"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the United States on Tuesday of using the September 11, 2001 attacks as a "pretext" to launch invasions and cast doubt on the accepted version of the terror strikes.

"On the pretext of this incident a major military operation was launched and oppressed Afghanistan was attacked. Tens of thousands of people have been killed until now," he said in a speech broadcast on state television.

"Poor Iraq was attacked. According to official figures... one million people have been killed," he said in the speech marking Iran's day of nuclear technology.

He appeared to cast doubt on the official version of the attacks, saying the names of those killed had never been published and questioning how the planes had hit the towers of the World Trade Centre in New York.

"An event was created in the name of the attack against the twin towers. We were all sad. It was said that 3,000 people were killed," Ahmadinejad said.

"But the names of the 3,000 people were never published and nobody was able to respond to the main question, which is how is it possible that with the best radar systems and intelligence networks the planes could crash undetected into the towers."

This is the first time that Ahmadinejad has spoken publicly about his interpretation of the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The government of Iran's then reformist president Mohammad Khatami was quick to condemn the airborne attacks on New York and Washington carried out by Al-Qaeda militants which killed nearly 3,000 people.

However hardline newspapers have on occasion described the attacks as a conspiracy that was devised by the White House to justify its attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan."
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    He would be correct regardless of how he feels towards the Iraqi people on any given day. Iraq (and Afghanistan) both were both attacked on a string of lies.

    Afgan was attacked because osama bin laden and his organization had safe haven there. even bill clinton (prior to 9/11) attacked the country because we've have always had a sworn enemy there. Glad we cleared that up.

    I guess that dope didn't watch Super Bowl 36 when they listed ALL THE NAMES of the people who were killed that day during the half time show. Someone send him a tape.

    The stupidity of the CIA and the FBI not working together and not sharing info was a big part to blame on what happened that day.

    Is that even breaking news anymore? Does it warrant a thread? Thats like pointing out that we're there for oil................um duh.


    All wars come from two things



    Religious differences.

    Resources up for grabs.


    I didnt disagree with Mr. Iran. I simply pointed out the humor in him calling people he'd gladly kill himself as "poor Iraq". If you don't see the humor in that, ok then.

    A pat on the back? Popularity amongst people who already think he's awesome? Kinda like a rockstar going on and on to a bunch of people who already agree with him. I guess.

    Sigh, Afghanistan was one thing Iraq a completely different matter. Iraq was a farce something that we had no business getting into. Afghanistan was the correct choice. The loss of life is tragic.

    And yet we didn't get ENEMY #1, and have apparently ceased looking for him. And he wasn't always a sworn enemy. I don't know how you could be a member here and not see the multitudes of posts about the U.S. training and funding Osama. Glad we cleared that up.
