Iran Makes Stunning Admission, Reveals Just How It Helped 9/11 Hijackers
Quote:A senior Iranian official reportedly went on state television and explained that the government surveilled the September 11 hijackers and facilitated their air travel.
“Our government agreed not to stamp the passports of some of them because they were on transit flights for two hours,” Iranian international affairs assistant Mohammad-Javad Larijani said last month.
Larijani confirmed that Al-Qaeda was in contact with Iranian intelligence, which also supervised the hijackers' movements.
He said that the hijackers “were resuming their flights without having their passports stamped. However, their movements were under the complete supervision of the Iranian intelligence.”
“The Americans,” Larjani said, “took this as evidence of Iran's cooperation with Al-Qaeda and viewed the passage of an airplane through Iran's airspace, which had one of the pilots who carried out the attacks and a Hezbollah military leader sitting (next to) him on board, as evidence of direct cooperation with Al-Qaeda through the Lebanese Hezbollah.”

Uh, how else would we possibly view that?
I'm sure Obama knew this as he worked to make a deal with them. No one will ever convince me that he is not a Muslim sympathizer and was anxious to see that religion spread in the U.S.

Should have been viewed as an act of war. As quickly as the US went into Iraq, I believe if the Bush admin had known this we would have been in Iran as well and I'm not sure the world wouldn't be a much better place if the US had just cut a path across the middle east from Iraq all the way to India.
I would be shocked if this wasn't known sometime before Obama signed his Iran deal.

So Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11?

Can't draw that conclusion from just this info if you are being objective.

Not directly, but Saddam was harboring Islamic terrorist training camps. In addition to having weapons of mass destruction (the chemical kind), I don't care what the revisionist history says.
