It is funny he is lauded by the right as a genuis until he speaks the truth about the war. Now he is a ********.
He basically said Bush junior is a idiot and the war is about oil. Anybody with 2 brain cells to rub together can see this. I love the "he was not privy to top secret information" give me a break. The war on terror give me a f*cking break. I think that some of the sheeple are soooooooo f*cking stupid that they will never wake up to the truth.

I love Greenspan. He said a lot more than that last night on 60 minutes as well. Its worth watching if you can download it online.
He plans to vote Republican although he thinks Clinton is capable of doing the job and he hasnt gotten along well with either Bush administration.
And to I, Robot above, Greenspan is most certainly NOT an advisor to George Bush. He was Chairman of the Fed, which is NOT supposed to directly advise the president on economic policy as was brought up last night. Watch some news and turn off Rush Limbaugh once in awhile

You knew it, I knew it, it was the motivation from the start. It doesn't matter that Iraq is not outputting much oil, the prices and profits for everyone has gone up. But this partially why people think the way they do, if they don't know it.
Greenspan writes:
“I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.”
Ok, so there we have it, pretty cut and dry... with numerous links saying the same thing.
Then you have foxnews.com, who can't believe their collective ears,
"Alan Greenspan Seeks to Clarify Controversial Iraq War Comments"
Then CBSnews.com,
"Greenspan Backtracks On Iraq War Oil Claim"

YES, YES, YES!!! It's about damned time that someone in the government pointed out the obvious! Not only that, but the Bush supporters can't even argue this time that the criticism is coming from a liberal.LOL!

I'm not sure if I actually learned anything at all. This only reaffirms my view that former advisors only spill the beans AFTER resigning, rather than having the courage to directly question and criticize the current regime WHILE on the job.

And when I'm president I'll not let my Fed Chairman in on all my foreign policy meetings. Oh yeah, NEITHER WAS THIS ONE. He doesn't know. He was just conjecturing and was the first to admit it.
"I was not saying that that's the administration's motive," he said in the interview. "I'm just saying that if somebody asked me, 'Are we fortunate in taking out Saddam?' I would say it was essential."

When did Alan become a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
What? He's just a banker and not privy to top secret discussions of national security?

No. But his words carry more weight and that especially it comes from a republican.
