Before his book was put out for sale to normal people he already started qualifying some of his observations of several years standing. He has always been such an expert wordsmith when speaking in front of Congress and the nation, how likely is it that he wrote things down carelessly?

I don't believe he wrote anything carelessly. It sounds like someone or something is putting pressure on him to soften his words or mitigate what he wrote. I think it is rather unfortunate he is being pressured in this manner because let's face it. If there were no oil in Iraq, does anybody actually believe there would be any American troops there?

Ultimately nobody can know for sure but it is a logically possibility that Greenspan can believe the Iraq war is being largely fought over oil and at the same time that president Bush entered the conflicts for reasons of his own other than oil.
Bush has advisers and special interests to pander to as well as was being fed certain information via the CIA; So it is not unthinkable that both Greenspan's comments could hold a certain truth value.

Those of us older than Alan Greenspan might take exception to the last shot opinion.
I think there is probably a great deal of pressure being brought to bear on him and his business.
I agree he never wrote anything carelessly, even if he does like to write in the bath tub.

I have NEVER seen the words "Careless" & "Alan Greenspan" in the same paragraph. He says what he means- & means what he says. He's ALSO too old- to threaten. This book is probably his final "Shot" in Public life. And as usual- his "Aim" is True...

Ever wonder living human kind do not know how to create books into positive and negative in living words.
Ever wonder living human kind were only good with ghostly stories.
Ever wonder how the creeps came out with communication problems making a mess getting kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy in not worshiping God.
The blunders and slip-ups with human errors created back in the past being expose in time after the mystery of us-911.
