US diplomats lead walkout as the Iranian president tells UN General Assembly some think the US was behind 9/11 attacks

US diplomats and other Western delegations have walked out of a United Nations summit as the Iranian president said some believe the 9/11 attacks on the US was the work of Americans to save Israel.

Two US officials led the walkout as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the General Assemly in New York on Thursday. They were quickly followed by the British and other Western delegations.

Ahmadinejad said there was a theory that "some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime

Well. Many people think so. Google the topic and see whats there.

I have read about this US masterminding 9/11 attack too. But I don't think it is true.

If it isn't true, they shouldn't walk out then .  Arrogance was displayed by simply walking out during that speech, anyway, that's their own prerogative .

I wish African leaders could all get up and walk out if one of the african countries was disrespected. Hopefully that day shall soon come to pass.

All those things he was spewing was it all the most pressing issues facing Iran in the International community? He is lucky he is here on a UN umbrella if not he will have to be escorted.

Hw knew what he was doing. He purposely said it to ruffle feathers.It was not a blunder out of anger or ignorance. How can you expect to continuously boss a sovereign nation and not expect to someday stumble upon a Rock? Although he definitely could have gone about it in another tone, i respect him for doing what African leaders except literally a couple would never think of doing, out of a sense of inferiority.

By the way, Ahmadinejad said it out of inferiority complex, and US staged their walk out to protect their pride (which I think everybody should have). Compare and contrast Obama's speech with Ahmedinejad

By Ahmedinejad's demeanor, I seriously doubt that guy feels inferior to the westerners. I saw the move as a stance to reaffirm that he and his country can hold there own and have a right to govern their nation without adhering to directions from the western world. Look at how advanced Iran is. and when i say that,dont go by what their enemy countries portray about Iran.

I like the way the US staged a walk out to protect their pride,many countries(African) should do the same whenever they fill insulted to a high degree. And as far as Obama is concerned, he's from "The Greatest Country in the World" of course his swagger is going to be different. His country is not the conquered or bullied, it is the country the conquers and does the bullying so there is really no comparing the two.

Una don bring your foreign conspiracy crap to this section - please allow that poo to remain in the foreign section.

Obama - discussed issues, suggesting solutions, inviting others (especially neighbours of Israel and Palestine) to do all they can to bring about two state solution living in peace and assisting Palestinians to build their own country

Ahmedinejad - discussed rumors, conspiracy of America against itself, and other childish talks that no Arab delegates could monster support to.

You need to read more international news then. Walking out to express disapproval is not new. The Arab nations do it infrequently especially when Israel and palestine is up for discussion.
This is not a brothel. Do you expect them to engage in shouting matches? When someone make such a ludicrous accusation, accusing a country of slaughtering 3000 of some of their brightest people, what do you expect them to do?

@ blacksta Dem force you enter this section? Haba this incidence happened just yestaday and its more political than politics.If you are not for or against his claims then simply mute yourself.Haba is it by force to comment.

I know that walking out is not new but they could  have listened especially since they show excessive concern about Iran. Coexisting with one another often requires listening on both parties especially when it's uncomfortable. One can call his 9/11 comment a conspiracy but that doesn't remove the doubts that continually surrounds that day, eitherway, that's only a limited part of the speech.
Also did all of EU have to play sheeple? (simply follow along, have they not got a mind of their own?) - talk of group mentality displayed by the leaders.

Walk-outs happen all the time and if I'm not mistaken, ME entourages have walked out on Jewish speakers in the past. Its simply a method of protest. No big deal.

Just saw this . . .

Very true.

Like i said earlier, it is their prerogative

Guess his message was too Hot for them to handle, not all can handle hot water.

Arrogance? I think not. If An American went to Tehran and spouted conspiracy theories about the Ayatollah, you can be sure such an individual would not be walking out of Iran alive. Dont come to NY and insult your host. Basic common sense . . . too bad i'm a dinner jacket didnt know that.

Although I dont quite agree with all the iranian president views, but one thing is for sure he was right when he said 9/11 was an inside job!!!

Ahmadinejad is playing hardball with leaks on the Pentagon papers. The documents were never de-classified but wikileak got its hand on it and published. Govt responded immediately and shut their server down and then put the docs back under seal but not fast enough that few subscribers had already received copies. It's a long story! Those who heard 'Nejad's speech know his reference came directly from those government documents.

That document, in some sections lays the tactical approach to wage war in the Middle East. The approach is a direct interpretation of the ideologies already framed by Neo-Cons in their "New American Century" prospectus.

This inferrence by 'Nejad is a weapon in Iran's backpocket to dominate the talks with Americans.
