Former UN official ‘not sure’ if 9/11 was created to justify war in the Middle East

In an interview given to Arab Voices, a Pacifica radio program, anti-war activist Denis Halliday was on to discuss President Obama’s announcement on the U.S. withdrawal of some of its troops from occupied Iraq.

Halliday is a former UN Assistant Secretary General, and former UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq (1997-1998). He resigned after a 34 year career with the UN to free himself of the constraints imposed on him and thereby speak out publicly on the terrible impact of UN economic sanctions on the people of Iraq.

Halliday was posed with a question on whether American citizens, given the nation’s current Anti-Muslim hysteria and climate of fear, coupled with the desire to invade Iran should be concerned about the possibility of a false flag terror attack which could be used as another pretext for war.

Halliday anknowledged that Pearl Harbor was invented, as well as used as a pretext for the US to enter World War II, yet admitted that he was not so sure if he believed that 9/11 was the same type of event.

    • There is a view that Mr. Halliday knows all of these facts, but that he was afraid to answer the question honestly and preferred to go with the Al Qaeda boogieman theory on 9/11. This comes from an internet radio host who has interviewd Mr. Halliday on at least two other occasions and has claimed to have had private conversations with him.

      There is second video (basically a longer version of the one posted here), where the aforementioned radio host, Daryl Bradford Smith of I Am The Witness/ French Connection comments on Mr. Hallidays statements about Iraq, Iran and 9/11, but I chose not to post it on Current. You can however, find it through this YouTube user's channel.

    • well, let's look at the facts. there were never any WMD's found in Iraq. Bin Ladin was never found, nor was it ever even proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was ever in Iraq (he was a wanted man there). Haliburton and Smith\KBR (Cheney) and the Carlyle group (Bush family) both profited massively from the Iraq invasion. The Owner of the WTC complex profited massively from the attacks as well, having just doubled his coverage against just such attacks as occurred on 9/11.

      there were definitely both motive and opportunity.
