What I'm saying is they knew the attacks were coming, ether because "AQ" was carrying it out or they themselves were going to (I don't know & nether do you). Once you see it coming and you need a massive disaster to drive the people to war you want to make it as big as possible. To make it as big as possible you plant steel cutting explosives (I believe thermite is classified as an explosive) in the target so that it turns out as bad as possible with the buildings going down. If the building didn't go down the emotional impact of the attack would have been much much less. It wouldn't take thousands of people to place explosives at key points in the building. A small team with total access could do the job easy. They weren't stripping the building, they were planting explosives.
As for WMD's in Iraq, they all ready got what they wanted, why tempt fate?
So how dout those temps in the rubble?

This theory is even sillier than "the government did it". So you think the government knew the targets and the day far enough in advance that they could rig two ~1400 ft buildings and a ~600 ft building for demolition? All with nobody noticing? Not only that, but they knew exactly where the planes would hit since the buildings failed at the strike zone. Even more, they managed to create some sort of capsule for this thermite that wouldn't be destroyed by an airliner slamming into it. You are severely underestimating the logistics of rigging a building of this size for demolition. Especially doing it while tens of thousands of people are working there daily.
I've yet to see any actual evidence of pools of molten steel in the rubble pile. There were certainly still pockets that were smoldering, but that's no different from other piles of burning material. That doesn't provide any evidence for thermite being used. Especially not in the tiny quantity you have implied they used. In the broadest definition, thermite could be considered an explosive, but then so is a piece of wood.
Once again, it comes back to "why?". Why make the plan so complicated? Why rely on an external enemy to help hatch your diabolical plot? Why kill thousands of your own people to start a war in Afghanistan when apparently a lie worked just as well for Iraq. Why bother rigging WTC 7? Did they also rig 3, 4, 5, and 6? All of this is just regarding the WTC, there is a whole host of theories for the Pentagon and Flight 93 that further complicate things.
