WASHINGTON: United States President George W Bush has 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 on Friday, 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 counterattack in our homeland in this new global war – World War III".
Bush said, "I believe that. I believe that it was the first counterattack to World War III.
"It was, it was unbelievably heroic of those folks on the airplane to recognise 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.
Cheney rebuke angers Russian press
BBC
Russian newspapers are taken aback by the criticisms of the Kremlin voiced by US Vice-President Dick Cheney at an eastern European summit in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Several take the view that the speech marks an attempt by the US to set up an anti-Russian regional grouping in place of the Moscow-led Commonwealth of Independent States.
One thinks the speech marks the resumption of the post-1945 Cold War, only with a new "front line".
Get these fvcktard clowns out of office now.President George W. Bush stunned Washington on Friday by accepting the resignation of CIA Director Porter J. Goss, and Republican sources told TIME that the White House plans to name his replacement on Monday: Air Force General Michael V. Hayden, who as Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence has been a visible and aggressive defender of the administration's controversial eavesdropping program. His nomination is sure to reignite the battle over the program on Capitol Hill, where one House Democrat promises "a partisan food fight" during the confirmation process.
