Now it's not just Holocaust denial or his deputies saying it - Mr. Ahmedinejad has declared himself a full-fledged conspiracy theorist with out and out 9/11 denial. What will the Obama administration's response be??
"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."
A big lie supported by mountains of data analysis by some of the world's top experts in the fields of structural engineering...care to explain that sir?
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.
Deflecting attention from the poor management of your own country, yet again. Someone polish off the hypocrisy award for this guy.

I hope the 9/11 "truthers" can finally see the kind of morons that adhere to the same conspiracy that they believe. Congrats truthers, your cause is now no better than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

There is a big difference between saying that the US government used 9/11 as justification for invading Iraq, and saying that the US government caused 9/11 in order to justify invading Iraq.

While his convoluted babble may suggest that the U.S. attacked itself, which would be rubbish, he does not explicitly say so. He is in his latest statement, however, basically denying Al Qaeda's responsibility.
In this older statement (quote above), however, he is almost justifying 9/11 as a legitimate reaction of non-American groups who oppose the Americans' "inhumane managing of the world." And then simply concludes that the U.S., instead of analyzing the events and improving their "inhumane managing of the world," used it as a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
Of course, Amanutcasejidad cannot be taken seriously overall, but, accidentally, with Iraq he's not that far off.

Quoting RJ111 (Reply 14): They made up their own excuse for Iraq.
While never explicitly linking Iraq to 9/11, and adding the whole WMD lie, the US gov't implicitly linked Saddam to Bin Laden and encouraged the media to create a very popular belief in this connection.

By and large, the US can just be thankful that critics like friend Ahmad make such a mess out of making criticism. Laughing at Ahmad might leave your thinking you are perfect and hubris was supposed to go out of style in Jan 2009 was it not?
But you never have come to terms with some of your most powerful internal critics and I do not mean the conspiracy nuts.
In any event, with a fair slab of the US population apparently following Lord Monckton in his "UN plot to rule America via a commie takeover", it is no time to deride conspiracy theorists from outside until the home stables are cleansed.

I would push my out of gas Ford F-150 gas station past a Citgo station (Citgo is own by Charviz) rather than buy gas there.

As I understand it, Lord Monckton is also very popular among the British and former British subjects, too.

Ironically that makes him more dependant on us than we are of him. There are around 13000 Citgo stations in the US; most of the Venezuela's tanker fleet is optimized for the short trip across the Gulf of Mexico. The type of crude pumped out of the ground there is refined in special refineries in Texas and Louisiana.

What's your definition of "fair slab" twenty percent, thirty percent, ninety percent? Ask most Americans if they know who the guy is and they probably will say they never heard of him.

Hopefully he has low recognition, but of those who have heard of him, it is probably around 20%. The real laugh is that the organization he accused of wanting to mastermind the takeover is said to have about 8 staff. Oh well, it would not take much skill to rule the world would it?

To be honest I had to look up who he was. When I did and read some of the stuff he has said I came to the conclusion that he ate lead paint chips as a child. And possibly as an adult.
