In his new memoir to be released Monday, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan “levels unusually harsh criticism at President Bush…in his new book, arguing that Bush abandoned the central conservative principle of fiscal restraint.” President Clinton, on the other hand, he calls a “risk taker” who had shown a “preference for dealing in facts.”
UPDATE: Greenspan also writes, “I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.”
