Former Prime Minister of Malaysia says 9/11 was staged
‘If they can make Avatar, they can make anything’
There is strong evidence that the Sept 11 attacks on the United States that killed nearly 3,000 could have been ‘staged’ as an excuse to mount attacks on the Muslim world, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
‘I am not sure now that Muslim terrorists carried out these attacks. There is evidence that the attacks were staged.
‘If they can make Avatar, they can make anything,’ the former prime minister told a press conference here yesterday after delivering his speech at the General Conference for the Support of Al-Quds to aid the Palestinians.
He said killing innocent people to provide an excuse for war was not new to the US.
‘But whether real or staged, the 9/11 attacks have served the United States and Western countries well. They have an excuse to mount attacks on the Muslim world,’ he added.

Sitting together on a train…
Sitting together on a train was Obama, George W. Bush, a little old lady, and a young blonde girl with large breasts.
The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap.
When the train emerges from the tunnel, Obama has a bright red hand print on his cheek. No one speaks.
The old lady thinks:
Obama must have groped the blonde in the dark, and she slapped him.
The blonde girl thinks:
Obama must have tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled the old lady and she slapped him.
Obama thinks:
Bush must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead.
George Bush thinks:
I can’t wait for another tunnel, so I can smack Obama again.
