Al Qaeda’s number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, took time out from his busy schedule to call the Shrubbery a “loser” and say:
“My first message is to the butcher of Washington, Bush: You are not just defeated and lying about it, but you are, with God’s help, a loser,” he said. “You are bad luck to your people; you brought them disasters and catastrophes, and you will bring them even more disasters.”
