An idea for Truthers
Here is an idea for any and all 9/11 truthers our there. Apparently, the Port Authority of New York has been letting people around the country request pieces of WTC steel for use in their memorials. 9/11 Truthers - why not find some of these memorials and start swabbing them for explosives residue? Surely, the people who constructed the memorial will not mind you swabbing at them with q-tips for a while, and they can't have washed off EVERY molecule of residue from every single piece.
Surely a dab or two of incriminating evidence can still be found. Alternatively, why not join a cause and become involved in requesting your very own piece!? The evidence of CD must be here somewhere, and this is your chance to examine actual pieces of WTC steel to see! Come on people, let's get a movement going! http://buffalo.ynn.com/content/polit...oric-artifact/ |

Truthers consider any single ingredient of any type of explosive to be proof of demolition. If you could find an explosive with steel as an ingredient they would claim that it was used to build the WTC so they could blow it up sometime in the future.

The steel they are handing out is not from the WTC, it is from other sources. Hence no point in looking for traces of explosives. A better test would be to add up all the bits and see that, if put end to end, it would be several miles long. [/truther mode] |

The government will probably deactivate the nanothermite.

here is truther logic
Swab steel, find rust (iron oxide) Iron oxide is part of thermite Therefore steel was coated with thermite , which when detonated brought building down |

Can you name at least one of the anti-twooferist here at the JREF forums who advocates the continuation of the wars an bases this advocacy on 9/11? A link to a post by that anti-twooferist stating such a sentiment would be great, but a name would suffice, as we could then ask that person if you are correct in your assessment.
If you can't name even one anti-twooferist who holds this view, then we will know that you just made that stuff up. |

Despite being a great idea for anyone who truly DOES believe explosives brought down the Towers, Truthers will never actually do it, because...

I sorta miss that old thread. Every once in a while one of the subforum veterans would bump it, just to screw with everyone else.
I only posted once in that epic train wreck of a thread, but not until 2008. Man... I'm not going to lie; there are times I wondered about that. |

Please show where twoofers have said that all the steel was either "dustified" or shipped to China and, after that, provide details of how much steel was actually shipped to China (or recycled elsewhere) and how much was preserved.
Thank you. The "they" I was referring to was those who have used 9/11 as propaganda fuel for their bombings, invasions and occupations of Muslim countries. However, I don't want to spoil your fun on this humorous game thread so here are some anti-twooferist names for you to play with: Sword_Of_Truth, dtugg. |

For the record, I wish that the US would pull out of Iraq. If I didn't it would have nothing to do with 9/11. But rather to stabilize a country that we messed up. But that isn't going to work, so we should just cut our losses and let Muslims kill each other if they like.
As for Afghanistan, we should bring back most of the troops, but leave some special forces, and continue bombings/cruise missile strikes/drone strikes. Those savages murdered 3,000 people on 9/11 and would kill many more if they had the ability. So yeah, we should be whacking as many terrorists and their allies as reasonably possible. |

Thanks. So your position on the war in Afghanistan hinges on the veracity of the story that it was 19 muslim terrorists, acting on behalf of an organisaton that was than mainly based in Afghanistan? If it turned out, to all our vast surprise, that it wasn't Bin Laden's men, would that change your opinion on the current (2011) involvement in Afghanistan?

Jihad claims to not be a twoofer, so I wonder what she thinks the USA should have done in response to 9/11?

Oystein messaged me, I am copy and pasting my response to him below:
I supported the mission in Iraq for the reasons originally stated by the Bush administration. Numerous violations of UN resolutions, WMD violations, human rights abuses, support of terrorism (though they had nothing to do with 9/11) and so forth. |
