I've never been a big fan of Alan Greenspan's views. Despite his claim of disappointment in Bush's economic policies, Greenspan blessed Bush's tax cuts in the first months of the new administration, paving the way for the orgy of national debt, wealth transfer and looting of the Federal treasury that followed.
I see that almost all the attention to Mr. Greenspan's new memoir, "The Age of Turbulence" (for which he received an $8 million advance) focuses on his gossip about Dubya and Clinton, whom Greenspan apparently admired.
Forget that. Here's the money quote from Bob Woodward's advance piece about the book: "Without elaborating [Greenspan] writes, 'I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: The Iraq was is largely about oil.'" It's about time someone the MSM takes seriously said that. Let's hope it's not ignored. That was $8 million well spent just to get that single sentence.
