Al Qaeda Calls Bush an 'Alcoholic Liar'
<snip>

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."

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

4. They are really hitting below the belt over there at al Qaeda
I mean yeah his actions have led to the deaths of tens of thousands, but saying he has an addictive personality? That really hurts.

9. They forgot "cokehead."
Or, perhaps, "former cokehead."
