now that Greenspan says the war was about OIL. Can we impeach? We have our evidence.

Everyone says we need hard evidence, now we have it. Straight from the horses mouth. We should start screaming it. Honestly, why isn't this stunning revelation being talked more about? This should be the topic of all conversations. The nation should be outraged at Greenspan's comments. He held a high office and is in a position to know. He says we went to war over oil and no one bats an eyelash.

This admin. gets so many free passes.

It is so sickening.

1. Don't you remember?

That was reason #1.
We've had 87 different reasons since then.

4. I also remember Wolferwitz saying WMD was the one reason everyone could

agree on so they went with that as a reason for attacking Iraq. How in the world did that statement slip past the mainstream media?

2. Well he's not saying it's about oil like you think

He was on NBC Today and said it was about oil in that Saddam wanted nukes to threaten the straits of Hormuz and force the price of oil to skyrocket up to $130/bbl. He thinks was a destabilizer in the mideast and is glad he was taken out.

3. Greenspan is backing off the claim.

From MSNBC:

“I was not saying that that’s the administration’s motive,” Greenspan said in the interview conducted on Saturday. “I’m just saying that if somebody asked me, ’Are we fortunate in taking out Saddam?’ I would say it was essential.”

Of course, that's different from his claim in the book. And, also, PNAC advocated attacking Iraq to gain a foothold in the Middle East to protect our access to oil. But, we already knew that.
