Greenspan, Iraq, and Oil - I mean blood oil

A connection between Iraq and oil? No sh_t!

Iraq is about more than oil, but the problems in the Middle East are rooted in oil. Bin Laden has essentially called oil America's Achilles heal, and the 9/11 attacks can be directly traced to oil. Ultimately, America's presence in the Middle East is, and has been, almost purely about oil.

Before 9/11, America had about 25,000 troops in the area. Why? To count grains of sand?

So, why all the hoopla regarding Allen Greenspan's belief that Iraq was about oil?

As some members of the media and politicians.......Finish: Greenspan, Iraq and Oil - I mean blood oil
