Le Shorter: I told you so.

In his memoirs, former Federal Reserve Chairman and staunch Republican, Alan Greenspan, speaks the truth. He is "sad" that the Iraq invasion is largely about oil. No doubt the Americans who have given their limbs and the families of those who gave their lives in such a foolish foreign gambit are sad too. But what is even sadder is that our congressional leaders lack the fortitude to bring the American agony in Iraq to a speedy end by refusing to fund the war any longer. Congress' message to the troops: Die more.
