Before 9/11 the Taliban outlawed the growing of drugs in Afghanistan (taliban threatened their masters profit).
So US prepared an invasion before 9/11 but needed an excuse to invade. After 9/11 the US had the excuse to invade and restored the Afghanistan drug trade to its former glory.

So basically you only want to talk to people who agree with you and don't challenge you?
Cute.
I guess I was trying to create the stay on topic thread, But I play nice and I do not make the rules, so be it I am OK with that.. Guess my very first thread is a fail, oh well live and learn..

Sorry to tell you this, but that's just not on.
"Gatekeeping" isn't how we do things here. Anyone is welcome to post in any thread. If that's a problem, perhaps ATS isn't where you need to be.

That's not strictly correct, there are or were closed forums for debate..not so long ago I might add.

Very much a fail.
So when a fellow truther posts a misleading image, say like one comparing the collapse of the towers to a underground nuclear bomb, you're more than happy to blindly accept it as gospel, and will in fact encourage such rubbish?
Is that the aim of such a thread? Zero critical thinking with lot's of back slapping?
Oh those silly OSer's, how dare they question the ridiculous!

Woah woah woah, I'm a paid up conservative? I had no idea. Must be why I voted for a democratic president, two democratic senators, and my local rep (though the dem got his ass handed to him in that race).
I get it I get it, I peed in your cornflakes so we must flail about to score stars. Don't worry guy, I'll leave now. Nothing to discuss, as we all agree the OS isn't legit.
You can even score some more stars with a witty comment dismissing me now that I'm leaving
