Should the Global War On Terror have been originally named The War Against Al-Queda?

TOPIC: Today the White House announced that after careful research and study of terrorist events since 11 Sept 2001 it was incorrect to name the military mission against the 9/11 attackers as "The Global War on Terror". Analysts, diplomats, world leaders and historians unanimously agree that no "global war on terror" existed in 2001 or now. All agree that the proper designation for military operations against the 9/11 attackers, network and host country(s) should have been designated: "The War Against Al-Queda".
