EPA/MATTHEW CAVANAUGHIn his memoir, Greenspan, an old school Republican who had an 18-year run as head of the US Federal Reserve, will share his criticism of President George W Bush’s economic policies.The Times Online reports that it is his opinion for the 2003 Iraq invasion that is going to get the lionshare of press.“I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,” he says in his memoir.Greenspan, 81, states in his book it was the belief that Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the security of oil supplies in the Middle East.Despite the fact that the political leaders of Britain and America claiming the Iraq war had nothing to do with oil; Greenspan chips away at the lies spun touting the goal was to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and end Saddam’s support for terrorism.

The toothpaste is out of the tube. America is run by Jews and this one at last spoke the truth. They use an idiot puppet called Bush to do their bidding. The ordinary working people of the US pay with their taxes, falling standards of living, the lives of their serviceman and women (how many US soldiers so far killed in Iraq ar Jewish......? You do the sums), and the futures of their children.
