US ...you are an idiot

[av8r81]

@writer10: What a typical, preprogrammed response. Your thought process is proof that the American people have been conditioned to think a certain way. When tower 7 fell in less than 10 seconds in free fall fashion, it was evident to ANYONE who understands basic physics that explosives were involved. There is no way 2 planes can totally demolish 3 buildings w/o assistance of explosives. If WTC7 fell, why didn't 5 or 6...which sustained MUCH greater damage?
