Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center, page 2

There are a few things I don't get about this claim about thermite...

First, if my understanding is correct, thermite is Little more than powdered aluminum with maybe Some other components. Since the towers were famous for being clad in aluminum, how can there not be "traces of aluminum" found in the wreckage? Claiming the residue must be thermite is like saying a bakery must have secretly been brewing beer because yeast was found there.

You're misrepresenting what was found in the wreckage. It's a lot more than "traces of aluminum."

There'd be no way to hide it from the, what, 50,000 people who worked in the towers, not to mention the army of full time custodians, inspectors, electricians, etc. whose Job it was to inspect every nook and cranny in their Job duties anyway.

Just curious why you wouldn't believe the firefighters who saw flashing lights during the detonations and who said it looked just like a controlled demolition, or the WTC building engineer who heard explosions from the sub-levels both before and after the planes impacted the towers?

It's one thing to conclude it would've been too massive and sophisticated to be a controlled demolition, but another to ignore or dismiss the MANY witnesses who heard "secondary explosions" or the firefighters and law enforcement who warned of "secondary devices."

Third, the girders didn't Just evaporate when the towers fell. They Littered the whole area, and despite the hundreds of volunteers and workmen at ground Zero, not one, not one living soul, ever found evidence of melted or cut girders. I've seen the photos, and all the girders were snapped Like twigs or broken at the Joints, not cut.

Not true. There are many photos of standing girders at the base cut at an angle. I've also read posts from professional salvage workers who say they'd NEVER cut beams at an angle. It's not only much more difficult, but highly dangerous.

Then there's the most glaring problem: Bush was a putz. An administration that couldn't even give bottles of water to hurricane survivors in New Orleans without slipping on banana peels, or out a CIA agent without hordes of Journalists tracing it back to him, could hardly pull off the most complex conspiracy in recorded human history with the sheer flawless perfection of a Supernatural act without leaving so much as a whisper of evidence behind.

What makes you think Bush was anything more than a trained chimp who did what he was told? If you think Cheney, Rumsfeld and the PNAC "New Pearl Harbor" cabal was incapable of pulling this off, well, you should think again.

It's a much bigger stretch to argue that 9/11 could've been missed by U.S. intelligence agencies or intercepted by fighter jets over several hours by the world's most sophisticated military.

And what makes you think there wasn't a "whisper of evidence" left behind? There's more than enough evidence (or lack of evidence) in the Pentagon and WTC 7 alone (not to mention the "dancing Israelis" who were arrested on 9/11 attempting to blow up the George Washington bridge) for any competent prosecutor to get a criminal conviction.

Yeah, It's fun to hypothesize conspiracies as a mental exercise, but trying to flesh them out in the real world doesn't always work. If anything I posted is incorrect, please enlighten me.

For anyone who's taken the time and effort to investigate 9/11 beyond the ridiculous and impossible official story, it's way beyond hypothesis, but there's nothing fun about it. To think that our own government is capable of first degree mass murder of their own citizens is horrific and unsettling.
