He cited Jews owning banks and newspapers and said the lobby is "so strong you wouldn't believe now" in remarks at Duke University law school in Durham North Carolina. Pentagon officials confirmed he made the comments during a Q and A after a speech. Brown defended himself saying the chairman is not anti Semitic though the remarks sparked controversy. He cautioned no force against oil nations was planned though it remained conceivable. He blamed the remarks on trying to cover too much ground in a controversial question.
