OK... so a while after he is out of his Fed Reserve job, Greespan spills the beans on the Bush administration's wastefull and dangerous ways, saying out loud what we all knew to be true: OIL WAS THE BASIC OUTSPOKEN REASON to go to war, as expressed within the walls of the White House. We all knew that ( see this earlier blog)
. So... NOW, six years later he's talking. The SPAN of the GREEN could have hinted before to the incompetence of that President. But he chose to do it just before the release of his BOOK, propelling it to millions more in profit. And we pay over $3 at the pump!
Same with Colin Powell. In a recent interview by none other than GQ (Gentlemen's Quaterly, a fashion magazine), he hints that he regrets having taken up the distortions leading to war in Iraq, presenting then to the UN Security Council with a straight face. This confession comes way too late, six years too late. Does he have a book too? Oh yes...I think he does. Those public servants sure know who to serve first, don't they? Makes you want to live in Switzerland where all public servants are chosen for their competence and there is no elections based on megamillions of influence peddling by lobbies. But then Switzerland does not go to war. Ah shucks...! There is always something wrong with these other countries! Humvees vs cuckoo clocks. I'll take the Humvee anytime...to Wall-Mart, where just maybe I'll buy a cuckoo clock for good measure.

Let me just say that I cannot stand a person who for years and years has bailed out banks, Wall Street bums and venal politicians needing a boost in the polls. Isn't he partly responsible for all the easy mortgages that are now collapsing. Another NY power broker that will not just shut up and retire. Let him write all the books in the world, he's bad news to me. Just look how he wiggled out of that statement about oil, just this morning, trying to have it both ways, to garner readers of every political persuasions.
