Iran's leader: 2 planes couldn't bring towers down

(AP)  WASINGTON — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says that as an engineer he's sure the twin towers were not brought down by jetliners.

Ahmadinejad, in an interview with The Associated Press, says it would have been impossible for two jetliners to bring down the towers simply by hitting them. he says some kind of planned explosion must have taken place.

Ahmadinejad stopped short of saying the United States staged the disaster 10 years ago. But he says there are questions the world should resolve, and noted there are doubters in the United States as well.

Ahmadinejad was denied his request last year to visit the site of the World Trade Center collapse. He says he's not making another attempt this year. He's in New York City for the U.N. General Assembly.

Sure he. Just like every other "expert" in the truth movement he has yet to publish any research in a real journal.

I'm afraid Mr. Ahmadinejad is correct & he's far from the only person to believe so. If terrorism hadn't replaced Communism as America's big enemy,who would the 'enemy' be today? and what would the defense budget be like? CIA budget? FBI budget? The American people wont pay for a huge military unless they believe there's a huge enemy that poses a huge threat that makes it necessary. And they wont fight wars for oil. Revenge is a good motivator,oil isn't.

I'm no fan of Ahmadinejad, but he is right about the WTC. He's partially right about the Holocaust too. I've watched the numbers of Jews killed during the Holocaust grow over the years from 2 million to over 6 million. That is almost twice as many Jews as existed in all of Europe at the time. Not saying that it didn't happen, but the Zionist claims are irrational.
