Putin agrees with Alan Greenspan: It's War for Oil

President Vladimir Putin, in his latest jab at Washington, suggested Thursday that the U.S. military campaign in Iraq was a "pointless" battle against the Iraqi people, aimed in part at seizing the country's oil reserves.

The Russian leader was responding to one of dozens of questions from the public in an annual televised Q&A session, his sixth since taking office in 2000. The event broadcast live on state-controlled TV channels and radio stations consisted largely of people from around the country quizzing Mr. Putin mainly on such bread-and-butter issues as pensions, public workers' salaries and school funding.

db: I'd guess that quite a high percentage of Europeans would concur with Putin and Greenspan. It's an accepted fact that this was the prime driver of the Iraq invasion. Isn't it?

Watch out Iran.
