Bush and World War III
In case you missed it....

Asked by CNBC's Larry Kudlow last Friday if he had seen "United 93," Pres. Bush said: "I have not. I wouldn't call it a lighter note. And I suspect the movie touched you."

Kudlow: "It did."

Bush: "And it's a -- it's a remembrance of the nature of the world in which we live. And it's also a remembrance of the heroic action that Americans were -- are willing to take in the face of danger. I haven't seen it yet. I will see it."

Kudlow said: "The late Scott Beamer's dad, David, was on our program. He wrote a great article in the Wall Street Journal, and he said, essentially, that when the passengers retook that plane, he called it the first counterattack for World War III."

Bush: "Yeah."

Kudlow: "I didn't know if you saw. I don't know if you have a thought on that."

Bush: "I believe that. I believe that it was the first counterattack of World War III. It was -- it was unbelievably heroic of the -- of those folks on the airplane to recognize the danger and -- and save lives" ("Kudlow & Company," CNBC, 5/5).

1. Lunatic.

Can't the President be removed from office for mental illness?

Seriously, is this the first time he's referred to the Warren Terra as "WWIII?" Or is it more commonplace than I realize?

2. Sounds like he's just parroting what Kudlow said.

Pretty much his SOP ... parroting what his handlers tell him.

3. Hmph. WW III supposedly starts and all he can do is sit in an

elementary school frozen with fear and indecision? Trapped civilians on a plane had to make the first "counterattack"? Oh, yeah, I feel safer.

9. Doesn't a World War have to involve more than one or two countries?

10. Smirk thinks that maybe if he calls the 'war on terra' he's

gonna go down in history as being a 'war president' yet.

Chucklenuts needs to be sedated and put in a room with some very soft walls.

[Supersedeas]

[acmavm]
