Precis:

Greenspan, who was the country's top voice on monetary policy at
the
time Bush decided to go to war in Iraq, has refrained from
extensive
public comment on it until now, but he made the striking comment in
a
new memoir out today that "the Iraq War is largely about oil." In
the
interview, he clarified that sentence in his 531-page book, saying
that while securing global oil supplies was "not the
administration's
motive," he had presented the White House with the case for why
removing Hussein was important for the global economy.

"I'm saying taking Saddam out was essential," he said. But he
added
that he was not implying that the war was an oil grab.

Oh jps must be gnashing his teeth in flustration.

Poor jps.

Not really, they will just ignore the recant and continue to talk
about Greenspan saying it was about oil.

Yes, as if he didn't pause to think about it when he wrote it.

It was just a flip remark from a man who's never made a flip remark in
his entire life.

So then, why must he recant, is he dishonest, trying to sell books?

He clarified his statement. "Recant" is the word Tom liberally used to
describe Greenspan's clarification.

Let me ask you freakin', what interest does the US have in the mideast
that's more compelling than ensuring the free flow of oil?
