6. Why doesn't he just get to the point?
Bush is a person with absolutely no sense of empathy. He cares about his rich friends and about making them richer. So what if 600,000 people get killed while he makes a few extra bucks for Halliburton? So what if the rest of the middle east gets shafted? Being an alcoholic, gambler, whatever is really inconsequential after this.

1) Yeah, Bush is all of that. The whole world knows. His performance as a president is the best proof.

2) Fuck Al Zawahiri.

8. And Zawahiri
is a murderous terrorist scumbag. What else is new?

Flaming rhetoric is better than flaming bombs I guess, though there seems to be enough of them to go around.

20. Oh no he didn't. That bastard insulted us:
""I don't know his present condition — Americans know best about that, as they are experts in alcohol and addiction to it — but the one who exams his personality finds that he is addicted to two other faults, lying and gambling," Zawahiri said. "He has gone down in history as one of its most notorious liars," he added."

Yeah, and you're an angel buddy. I'm sick of conservatives, whether Christian or Muslim. :puke:

25. Those shitheads snuggle up around the hubble bubble and mix hashish with the tombac
You can get hashish (red seal, gold seal, the latter said to be better than the former) or opium in any bazaar with no trouble at all, so long as you know where to go. So they've got their own issues and this butthead has nerve suggesting otherwise.

In many middle eastern countries, they have a "red card" system at the pharmacies, where you can get your "medicinal" dose of heroin so you don't run around robbing people. I understand in Iran they've stopped that system, so now people have to sneak around to illegally buy their 'h.'

But if this asswipe is trying to suggest that addiction doesn't exist in the Muslim world, he's talking out his ass. It does. I've seen it. Hell, many Iranians sobbed like hell when Khomeini came to Teheran, because they knew that was the end of the Johnny Walker (widely distributed in country, along with Budweiser, the King of Beers)...once their stashes ran out, they were fucked.

26. Zawahiri also condemns American Democrats "as one side of the same coin of tyranny, criminality and


By BRIAN ROSS

Feb. 12, 2007 — The latest taped statement from al Qaeda is an unusually personal attack on President Bush, in which al Qaeda's No. 2 in command, Ayman al Zawahiri, denounces Bush as "an alcoholic, liar and gambler with an addictive personality."

Zawahiri delivers the attack in a 40-minute audio tape released overnight on Internet sites, and relayed to ABC News by an American terror analyst, Laura Mansfield.

On the tape, Zawahiri also condemns American Democrats "as one side of the same coin of tyranny, criminality and failure" for failing to challenge Bush policies as they said they would in the election.

The tape, apparently aimed at an American audience, contains English subtitles and a warning that American civilians are responsible for Bush policies because they "chose Bush twice."

Edited on Tue Feb-13-07 12:48 AM by MADem
and that bullshit line proved it. The Supreme Court chose him the first time, and the Ohio Players cheated him back into the WH the second time.

If someone would be so kind as to hold up the lighter, I'd be happy to fart in his general direction, the putz!

......The personal, intemperate attack on Bush was remarkable for the emotion and venom from the usually stoic Zawahiri.

"I don't know his present condition — Americans know best about that, as they are experts in alcohol and addiction to it — but the one who exams his personality finds that he is addicted to two other faults, lying and gambling," Zawahiri said. "He has gone down in history as one of its most notorious liars," he added.

Replace the voice with James Dobson, and it's a revelation to the unholy ....

Too bad Zawahiri is the messenger, considering the thug has the blood of thousands of innocents on his own hands ...

34. I read your subject title there and pictured Zawahiri phoning Dubya
from a phone booth in New Orleans.

He could hide in New Orleans without fear of detection. We know the Bush administration never sends anybody to New Orleans.

I'd wonder about the provenance of any Zawahiri tape as well, but at least the PNACers seem to have figured out that OBL tapes aren't going to fly anymore.

Bush mentioned Bin-Laden was not a priority. In itself that qualifies as incompetence I think.

38. Must be a new book coming out with a "drunken bush" story in it
Zawahiri has been uncanny lately -- somehow knowing that Rove would start the '06 election season 2 weeks before Labor day and having his "anti-surge" message in the pipeline even before the deciderer supposedly decidered.

Perhaps al queda has now infiltrated the publishing houses to read galleys.
