For a more detailed take on the whole thermite case:
Once the plan was approved upon by the state, work began on implementation. We have one of the Presidents nephews take control of security at WTC, helps to keep this stuff close in the family. Larry Silverstein got a lease on the buildings and made sure the insurance was up to date.
It took months to properly plan and implement the necessary things for a controlled demolition on the scale of WTC, as it does. These things do not happen overnight. Different programs went on in the building under different covers. We have the Israelites quickly popping their head up again to document the event in a room full of demolition equipment along the way. Once most of the hard preparation work was done and in the final week to countdown, the sniffer dogs where taken away and the explosives, thermite and what ever else they used to bring it all down was put in place.
After the planes hit and the data transfers had taken place, Larry Silverstein in coordination with Richard Cheney, gave the command to his team to 'Pull it'. Richard was the one in control that day with his seat at the Pentagon and the one who had to keep it all together. GW Bush just lost it at trying to pull this off so they stuck him back in class while it went on. Not much GW Bush could do, he was born into it with his father and the CIA.
STILL not getting it. This is what I meant about having to explain to conspiracy theorists what they're claiming before you can explain what they got wrong.

Nope. Why should I put together a nice tidy presentation?

I guess understanding that the military does play by a different set of rules is a part of why things went down the way they did on 9/11.

“When we sat down with Clarke … he told us he couldn’t see any other explanation but that there was an op [and] that it never made it to the White House because it would have had to go through him,” says Nowosielski. “And his friend [then CIA Director] George Tenet was responsible for malfeasance and misfeasance in the runup to 9/11.”
Once the plans for the 9/11 attack must have become clear to the CIA, why didn’t the agency prevent it from taking place? Duffy and Nowosielski come to the simple, shocking conclusion that because the CIA is prohibited from operating on U.S. soil, those involved in the operation chose to avoid prosecution rather than come clean.
In a well-documented case study that touches senior government officials, including current special counsel Robert Mueller and other high-level individuals, crucial questions arise about who is responsible for allowing “a plot that resulted in 3,000 murders” and led to ongoing U.S. military entanglements in the Middle East to move forward. However, our country’s recent crimes and the people behind them, including President Bush, are currently being “whitewashed” by our national obsession with Donald Trump, the authors warn.

I don't know, will just have to make it up along the way I guess.
It’s what the truth movement does. Makes up mythology and ignores actual facts.....

Or perhaps it is knowing which fights are worth fighting for. Not much point in getting you teeth knock out over some stupid bar room remark.
