Morally bankrupt Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated his belief that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were part of a vast conspiracy conducted by the US government. "The September 11 [attacks] were actually a planned game to provoke the human community's sentiments and find an excuse for launching attack on Muslim regions and occupying Iraq and Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad said today according to ABC News and the Iranian press.
Previously, the patently delusional Ahmadinejad has asked the UN to perform an independent investigation of the September 11 attacks, which is something that he and the American 9/11 Truthers have in common. NY Rep. Peter King tells ABC News that, "People making these claims are disgraceful, and they should be ashamed of themselves." It would serve Ahmadinejad well if he and his ilk took a look at Slate's excellent analysis of why trutherism is so ridiculous, but then again, you can't believe everything you read on the internet.
