Well, the interview was actually carried out by Nick Holt of AGR, in March of this year, just after the publication of 9-11 (i believe). But Chomsky does say something near identical in 9-11 (obviously).

To be fair, though, it's not entirely prophetic to have envisioned a US incursion into Iraq even a couple of years ago. During the US presidential campaign, i predicted that should Bush win, we would see an invasion of Iraq in late 2003 (as a vote-winner in the 2004 campaign). 9-11 has probably brought that date forward, but if you buy into the paranoid delusion that we're running out of oil - as have i - then this invasion has always been an inevitability.
