In summary, Iranian President Ahmadinejad has claimed that the 9/11 terrorist attack was a "big lie" created to justify fighting terrorism and sending troops to Afghanistan. Many people, including those sympathetic to Islamic extremist groups and some US citizens and politicians, already believe this idea. However, it is likely that Ahmadinejad is using this misinformation for his own political gain.

The bombing of the world trade center was also a "big lie intended to serve as a pretext for fighting terrorism and setting the grounds for sending troops to Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad as said...

Sadly, he is only saying aloud what many self-proclaimed enemies of the US, and people sympathetic to the cause of Islamic extremist groups, already believe.

Oh brother, I bet he thinks the moon landings were "fake" too.

Hey guess what, it is for publicity. The more outrageous he is, the more media coverage he gets and the stronger his regime becomes.

He's not stupid. Yet if he can use misinformation to his advantage, then that's what he will always do.

Not to mention many US citizens and even some politicians.

Sorry folks. You can't see the deleted posts, but this thread predictably went rignt into the conspiracy zone. The idea was to promote a credible discussion of how disinformation is being used by Ahmadinejad for a political agenda, but there was really no hope of that happening, I suppose. :biggrin:
