TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt Wednesday over the U.S. version of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, calling it a pretext used to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
Though Iran has condemned the Al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington in the past, this was the third time in a week Ahmadinejad questioned the death toll, who was behind the attacks and how it happened.
"Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names," Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom.
"Under this pretext, they (the U.S.) attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then a million people have been killed only in Iraq," said Ahmadinejad in the speech broadcast live on state-run television.
On the last anniversary of the attacks, the names of 2,750 victims killed in New York were read aloud at a memorial ceremony there.
Last year, Ahmadinejad raised questions over the September 11 attacks, saying "what caused it, what were the conditions that led to it, who truly was involved" needed to be examined.

Huh? Wha?
President Ahm-a-dinnerjacket needs to learn to read first. Then perhaps he can modify his statement.
And this is who Obama wants to sit down and talk with?! That would be like talking to a 2 x 4.
If he doesn’t believe in the Holocaust....why blve 9/11 occured?
We all know that the Jeeeeeewwwws orchestrated the 911 attacks.
He also needs to do a little math, unless there was another terrorist attack that I and 300 million other Americans don't know about.
Four or five years ago would have been April 2003 or 2004. I'm guessing the emphasis in their schools doesn't focus much on reading or math.
a box of rocks talking to a 2x4
Ahmadinejad should stop listening to Rosie O’Donnell.
This guy needs to stop smoking that goat dung.
So much for all the hype about their society being young and sophisticated.
Of course, if Americans elect Hussein they will be equally delusional.
“...and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names,”

will the idiot obama apologize for his supporters statement or is this another of those isues he “misspoke” about
He’s a holocaust denier, so this denial of 9/11 fits a pattern of his malicious conspiracy theories. He’s leading Iran towards a terrible disaster for the Iranians.
The media gives him a pass by not being CRITICAL of his statements.
A man who makes outright DENIALS of established fact can be labelled a “denier”. That too is a fact.
I guess this dope doesn’t know how to google.

This is silly even for Iammadjohn.
Notice how left-wing wackos in the US say the same thing? Notice the strong and deep loving alliance of the left and the death cult jihadis?
Look here Mr Ahmadinejad, 9/11 was done by Bush and Cheny so that they could attack Afghanistan so that Halliburton could build an oil pipeline in that country. Nice to see that you are just now renting Michael Moore’s movie ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’.
He just makes up his own facts, like every other dictator.
Ignorant buffoon.
Nuts, just plan nuts.
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and the crash of United Airlines flight 93, officials across the country are working to piece together lists of victims.While the official number of those missing and dead will inevitably rise over the next few weeks, authorities from American Airlines, United Airlines, the Department of Defense, the New York City Medical Examiners Office and the New York City Fire Department, have released partial lists.
"Under this pretext, they (the U.S.) attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then a million people have been killed only in Iraq," said Ahmadinejad in the speech broadcast live on state-run television.
Heck, go to the DUmp, KOS, HUffpo or any other left wing website and you will see the same accusations. The whacked out liberals in Austin, TX believe this crap too and write letters to the editors in the paper. Typical conspiracy theory. Me thinks "My Mood I'm In A Jihad" has been reading the dim/leftwing nutjob websites.
BTW, welcome to FR - I think.
Well he has something in common with ron paul.
Don’t equate Iranians with this whackjob, the clergy thugs, and their terrorist friends.
You will find a lot of Iranians are very pro-American when government goons are not around.
The Iranian people have had these 5 years to watch 4000 of us die for any human being in that part of the word that want a civilized nation.
There is no evidence whatsoever that they disagree with their government threatening inhalation of other nations, with nukes.
And 5 years in plenty of time to ask for our help, and act.
Another 9/11 Truther.
Maybe Rosie O’Donnell and Jesse Ventura can throw a party for him.
