Greenspan Speaks: "Iraq War was about Oil, Not WMDs"
Times of London: AMERICA’s elder statesman of finance, Alan Greenspan, has shaken the White House by declaring that the prime motive for the war in Iraq was oil.
In his long-awaited memoir, to be published tomorrow, Greenspan, a Republican whose 18-year tenure as head of the US Federal Reserve was widely admired, will also deliver a stinging critique of President George W Bush’s economic policies.
However, it is his view on the motive for the 2003 Iraq invasion that is likely to provoke the most controversy. “I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,” he says.
Greenspan, 81, is understood to believe that Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the security of oil supplies in the Middle East.
From Chris Ortiz: In high school, we used to refer to "ratting" on one another as "dropping them in the grease." Greenspan is the latest to "drop Bush in the grease" over the bogus War on Terror. These are some of the clearest indications that the Establishment is gearing up for regime change in America. And while the Ruling Class dukes it out, we have a great opportunity to educate the American people on the precise source of our greatest threats. In this instance, I find it humorous that the Jewish ex-head of the Federal Reserve is claiming the Bushites have sinned. While he's telling us the war in Iraq is really about oil, why not come clean on the real reason behind the Federal Reserve? This is one liar dropping another liar in the grease. In the meantime, those disgruntled with Bush/Cheney will be peacefully at ease when they see this Republican administration "get what's comin' to them!" The changing of the executive branch will pacify the population while the same policies continue. God help us.
