In Iraq For Jesus, Freedom, & The War on Terrorism?- Hell No. We’re Fighting For Oil Says Greenspan. George's Economic Policies Suck Too.

“Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, . . . admitted the Iraq war was largely about oil. A Guardian article says Mr Greenspan sounded more like an anti-war activist than a lifelong Republican. ‘I thought the issue of weapons of mass destruction as the excuse was utterly beside the point,’ he told the paper. The Daily Mail notes that Mr Greenspan has become the ‘highest official in American government at the time of the Iraq conflict to publicly accuse the president, George Bush, of going to war over oil.” Greenspan on Iraq and the UK economy by Matthew Weaver.

"Alan Greenspan, a conservative central banker, has tossed a political grenade into the 2008 elections and it exploded right under his Republican Party."In his memoir, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World, the former Federal Reserve chairman skewered President George W. Bush and congressional Republicans for what he said was reckless spending and a politically driven economic agenda and said they deserved to lose control of Congress in 2006. By contrast, he praised former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, and his economic record." Greenspan Memoir Democratic Gift, Republican Grenade By Matthew Benjamin
