Today's Sunday Times carries the following statement from Alan Greenspan, ex chairman of th US Federal Reserve.

"It saddens me that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows; the Iraq war is largely about oil"

This from one of the "High Priests of capitalism" is a boost for the anti-war left.

This validates my opinion, that we are prepared to indulge in piracy and countenance the deaths of hundreds of thousands , to fulfill our energy requirments.
