Qaeda launched 'WW-III': Bush
2006-05-07
President George W Bush said on Friday, in an interview with financial news network CNBC, that the September 11 passenger-revolt against hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first counter-blow to "World War III". "I believe that it was the first counter-attack to World War III. It was unbelievably heroic of those folks on the airplane to recognise the danger and save lives." Bush lamented that bad news from Iraq was drowning out what he called good news on the country's economy. "The problem is that we're in war, and sometimes it's hard for people to get a positive message about the economy when they're troubled by... scenes of violence on the TV screens. " That the US economy had created 138,000 new jobs in April, he said, was "an indication that this economy's still strong".

#4  Technically it's WWIV as cold war was WWIII fought through a series of proxy wars.
This war feels a lot hotter.


I think the folks who fought in Korea and Vietnam would differ. I'm calling it World War Version 4.0, The Islamic Fascist War.

so rhetorically it can make sense to call it WWIII

#2  nah, AH, that stuff with the old Soviet Union was pre-WWIII, just like those people who 'pre-board' airplanes before everyone else boards.

#1  Just like W to mis-count. I thought that we won WW III when the Soviet Union disintegrated and that WW IV began on 9/11.
