The medical examiner has identified the remains of 1,500 World Trade Center victims, a milestone that represents slightly more than half the number of people killed.

Chief Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch has said his goal is to eventually reach 2,000 identifications, but has acknowledged that could take years as DNA technology improves.

Some remains were burned or otherwise degraded so badly that their DNA may never yield results. Other victims were essentially vaporized in the collapse, and likely won't be found.

I know it's almost 2 years since the 9/11 attacks but we must never forget the reason we are fighting! I know I will never forget! :-(

One of my parents neighbors (a firefighter, who was the brother of a guy I went to high school with) was lost in the collapse of the South Tower and hasn't been identified yet.

For his family's sake, I hope he is someday.

I will never forget, either.

Never forget what happened there, whether it is 2 years or 200.

Their blood will be avenged, drop by terrible drop...

Radical Islam will be destroyed.

Just the thought of those people standing outside my door disturbs me.

My heart goes out to the families of the people who died.

I will NEVER forget.

Our best friends sister and bro-in-law are still in denial. They live this fantasy that their daughter will some day come home. There were no remains. She worked in one of the financial offices at the top of the tower. She isn't coming home.

Lets also put this into context. the WTC certainly was a tragedy, but we lose 3000 American lives each day due to abortion. Still, our population increases by 3000 each day or two due to immigration, regardless of 3000 dying daily. Yes, it was bad, but 3000 people dying did not cause this economic depression we are in. We are not fighting in Iraq because of the 17 people who did this, because most of them(14) were Saudi's from Saudi Arabia, not Iraqis. Too many people are trying to put all the blame of everything, the war, and the economy, on the WTC incident, and on Iraq.

Personal loss of a loved one plays interesting tricks on you. You'd think people could rationalize their loved ones fates, but you just can't always. I think it's best to face the facts and move on, either that or it will take a very heavy toll. Each person has to find their own way. Very very sad. Very very unnecessary. I just get such a sense of futility over this.

Well I didn't specifically say Iraq. We are still fighting in Afghanistan you know and that was because of the World Trade Center!

Did I miss something? I thought the article was about ID-ing the remains of those killed in the World Trade center.

To quote the President (11 Dec '01):
For those of us who lived through these events, the only marker we'll ever need is the tick of a clock at the 46th minute of the eighth hour of the 11th day. We'll remember where we were and how we felt. We'll remember the dead and what we owe them. We will remember what we lost and what we found. And in our time, we will honor the memory of the 11th day by doing our duty as citizens of this great country, freedom's home and freedom's defender.

And ... (8 Nov '01):
Ours is the cause of freedom. We've defeated freedom's enemies before, and we will defeat them again.
We cannot know every turn this battle will take, yet we know our cause is just and our ultimate victory is assured. We will no doubt face new challenges, but we have our marching orders.
My fellow Americans, let's roll.

The hell it didn't. It had a huge impact on our economy.

The Massacre of September 11th.
Never, never, never, never forget what subhuman Mooooos-lim garbage and Islamic pigshit (my apologies to pigs) terrorist filth did to the US on 9-11-01. To put the destruction into proper scale, this GroundZero photo essay helps. As do these remarkable photos, even more drive home the point that it was a massacre of innocents. And if you'd like to ratchet your anger and hatred up, as mine has been since that awful day last September, read this account of the dozens of people jumping from 100+ stories from the WTC Towers. As this reporter says, "embrace the rage". And The Washington Times weighs-in with their commemorative edition of 9-11 horror.

Here's the live thread, on freerepublic.com, and the ongoing posts that I caught on that terrible morning, as it happened.

Here's a 9-11 News Site, which covers it, superbly. As if we needed reminding.

Here are the 2998 Victims of The Massacre of September 11th, 2001. As of 6.19.03, only 1,500 of the innocent victims have been identified; the rest were vaporized. Are you getting angry, again, as I am?

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000; President Rapist-Liar-in-Chief Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel; Rapist-Liar-in-Chief Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Rapist-Liar-in-Chief Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Rapist-Liar-in-Chief Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 US sailors; Rapist-Liar-in-Chief Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. Maybe if Rapist-Liar-in-Chief Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC, that are now dead, would be alive today. The Criminal Clinton lowlifes Klintoon Kriminals; ahhhhh, what a pair!

Need to keep up your anger, hate and rage quotient, for The Massacre of 9-11? Go to Toby Keith's site, or Darryl Worley's site; here's the video to that song.

I don't want justice; I want revenge! Never forget.

What? What sort of context is this?

I don't think anyone believes that 911 is the raison d'etre for war. The fact is that the ME is a hotbed of terrorism exported to the West. That has been true for at least two decades. ~Death to America~ has been the cry for at least 25 years. They mean it.

We will end that terrorism wherever it exists. It will not be allowed to fester here. Whoever stands in the way of America will be rolled over.

There is no compromise.
