No the answer is that the supreme court does make the argument, and I quote when they made it. I'll quote it again without all the context so that you can recognize it easier, you can always go back if you want the context.

"The D. C. Circuit ruled Common Article 3 inapplicable to Hamdan because the conflict with al Qaeda is international in scope and thus not a "conflict not of an international character. " That reasoning is erroneous."

The USSC is defining a conflict of international character to be a conflict between nations. Since Al Qaeda is not a nation the Supreme Court says that the conflict against Al Qaeda is not of international character.

The part you quoted doesn't refute my assertion it supports it.
