Post subject: | Bush: Flight 93 First Counter-Attack in WWIII |
Quote: 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. "It was, it was unbelievably heroic of those folks on the airplane to recognize the danger and save lives," he said. 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. The president has repeatedly praised the heroism of the passengers in fighting back and so launching the first blow of what he usually calls the "war on terror". In 2002, then-White House spokesman Ari Fleischer explicitly declined to call the hunt for Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda group and its followers "World War III." http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060505/pl ... 0505220719 He's not even trying anymore. |

Bush declares WW3. How low can those poll numbers go. Notice that his father's generation fought the cold war, so by calling the war on terror WW3, Bush is saying that his war is more important than his daddy's war. |

In Bush's defense, this is probably just more of the rhetorical garbage he says every day and will probably forget in a day or so, if he hasn't already. They've said in the past that this isn't even a war (when they were arguing why they didn't have to follow the Geneva Convention for humane treatment of detainees). So if this isn't a war, then it can't be WWIII. |

Well, ot be fair, how much other happy stuff happened during his time in the office, hehe. you know .. as much as i don't agree with his policy, he could have said that the happiest moment in his term was launching his fight against terror or the capture of someone important or doing something important for the american peopel. people may have disagreed with it but at least his intentions would have been better. Fish!?!? Its like my sister paying for me to come see her after years and me telling her that the best part of the entire thing was this egg i ate at a restaurant |

President George W Bush has said that his best moment in more than five years in office was catching a big fish in his own lake. "You know, I've experienced many great moments and it's hard to name the best," Mr Bush told the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. "I would say the best moment was when I caught a 7.5lb large-mouth bass on my lake." The article said best not happiest, I misparaphrased. Most of Bush's troubles were of his own making. The Iraq war was optional, the deficits created by his own policies and he refused to veto any spending bill no matter how extravagant. |

Archie, the veto part is not as easy as you make it out to be. Say, for instance, the Dems had the control of both houses through the 1990's. Do you think it would be easy for Clinton to veto a spending bill that his own party passed? It's more about Republicans turning back on the whole 'Contract with America' spiel, than anything else. |
