A leading daily newspaper has quoted Sir Ivor Roberts as calling Mr Bush "al-Qaeda's best recruiting sergeant."
Sir Ivor reportedly made the comment at a yearly meeting of British and Italian political and business leaders on Sunday.
Remarks at the conference are usually considered off the record.
"If anyone's ready to celebrate the eventual re-election of Bush, it is none other than al-Qaeda," Sir Ivor was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
