    Alan Greenspan says the Iraq War was about oil

    Quoted from Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve Chairman:

    “I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,”

    A constitution violated, 620000 noncombatant civilians dead, 3,771 U.S. soldiers dead, a nation contaminated with radioactive waste with a population lusting for revenge, about $450 billion taxpayer dollars squandered, a popular appeal to get out of Iraq that is ignored by those who are supposed to represent us...


    Time to turn off the oil spigots, offer the public electric cars, install wide scale mass transit across the country's urban centers, install wind and solar power facilities, cultivate industrial hemp and other plants for biomass, end wasteful factory farming, implement high speed electric rail systems for long distance travel, get rid of the resource-intensive military industrial complex, and tell society's power elite to either take the loss in profit and political power or alternatively, eat lead.

        Actually, i personally think it was about one more thing.

        Revenge.

        George Jr. wanted to get back at Saddam for making his father look like a fool during the first Gulf War.

          And drawing attention away from out failure to catch Osama. In fact, the war is pretty much about everything except WMDs.

                    PHOTO CAPTION: Phil Knox's streamlined 1994 Toyota Tacoma pickup saw its fuel economy go from 25 mpg to 32 mpg at 70 mph just by improving its aerodynamics, reducing its Cd from 0.44 to 0.25, the same as the Honda Insight gasoline-electric hybrid.
