I saw this story last night, but could only find one source for it, in India, so I didn't trust it. It's now on Yahoo News, it's for real.
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."This kind of rhetoric provides a window into Bush's mind, and it's extremely disturbing. Bush has constantly talked about how God has given him messages, including to invade the Middle East. Now apparently God wanted America to get involved in World War III.
What Bush fails to appreciate is that World War III has always been a metaphor for doomsday, the end of the world. It's not some quaint phrase that brings back the glorious memories of our victory in World War II (days which weren't that quaint, by the way). Bush should know better than to invoke global war. Then again, that's assuming he didn't intend to suggest exactly what he said - that he's leading the battle of the end of times.
We have an incompetent joke as a president.
