Greenspan on the 'irresponsible' Bush, Personal note from Elisabeth. This is all a game that American Politicians are playing, there no longer is a difference between the Republican party And the Democrat Party. It is like the game cops play, with good cop and bad cop. Just to make you think one is worse than the other. It is all an illusion and the American People are the ones who are numb, feel powerless and shell shocked. How can a Country survive and that includes England, if it no longer has morality in the Government and it becomes a dictatorship and the people are as slaves to the rich and powerful who are intimidated and remain silent in fear. We have been in various parts of the world, and we wonder if any country is being spared of this horror. September 16, 2007 Alan Greenspan claims Iraq war was really for oil, " ADMITS TRUTH BLOOD FOR OIL" 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. Britain and America have always insisted the war had nothing to do with oil. Bush said the aim was to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and end Saddam's support for terrorism. |
