Greenspan said what
Posted on September 18th, 2007 by ecthompson
The man is almost 80 years old. He has been out of office for over a year. Yet, he remains a superstar. His 60 Minutes interview was wide ranging and good. His new book released yesterday says that the Iraq War was over oil. No duh!!! Yet, he is back tracking on the Today show. I’m sure that some one in the Bush Administration called him and asked him to soften his comments because what he says on TV is more important than what he says in a book that 99% of Americans will not read.
Anything he is saying, even as he now backtracks a little from his more negative assessments, does not make up for the years af Ayn Rand- inspired harm Mr. Greenspan did.
Hear hear Mr. Texas Liberal. His tenure at The Fed fostered and made acceptable the extreme economic inequality that plagues us today.
The war is about oil. Uhh… I mean the war is about Saddam’s desire for oil. Uhh, I mean it’s about Saddam’s desire to control Iran’s oil and our altruistic desire to protect Iran’s oil from Saddam. WE would never kill and destroy over OUR desire for oil. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Say anything and do anything for more oil. Yep.
That about sums it up. Thanks, Oscar.
