[THE FORMER IRAQI REGIME OF Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists from the region at camps in Iraq over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion, according to documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq.

terrorism not only had a safe haven in Iraq under Saddam, but if the sanctions were lifted, there'd be no telling what could have happened via Saddam's financing, harboring, training & exporting of terrorism via Iraq's OIL monies..
ps: President Bush has also reiterated that one of the reasons for going into Iraq was to prevent the terrorists profiting from Iraq's illicit OIL sales to feed their Jihad (Saddam's Holy War)..
where are our modern day Sherlock's?? seems like all about everyone ever does is deduce scenario's via HEADLINE's.. duh!!
Greenspan's actions in the Fed were always to late and too slow to avoid either recession or an overheated economy. In our house he was known as the "evil genius." He conveniently failed to act on common sense principles when it was clear that he was aware of the efficacy of raising/lowering various interest rates in a timely manner, and in particular, by what amount. I have no respect for him, or his politcal hack of a wife. It's obvious that her politics entered into his judgements. IMHO.
Yeah, I can imagine that Greenspan will be wailing on about blood for oil in an attempt to divert attention away from his part in making the market unstable due to subprime loans...

ReplyDeletecommon sense knowledge..
OIL is about the only asset Iraq had to offer the world under Saddam.. so of course OIL is part of it..
as it was pre-war.. Saddam's OIL profits went to funding of terrorism & building palaces in Iraq, not attending to the needs of it's people..
as both Clinton & Bush, as well as
many others made perfectly clear..
Saddam could supply wmd to terrorists
