Alan Greenspan claims that the Iraq war was mainly about oil.  Of course the United States government dismisses his claims about Iraq war.  He also accuses President Bush for out of control spending, which I don't think the government can dismiss.  Spending 173 billion dollars on the Iraq war when the economy is in crisis including the current gas prices and the housing market.  Requesting another 200 billion to spend on the Iraq war in 2008, is just too much.
