Iraq war about oil: Greenspan |
| Home | (The Age) - IT HAS been blindingly obvious to everyone except Prime Minister John Howard and some of his senior ministers that oil has a lot to do with the war in Iraq. Mr Howard has vigorously denied that that was the case, but now no less an authority than former US Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan says that is what the war is mainly about. In a new book, Dr Greenspan says he is saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge "what everyone knows: the Iraq War is largely about oil". |
