In his most provocative anti-US speech to date, Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad brazenly questioned whether al Qaeda’s Sept. 11, 2001 attack on New York actually took place in an address marking Iran’s Nuclear Technology day, April 8. He went on to ask why the US had never released the names of the thousands of dead in the Trade Center attacks and how the most advanced security, intelligence and tracking devices in the world had failed to detect the hijackers’ planes before they struck the two New York towers. [Apparently Ahmadinejad didn’t read the papers on that memorable day when the names of all the victims were printed and beamed around the world.Ahmadinejad is famous also for denying the Nazi Holocaust.
Announcing earlier that Iran had begun installing 6,000 new advanced (P2) centrifuges for uranium
enrichment at Natanz, the Iranian president claimed his country’s nuclear program had passed the point of no-return technologically and politically. According to Ahmadinejad, America is disintegrating politically, militarily and economincally and therefore, Iran’s nuclear achievement will change the international order of power that has been in place since world War II.
By going full steam ahead with uranium enrichment, Iran is flouting three UN Security Council resolutions and standing fast against threats, sanctions and incentives offered by the West to halt a process capable of producing nuclear weapons.
Instead, Tehran is installing a new generation of advanced P2 centrifuges to replace the older P-1 machines and accelerate enrichment. He claims they are five times cheaper than the commercial machines.

Everytime I read something like that I just can’t stop wonder: “What the heck is the rest of the world waiting for to ACT?” or – to put it a little more dramatic – “How the heck are they gonna say ‘We didn’t know about it’ this time?”
thanks for posting

Welcome to my blog Migdalit,
Some claim that Ahmadinejad is mistranslated. I visited such a blog, and read the link the blogger provided making this claim, even printed it out to analyze the claims that he is mistranslated. I really gave it a fair shot, as I’d like to believe that he is indeed mistranslated. Who wants another tyrant threatening to destroy all the Jews or Israel out there AGAIN?!? I’m tired of the whole game.
I’m sorry to say, I didn’t really see much of a claim to that effect. At some point, I may post something on the article linked which makes this claim. In my opinion, the alleged mistranslations that were covered in that article are merely a disagreement on choice of words, but not on Ahmadinejad’s basic message of holocaust denial, and hatred of the “Zionist entity”. These people try to make a distinction between “Zionists” and Jews, but I can’t see any difference at all, even though I well realize that not all Jews are Zionists. That’s because the vast majority of Zionists, at least those who live in what the antisemites call the “Zionist entity” happen to be Jewish.
