Ahmadinejad: US behind September 11 attacks

Indeed, if you actually read what Ahmadinejad said, it becomes clear that the point of his speech was to connect the 9/11 attacks to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which are still ongoing. No matter how much you may abhor Ahmadinejad, with good cause, this is a key point that is rarely, if ever, reiterated at international summits by politicians.
Without 9/11 as justification there would have certainly been no war in Afghanistan, and little international support for the invasion of Iraq. In accounting for the fallout of these wars of aggression, 9/11 must therefore be addressed. A thorough independent investigation of what happened on 9/11, how the attacks were carried out and by whom should have been the very least we could have expected – instead, it is now accepted as the norm that it is somehow “offensive”, “bizarre” or “hateful” to ask for a plausible explanation of the events, or even to talk about it.
This mindset is one step away from erasing the event from history altogether. It only serves to create even more suspicion that in turn drives people to explore the evidence and discover the truth for themselves.

FTA:["Representatives of the US and other Western countries walked out during the speech to express their protest over the Iranian leader's "failure to uphold the official 9/11 Commission's version of September 11, 2001"]

Right, because the commission report most certainly overrides any other form of insight and investigation. Those who walked out over his speech were not protesting--they were embarrassed. If they had nothing to hide and it was that obvious he was wrong, none of them would have moved, but laughed. Many are using the fallacy of opposition to discredit him--you don't have to like him, but only listen to his reasoning.

Nobody knows who exactly said it (whether it was Goebbels or Hitler, or someone else entirely), but the quote "If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth" is most certainly ingrained into nearly every American in some form or another. In the case of the twin towers, what was fed 24/7 from news agencies around the country and from our former president (especially when wrapped in a nice patriotism sandwich, squirted with the national security condiment), people began to eat up. I'm not saying either side is right, necessarily, but I am saying there was incentive for our government to do so. Through the lens of mainstream media, the power of our collective minds can be greatly funneled.

I've always said that truth often extends only as far as the boundaries of people's selfish hopes and wants. The ignorant would prefer to blame some terrorist organization, and stomp them out with the might of our democratic society; these people would never dare consider that our system may be flawed, and that certain cards are (or were) in play that we are unaware of. For democracy to work, bliss cannot be derived from ignorance.

Ahmadinejad is trolling the UN with his absurd comments. I will say that we had it coming when we supported Bin Laden in Afghanistan. 9/11 was a result of our support for such terrorist organizations but other than that, we didn't plant bombs in our own buildings and all that BS that some people are so obsessed with. Conspiracies make life more interesting one could say.

How anyone can take this guy seriously is beyond me. Just by saying what he does about 9/11 is a discredit to all of those non-insane people who have legitimate questions/theories about what really happened. He's an attention seeking moron who's treatment of those in his country is absolutely appalling and disgusting. Why the U.N. even allows him to spout off like this is mind boggling to me.

This is a big deal. His interview with George Stephanopoulos was pushing this boundary. But now the cat is out of the bag. Finally.

What did he expect the world community to say about this...."Wow we thought he was nuts before, but now that he says this we totally agree with him 100%".?

hahahahahahahaha...oh wait...he wasn't doing standup?...oh....he was serious...oh....that changes this entirely...what a loon

At least someone has the balls to say it to the world community.

Dear Mr. Ahmadinejad,

Please just shut up, you revolting little twerp.

I question Ahmadinejad's motives and why he's always using the world stage to say these things, but of course I am in agreement with his views on 9/11. He gots balls of steel that's for sure.

i hate when i agree with this ass clown in a suit
