It's about time. We should have been calling it that on the morning of 12 September 2001.

[pillut48]

Let's see:

It's a war. Check.
It involves every country of the world. Check.

WW3 it is.

[paul51]

iran is determined to provoke an attack, quite possibly nuclear. Then we will see WWIII

[jimfree]

WW3, WW4, whatever. It's world war.

Flight 93 crashed on the morning of September 11, 2001, killing the 33 passengers, seven crew members and four hijackers, after passengers stormed the cockpit and battled the hijackers for control of the aircraft.

Technically speaking, at least some of the crewmembers were killed during the initial takeover and it is quite likely other crew, passengers and hijackers died during the struggle before the crash.

The way it is worded implies that the the passengers were responsible for the crash. I object. The plane was going to crash anyway. All the heroic passengers did was change the crash site from the Capitol to a pasture.

[the invisib1e hand]

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".

I missed this piece. Does anyone have a link to it? thx.

[newzjunkey]

Seems a little late to be using this terminolgy. I'm not sure if it fits because clearly not many are actively involved involved in this World War effort.

[kimosabe31]

Great rhetoric from the president. Let's hope he comes to the realization that our pourous borders and our south of the border neighbor are an achilles heal in fighting WW III.

[airborne]

And its a Holy War.

[SandRat]

In other news the French government and populace view the War On Terror as the second Dien Phen Bu.

[F.J. Mitchell]

The war on terror is WWIII. Why do so many pretend otherwise?

[walford]

Actually WWIII was the Cold War. We won that.

This other one has been going on since...well, when? Since the birth of Israel? Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire? Since Mohammed launched the first Holy War against the Infidel?

[BallyBill]

3,4, whatever it takes. What surprises me is that someone in the media thought this was newsworthy. If GWB had said it was WWII, that might be newsworthy if you're suffering from BDS.

"It's about time. We should have been calling it that on the morning of 12 September 2001."

A few people did.

The inspired knew it instantly. The truly enlightened knew it 10 to 20 years prior.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

You read my mind, he should've announced it loud and clear on Sept. 12th, 2001.

[Supernatural]

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought with. But World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones"...Albert Einstein.

[onedoug]

Then what is he waiting for?

[beethovenfan]

Now if Bush will just stop with that "religion of peace"
bullcrap.

[Grut]

He wishes. It's about half the US against the jihadis, with everybody else (honorable mention to the Brits, Aussies, Danes, etc.) standing around looking po-faced.

A World War, in the sense of a war that everybody's fighting? Ha!

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Unlike W.W.II -- the last time that the left supported the U.S. in war -- the enemy's propaganda machine has free rein here. Everywhere from members of Congress to the MSM and universities to web sites like DU and Daily Cuss the enemy's propaganda machine keeps going.

The world knows that no one can beat our military but our government can be -- and has been -- defeated. No more Vietnams! This one is for all the marbles.

[Right-Wing Champion]

Dozens of nations have been wounded by Islamic terrorism. The safety of the entire free world is at stake. Over 20 countries have pledged military aid to this fight. Our enemy is any dictator or people that do not renounce terror. THE WAR ON TERROR, FROM AFHGANISTAN TO IRAQ TO IRAN, IS WORLD WAR III.

It's about time Commander W dubs this what it really is.

God bless him, our troops, and our America.
