I'll be sure to jot that one down, right next to the holocaust being completely fabricated, too. But Nessie and alien abductions? Dude. It's such a conspiracy, like zomg.

Iran's Ahmadinejad: Sept. 11 attacks a 'big lie'

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer Ali Akbar Dareini, Associated Press Writer – Sat Mar 6, 1:50 pm ET

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday called the official version of the Sept. 11 attacks a "big lie" used by the U.S. as an excuse for the war on terror, state media reported.

Ahmadinejad's comments, made during an address to Intelligence Ministry staff, come amid escalating tensions between the West and Tehran over its disputed nuclear program. They show that Iran has no intention of toning itself down even with tighter sanctions looming because of its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.

"September 11 was a big lie and a pretext for the war on terror and a prelude to invading Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by state TV. He called the attacks a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."

The Iranian president has questioned the official U.S. version of the Sept. 11 attacks before, but this is the first time he ventured to label it a "big lie."

In 2007, New York officials rejected Ahmadinejad's request to visit the World Trade Center site while he was in the city for a U.N. meeting. The president also sparked an uproar when he said during a lecture in New York that the causes and conditions that led to the attacks, as well as who orchestrated them, still need to be examined.

At the time, he also told Iranian state TV the attacks were "a result of mismanaging and inhumane managing of the world by the U.S," and that Washington was using Sept. 11 as an excuse to attack others.

He has also questioned the Sept. 11 death toll of around 3,000, claiming the Americans never published the victims' names.

On the 2007 anniversary of the attacks, the names of 2,750 victims killed in New York were read aloud at a memorial ceremony.

what are you saying, eleanore? you can't see why people who have been on the receiving end of our deceits can think our government might lie? what possible reason do the iranians have for trusting us?

i'm not saying he's right, nor that i trust HIM, but as always there are at LEAST two sides to this story, no? and it IS true that we have meddled far beyond rightful boundaries in iran's business...

What I want to know is how Al Qaeda is taking this news.

I mean, they're going to be pretty angry once they realize that their whole organization is just a mock-up by the very entity they are hell-bent on trying to destroy. I can't even imagine the emotions they must be going through!

I agree with this article. It's great! Let the US go into Iran... they will do and i think they will get a nasty surprise.

The Iranians are ready and not taking the US's crap anymore.
Bring it on. They started it and they will sadly be the ones to ultimately regret it.

Israel would lead into this, not the US.
