Alan Greenspan Rips Bush Administration and Iraq War in New Book
Alan Greenspan's new book will probably have Dana Perino wondering why she took her new job next week. The former Fed Chief has ripped Bush and Co for their poor fiscal responsibility and, even more shockingly, says that the Iraq war, like many suspected all along, was about the oil.
Here is a couple experts from his new book 'The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World'
"My biggest frustration remained the president's unwillingness to wield his veto against out-of-control spending" adding that "The Republicans in Congress lost their way" lamenting that the deficit swelled to over $400 Billion.
and
"I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."
You can read more in 'The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World' which hits stores tomorrow.
"I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil," he writes.

Bah. Greenspan is probably just trying to cover his ass, especially when the latest subprime crisis was partly his fault.
-
Everyone know that.
The US do not want to take the oil directly, but want someone friendly to have control over the Iraqi oil.
But their plan did not go according to plan. -

Probably, after bush is out of office, he may tried to salvage bush's family's reputation... -
Professors of economics Luigi Guiso and Tito Boeri said: The subprime crisis has its origin in GreenspanÂ’s low interest rate policy.
Greenspan screwed up too. -
Even a three year old child knows this.
