...thereby confirming my suspicions all along that this man is a complete asshole. Quoted from the article...

Chairman Alan Greenspan said he told the White House before the Iraq war that
removing Saddam Hussein was "essential" to secure world oil supplies.

And this from the man who is now trying to play dumb about the whole subprime debacle. Do you honestly believe that this shrewd man was oblivious to the looming inevitability of a liquidity meltdown? He stood by, lifting not a finger to address the growing problem as he presided over an absurd housing boom that led - inevitably - to the whole subprime mortgage mess.

Beware of greasy little financial wizards...
