Protecting the free worlds oil supply was just one of the economic reasons.
Verifying that Saddam had destroyed his WMD as required by the UN was just one of the humanitarian reasons.
Please, why would the White House be shaken, who cares what Greenspan thinks about the war?
Greenspan a Republican ....my foot
and to think this moonbat was in that position of power...scary.
What would one expect when married to a loon. Folks married are of like minds. Otherwise, the marriage is pretty much toast.
Greenspan, along with certain other conservatives would rather we had lobbed a few cruise missiles at Afghanistan and pretended everything was okay so the President could focus on the domestic agenda. The war on Terrorism is just a distraction to them...one they would rather ignore.
When did Alan Greenspan become a card carrying member of MoveOn.org?

The war was partially to keep oil out of the hands of Al Queda. I’ve acknowledged that to lefties and it leaves them speechless... for a minute, that is. I also give them my theory about holding Iraq as a wedge between the east Arab world and the west Arab world and slowing down money passing from person to person (Muslims don’t believe in banks because they charge interest, contrary to the Koran). They again look at me blankly and then go on about how the war was a conspiracy. Nothing will convince them. They just repeat their talking points.
"Gross, 63, is one of those investment figures whose every utterance is quoted and parsed for meaning. As manager of storied $103 billion (assets) Pimco Total Return, the world's largest bond fund, he has a long history of beating the Lehman Brothers (nyse: LEH) Aggregate Bond Index, the benchmark of the fixed-income set. He hired Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve chairman, as a Pimco consultant in May 2007, and Wall Street greeted the event as an alliance of godlike figures."

His motivtion is quite simple and transparent.
IF (and thats a big IF) he felt this way for years... he could have said something... but he didn’t.
You think its an ‘accident’ that he turns up the rehetoric just as he releases his new book?
BAM... a few hundred thousand dollars in free publicity. I see an hour on CBS’s 20/20 in his future.
And this was determined by?..... editorial "reporting".
