What does this really mean? Alan is pushing 81 and knows that his years of public service are done. Did he make this statement to sell his book or does he really want to start GOP war II
Alan Greenspan claims Iraq war was really for oil (Wow the UK seems to break these stories)
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.
If you ask me I think that Greenspan's thoughts are what many real Republicans are thinking. They are greedy, they don't care about the middle class and they hate poor people. They also love money and Bush has taken lots of it and/or the chance to make lots of it away from them.
Wait wait you say. The war is making Republicans very rich????
I would have to disagree. There are about 5 companies making a killing (sorry for the pun) on this war. All are tied to Bush Sr and Bush Jr along with Darth Vader. The housing market is in the toilet, jobs are vanishing out of thin air, the economy is headed for a meltdown and it's not going to recover with us paying 1 trillion dollars in war debt.
This will make an interesting week of POTUS 08. I can't wait to see what happens.
Update: Really feel sorry for the next President. Cleaning up this mess is not going to be fun.
