"It was a War for Oil..."

The initial reports were bad enough about Alan Greenspan, but he decided to twist the knife in his own gut a tad more...

"It was a war for oil and I was all for it!"

Clarifying a controversial comment in his new memoir, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said he told the White House before the Iraq war that removing Saddam Hussein was "essential" to secure world oil supplies, according to an interview published on Monday.

So like everyone else who has circled the wagons around Bush, it was not only morally wrong, but had, as everything else touched by Bush, the exact opposite effect.
