DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri called President Bush a "lying failure" for saying progress had been made in the war on terrorism, according to a video posted on the Internet on Friday.

... damn, it would be terrible to sound just like this guy. huh?

I understand what you mean, but just because you may not approve of the Bush Administration, it's unfair to lump someone into the same category as this guy. It is our right and our responsibility to question our elected officials. I don't believe it's constructive to say Bush is a "lying failure", but if I disagree with our president, I am not going apologize for exercising my right as an American citizen to be critical of his performance.

It's natural for us to want to be able to disagree with whatever our enemy says, but we shouldn't do it simply because we think it might make us similar to them. If Adolf Hitler said, "The sky is blue", are we going to say "No, it's not"?

The Right Wing has said not supporting the President is unpatriotic...

If you say Bush is Hitler..we're all falling asleep...zzzzzz.

Everyone we don't like gets compared to Hitler or the Nazis, don't they? Remember that neat little list of items showing how Hitler and Bush are alike? Surprise...there was a very similar list in the 90s that had him compared to Clinton. Thats a tired old way of arguing, really.

Remember Durbin called our own damn troops Nazis...didn't he? Big deal.

A Nazi/Hitler reference is a tired old tactic..it is simply losing steam. Jst as blaming any drastic change in our weather on global warming...its all getting old and nobodys taking it seriously anymore.

So...some terrorist leader called Bush a "lying failure"...thats news? Whats next...a Teddy Kenedy rant on tax cuts for the wealthy?

zzzzzz zzzzz zzzzz

Man..,its a slow newsday, is it not?

(and don't start in with that "you must be a Bush supporter" BS to me, because that won't fly around here, either)

I'm not sure I understand your response. I attempted to point out how eerily similar our enemy and Bush's political opponents sound. It must feel awkward. I can only hope.
