Because you can’t read the master’s book and not his apprentice’s.

SUBJECT: COLONEL AL-QADHAFI’S SUMMER READING LISTCLASSIFIED BY: Chris Stevens, CDA, Embassy Tripoli, Department
of State.
CLASSIFIED BY: Chris Stevens, CDA, Embassy Tripoli, Department of State. REASON: 1.4 (b), (d) 1. (C) During a recent meeting at the office of MFA Secretary for the Americas (A/S-equivalent), Dr. Ahmed Fituri, P/E Chief commented on a stack of English-language books on current affairs on Fituri’s desk. Fituri offered that he had been personally tasked by the Leader, Muammar al-Qadhafi, to read and summarize in four- to seven-page Arabic-language reports “significant” English-language books dealing with American politics and policy, current affairs and history.. . . . Fituri estimated that he has summarized six to eight books per year, as well as miscellaneous articles from key journals and magazines. He was currently summarizing Fareed Zakaria’s latest book, “The Post-American World” and was about to begin work on Thomas Friedman’s “The World is Flat 3.0″. He had recently translated in full the Secretary’s article in the Foreign Affairs journal. Other books Fituri had summarized in the past year included Zakaria’s “The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad” (which al-Qadhafi liked), Barack Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope” and George Soros’ “The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror”.

Oh, great! Another way to spell his name!
And Keith Olbermann didn’t make the cut. Better luck next time, buddy.
No wonder he wants to kill himself.
What better way to delve into the liberal Muslim-appeasing mindset in order to determine how far the inroads into conquering the West you’ll be allowed to make?
Well, now we see why Barry took so long to say anything about Libya. They are soul brothas. Giving money to Libyan charities and smooching up. Yuk!
I like the cut of his jib, but he could learn a lesson or two about effective crowd control from those excellent wise men of the Chinese Government
/Tom Friedman
He can read? I’d have thought he’d get the audio books.
Twin sons of different mothers…pure evil.
What no Alinsky?
Zakaria? Friedman? Obama? Khadaffy/Quadaffi/Ghadaffi’s (30 years in the news you’d have think someone would finally figure out how to spell his name) reading list sounds like the typical Bay Area libs.
