Ahmadinejad a 9/11 Truther? Says, “9/11 was a big lie”

It looks like Iranian leader and chief nutcase Ahmadinejad is going 9/11 Truther on us and why not, he denied the Holocaust, so why not 9/11? 

(CNN) -- Two days before his official trip to Afghanistan, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a "big lie" intended to pave the way for the invasion of a war-torn nation, according to Iranian state media.

Ahmadinejad, known for his harsh rhetoric toward the West and Israel, said the attack on U.S. soil was a "scenario and a sophisticated intelligence measure," Iran's state-run Press TV reported Saturday.

The assault was a "big lie intended to serve as a pretext for fighting terrorism and setting the grounds for sending troops to Afghanistan," Press TV reported Ahmadinejad as saying. 

Here is something to consider. Ahmadinejad’s statement is pure insanity, just like his Holocaust statement, yet the mullahs of Iran were willing to risk getting toppled for his sham reelection. What does that tell you?  Seems to me that they might actually believe Ahmadinejad’s nonsense, if so, should we not be completely alarmed that this nation is marching on its way to becoming a nuclear nation?

Ahmadinejad: Iran is now a “Nuclear State”

Well today is February 11^th, the 31^st anniversary of the Iranian Revolution and the day that Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah said they would deliver a “telling blow” or “punch” to the western world. Today Ahmadinejad announced their big news; they are now a “nuclear state”: 

'We have the capability to enrich uranium more than 20 percent or 80 percent (the level needed to create an atomic bomb),' he said in a speech broadcast live on state television.

'But we don't enrich (to this level) because we don't need it...

'When we say we do not manufacture the bomb, we mean it, and we do not believe in manufacturing a bomb,' he told the crowd. 'If we wanted to manufacture a bomb we would announce it.'

Oh, how very reassuring Mr. Ahmadinejad.  Watching Iran saunter on its way to getting nuclear weapons as the western world dithers is like watch Hiroshima unfold in slow motion. We all know exactly what Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs are up to, we all know their true purpose and we all know the danger we will face if they succeed, yet everyone sits around pretending that there is another option other than a military strike against Iran.

Iran knows that the west loathes taking military action and is using that fact to reach their goal. The only true threat to their plan is Israel and poor Israel is pretty much out there all by itself when it comes to taking action.

It is pure insanity when world governments fail to do their number one true job, protect their people.

Ahmadinejad issues threat: Iran will deliver telling blow to global powers on Feb. 11

OK, this is a little scary.

From Press TV:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the nation will deliver a harsh blow to the "global arrogance" on this year's anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. 

"The Islamic Revolution opened a window to liberty for the human race, which was trapped in the dead ends of materialism," Ahmadinejad said during a cabinet meeting on Sunday. 

"If the Islamic Revolution had not occurred, liberalism and Marxism would have crushed all human dignity in their power-seeking and money-grubbing claws. Nothing would have remained of human and spiritual principles," he added. 

Ahmadinejad said that in the three decades of its history, the Islamic Revolution had inspired some great developments in the world. 

The Iranian president made the remarks as the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution approaches. 

Iranians are expected to pour into the streets on February 11 to celebrate the occasion in public rallies across the country, as they have done annually over the past three decades.  

Apparently the administration is taking the threat rather seriously and has deployed Patriot defense missiles to the area as well as keeping two ships in the region. I certainly would feel better about this if we had an administration that was more on the ball. Just thinking about the sloppy handling of the Panty Bomber isn’t very reassuring.

Also I wonder if Ahmadinejad’s threat has anything to do with the heighten terror activity (female suicide bombers, increased number of people from the No Fly list trying to board planes or UK’s raised terror level)?  Perhaps that is what Ahmadinejad meant rather than a standard military strike.

Better keep alert all the same.

Freedom Denied

“You’re seeing people looking at new possibilities,” Obama said in response to a question at the White House today. “Whoever ends up winning the election in Iran, the fact that there’s been a robust debate hopefully will help advance our ability to engage them in new ways.’ -Obama June 12, 2009

Whoever ends up winning? You must be joking, am I the only person who thought that the only possible outcome would have been an Ahmadinejad victory? Free and fair elections in Iran under Ahmadinejad and the ruling clerics, methinks not!

As protesters take to the street and rooftops, I cannot help but wonder where all this will go? Will the protest force freedom to ring or will their voices be denied as we have seen in so many places? Hopefully, the world will come to support the Iranian protesters. It is in everyone’s best interest that they prevail or at least get a true and strong voice in the Iranian government.
