“‘We have documents that prove [Washington] is the root of world terrorism,” Ahmadinejad said in a speech in Tehran, Press TV reported. “It has been aiding and abetting extremist groups over the past years.’
The United States ‘is the only country to have used the atomic bomb in military conflict,’ Ahmadinejad said Saturday, according to Press TV. ‘They even admit themselves that they resorted to using [similar weapons] during the war they waged on Iraq.’
The United States has not admitted using such weapons in the Iraq war.”

I’m a little confused here. I’m sure by “They even admit themselves that they resorted to using [similar weapons] during the war they waged on Iraq,” Ahmadinejad meant the exact opposite. Or did I miss something?
Ahmadinejad firmly believes the US has used some form of nuclear weaponry on Iraq–CNN reports in the next sentence that the US has not used said weaponry. The quotation mark at the end of the sentence implies that Admadinejad contradicts himself. While he is wildly deranged, he did not actually contradict himself in his statement.http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/05/02/ahmadinejad.us/index.html
