Happy Thoughts From the Tony Snow of Al Qaeda

Suleiman Abu Gheith, al Qaeda spokesman

In a June 2002 manifesto (translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute), Abu Gheith wrote, "America is the head of heresy in our modern world, and it leads an infidel democratic regime that is based upon separation of religion and state and on ruling the people by the people via legislating laws that contradict the way of Allah and permit what Allah has prohibited. ... America is the reason for all oppression, injustice, licentiousness, or suppression that is the Muslims' lot. … We have the right to kill 4 million Americans -- 2 million of them children -- and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons. … America is kept at bay by blood alone."

You sure this isn't a Chomsky excerpt?

Yup, absolutely sure. Chomsky would have had to throw in a reference to the capitalist class. It's the mantra that revvs up his Boyz in Black

If you get a chance, let Gheith know that I've forwarded his name to "Virginia" (aka, Delta).

AA: Sounds like a Chomsky troll to me. With a dab of Ward Churchill thrown in.
