Putting aside the awful PR implications in the Middle East of Greenspan being tied to the Iraq War, I'm not sure I really want my banker's advice for whether or not we invade a foreign country. Okay, Greenspan would have useful advice about the banking/economic implications. But in fact, as for the effect on oil, prices have skyrocketed, so I'm not feeling very secure, are you?
From the Wash Post:
Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve chairman, said in an interview that the removal of Saddam Hussein had been "essential" to secure world oil supplies, a point he emphasized to the White House in private conversations before the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
