I guess we now have an idea of what being married to Andrea Mitchell does to a man's brain.

[elfman2]

"Greenspan, 81, is understood to believe that Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the security of oil supplies in the Middle East."

That means it was "largely" about Saddam's potential aggression on regional oil supplies, not "our" aggression to capture or control oil.

The carefully spoken Greenspan is making misleading statements to sell a book..., and Time is playing right along to prop up Democrats.

[Bean Counter]

If the war in Iraq as really all about oil, then why don’t we have all of it in the whole world right now?

Why are we wasting so much time on Iraqi Civilian’s needs, when we should be setting up a perimiter around all of Iraq’s oil assests, and shooting anyone who comes near them.

Why did we not tell Kuwait to pick a governor, and we would add a star? Same with Saudi Arabia....we had enough troops in thier country to take it over several times.

One of our biggest oil importers is Canada. Why don’t we just take over Canuckistan, dig up Quebec to ship home to France, and take all of thier oil too?? Cancuckistan would make an excellent place to launch our conquest of Russia next, since they are now one of the biggest oil producers in the World.

Mr. Andrea Mitchell is just wrong on this one...

Alan, if you can’t STFU then please die...

Greenspan is a senile old has been and Andrea is pulling the strings.

“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.

Anybody with half a brain knows the global Oil supplies is the life blood of the US economy and PART of going to war with Saddam was to keep those supplies from being used against us.

Pretend for a moment, we didn't invade and now Saddam had nukes.

Saudi Arabia and all the Persian gulf oil kingdoms would be at his mercy. Then that would be the reason to go to war.

The word preemptive comes to mind

[Hot Tabasco]

the Iraq war is largely about oil,” he says

Considering how the socialists have been whining about the rising costs of oil, that should be a good thing then, shouldn't it?

[bilhosty]

That is probably the final nail. Bush is toast as far as history is concerned. I think this is total BS and I do not know why A.G. said it unless he was forced out. But, libs write history and will refer to this. The only way he can recover is if he fails. That is if some Arab explodes an A bomb in a western city. Otherwise he is just another Harding. We will have to run clear of him in 2008.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Look, Saddam was a threat in the Middle East. He was funding the death of Jews, he was not a good influence upon his neighbors, he continued to look for ways to get WMDs and he was breaking the rules he agreed to with the U.N. when the USA kicked his sorry ass in the FIRST Gulf War.

Additionally, he was sitting on a huge store of oil.

Who gives a damn about the reasons now?

The fact is, 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq are free now, and if allowed to remain free, they will become partners in the Middle East WITH America--government and business.

All this pissing and moaning about oil is just for the whiners on the left.

[citizencon]

I guess at his age the only way he can entertain Andrea Mitchell at night is to talk against President Bush...

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

“I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,” he says.

Jim Baker said something like this once about the first gulf war, once. He learned never to say this again, publicly.

[Brilliant]

See if the libs refuse to take the oil.

[AmericaUnited]

Greenspan is the most overrated mumble mouth on the planet.

This idiot says that the Clinton economic team always did what was in the best interests of the country as compared to the “Bush” people... A lying RAT shill.

[Nam Vet]

This old back stabbing doofus is a fool. He had the financial guns in this country for years and could have corrected and/or addressed the things we all know need to be addressed. He lorded over one "over exuberant' crash after another. Oh, by the way, where the hell are all the oil contracts we are supposedly benefiting from? Last I heard, I thought the Chinese had the upper hand.

[taxed2death]

Sooooooooo....let me guess, you think it’s about spreading democracy?....or...ummmmmm wmd?

lol

[Names Ash Housewares]

The man is becoming senile.

Eff ‘em.

What a jerk. Intellectually bankrupt.

[LibLieSlayer]

This proves that greencheese is a leftwing moonbat... watch him out himself as a “truther”... probably in less than a week. Every day it's another insight into his true leanings. He has lost his testicles... Andrea must keep them locked away.

[Finalapproach29er]

God magically protects the USA from dopes like this.

[Sal]

The only question raised by Greenscam's book is:

Did Greenscam decide to take off his mask or did he just go ga-ga?

I guess it could be both, they're not mutually exclusive.

[uncbob]

One of the problems with Iran getting nukes is that they will be able to blackmail THE ME oil producing nations

And wasn’t oil the reason for the multinational force going in to get Saddam out of Kuwait

[dbacks]

Then where the heck is it?
