Chomsky: Why Iraq?
"Chomsky said President Bush is using the Iraq issue to forward a broader conservative agenda.

"It is the strategy of the right oligarchy to direct mass discontent into nationalism and fear, he said. This strategy has been working quite brilliantly, you can see it in the midterm elections.

"As to the administration's choice of Iraq as the target, Chomsky credited the stupendous strategic powers that control of Iraq's oil reserve would confer."
