No mention of Greenspan's comments on Iraq, eh?

wooderson:
Tee-hee.

The Rabbi:
What were his comments on Iraq?

Greenspan is an economist. What does an economist have to say about Iraq that would be informative?

Manedwolf:
He claimed that the war was all about oil, pretty much.

Should have stuck to being an economist.

Ron:
Reported slightly out of context.

Stability in the region = oil

Saddam acquiring WMD's  = instability in the region

In a round about way it was about oil, big deal.

It wasn't about oil the way the left and fringe elements describe though.

K Frame:
If the Iraq war was all about oil, then why the hell am I paying $2.65 a gallon for gas instead of 50 cents a gallon?

If this war were truly about oil we would have seized the biggest oil fields, thrown a tight loop around them, and begun pumping them dry to export back to the US.
