Very roughly: SU(3)XSU(2)XU(1) splits cleanly, as a Cartesian product, into strong SU(3) and electoweak SU(2)XU(1). The electroweak SU(2)XU(1) does not split cleanly into a weak SU(2) part and U(1) electromagnetism part. Weak SU(2) is a "mixture" of stuff in SU(2)XU(1); electromagnetism U(1) is a "mixture" of stuff in SU(2)XU(1).
So, I agree with

Well, I don't think the strong force has been combined with the other two. There is just an electroweak theory which covers electromagnetism and weak force together!
