Now the President of Iran isn't the only World Leader saying the 9/11 attack wasn't all it's said to be. Americans don't want to know the truth even when clear evidence shows the US and Saudis knew in advance of the attack. When the truth comes out Americans will have to face the fact we were lied to and the Media reported the lies. China already made the same speech.

Lieberman is a Republican and has been since he won office. It's no surprise that he would publicly join his party. He made the voters of Connecticut look like fools as get got the Democratic votes by openly lying.
