Iraqi Prime Minister a Fan of Chomsky -- no wonder US wants him gone

[Terran1212]

Jafaari must have a few dangerous ideas:

TIM RUSSERT: Mr. Jaafari said that one of his favorite American writers is Professor Noam Chomsky, someone who has written very, very strongly against the Iraq war and against most of the Bush administration foreign policy. Does that concern you?

GEN. PETER PACE: I hope he has more than one book on his nightstand.

TIM RUSSERT: So it troubles you?

GEN. PETER PACE: I would be concerned if the only access to foreign ideas that the Prime Minister had was that one author. If, in fact, that's one of many, and he's digesting many different opinions, that's probably healthy.

1. Go Noam!!!

I can't wait to see the blurb on his next book:

If you read only one book by Imperialist Americans this year..." - Ibrahim al-Jaafari



Hang on a minute. Aren't the Jaafar the guys on Stargate who do the dirty work for the evil Go'auld Gods? Hmmm. Makes you think.

2. What a interesting thing for Pace to say.

If he's is suggesting that having access to many ideas and agreeing with Chomsky is healthy, a lot of us on the left wholeheartedly concur.

4. I think he's actually trying to diss Chomsky politely

[Fridays Child]

5. Yeah. It just came out in an odd way.

3. its kinda cool that Pace knows about Chomsky ....

6. It's even cooler that Chomsky knows about Pace.
