World War 3?

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US
President George W. Bush said the September 11 revolt of passengers against their hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first blow of "World War III."


In an interview with the financial news network CNBC, Bush said he had yet to see the recently released film of the uprising, a dramatic portrayal of events on the United Airlines plane before it crashed in a Pennsylvania field.

But he said he agreed with the description of David Beamer, whose son Todd died in the crash, who in a Wall Street Journal commentary last month called it "our first successful counter-attack in our homeland in this new global war -- World War III".

Bush said: "I believe that. I believe that it was the first counter-attack to World War III.


This explains so much...

This is too damned important to stay in GD. I think I just had an "Oh, My God" moment here.

4. COUNTER-ATTACK?!?!?!?!

7. No, he's claiming that the people on Flight 93 launched a counter-attack
Hey, everyone, let's believe the government about what happened on Flight 93 and go see that movie about the first martyrs in WWIII! It must be just how it's portrayed in the movie. The government wouldn't lie to us.

:sarcasm:
