Much has been made of Newt's MTP comment regarding WW3 - and global jihad. Newt suggested that Bush call it that.

Er um W did - on May 5th: BREITBART (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."

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.
