1. He personally helped address the nagging problem of unequal pay for women by giving his "female companion" a $47,000 raise.
2. This past week, he diverted Bush cabinet officials from fighting the Iraq War, spinning Alberto Gonzales, and figuring out a way to invade Iran by keeping them on the phone to foreign governments to defend his proud record.
3. He weakened the Bush administration's Iraq War brain trust by bringing other key neo-conservative bureaucrats from the Pentagon with him to run the Bank and badger its staff.
4. He buttressed the "Coalition of the Willing" (the brave countries that backed Bush's invasion of Iraq) by promoting unqualified people from those countries into numerous top positions at the Bank.
5. He managed to convince governments of the world's eight most powerful countries to give the Bank key global leadership role in the fight against climate change while the Bank continued to be the world's largest subsidizer of fossil fuels.
6. He made the difficult concept of corruption real to ordinary people.
7. He unified the World Bank staff against a common enemy.
8. He took up so much of The Washington Post the day after tendering his "resignation" that Paris Hilton's sentencing got pushed to page three of the "Style" section.
9. His scandal drew attention to three decades of terrific work by World Bank critics on everything from the environment to worker rights to family planning to the irony of someone who makes nearly $400,000 offering advice to those who make less than a dollar a day.
10. By resigning before he had to be forklifted out the door, he may have preserved the time-honored tradition of the U.S. government naming the World Bank president, possibly offering the Bush administration an exit strategy for Alberto Gonzales.

One positive to come out of the saga is that Paul illustrated to all peoples of the world that they are just like us.
He showed that the age old practice of favouring your own over others is not only done only by third world officials but also by leaders from the so called developed world! Except in this case there is absolutely no excuse - just plain old corruption and abuse of power by a crooked politician from the USA and a sycophant of Bush. We are no better than them and the quicker they realise that the better for us all.

Since he was already fantastically wealthy BEFORE being given the keys to the largest Piggie Bank in the world, why not show his true dedication to promoting his own perverted view of Democracy, not to mention his very perverted view of his girlfriends' underwear, by donating that 400 grand separation pay and his "Performance Bonus", which should total out to be about a cool million, to those Pro-Democracy causes he has been donating so much of other people's money, notably the World Bank's money, to bolster.
It would be tax deductible, I'm sure, since he and his cronies re-wrote the tax codes to include "charitable" contributions to terrorist groups like Blackwater, the Carlyle Group and Halliburton.
He would get to make the grand gesture which would deflect the criticism that he is a Master Thief and his girlfriend is really a very expensive whore.
And with the tax break, he would get every penny of it back.
His announcement that his resignation would be effective in 6 weeks was Mighty White of him, most people who resign their jobs to avoid being fired only give two weeks notice.
and that only so the employer has a chance to interview candidates to replace him.
Which I am sure the World Bank Trustees have already been doing for quite some time now.
I guess he needs the extra time to clean out the Bank oooops I mean his Desk.
And he needn't worry about standing in the unemployment line too long, his political party which i shall not mention the name thereof but it rhymes with Republican, is always on the lookout to hire particularly talented thieves.

This clown has been wrong so many times its a wonder he hasn't been laughed out of town. Architect of the war on Iraq? He couldn't find his ass with both hands and a map! "The war will cost us next to nothing--Iraq's oil will more than pay for it." What's the bill up to now? 500 BILLION? "They'll welcome us with flowers." Are IEDs like flowers? "They'll greet us as liberators." Is that the same as Yankee go home?
And now he has the distinction, as Bill Maher quipped, of being the only jew who can't run a bank. Based on this last one, Israel will quite likely rescind his dual citizenship.
But not to worry, along with all the other incompetent fuckups, he's probably slated to receive the Medal of Freedom (Fuckup).
He deserves to be fired outright, instead he's being allowed to dictate the terms of his "leaving". As a master scumbag he has accumulated enough dirt on others to insure a safe and prosperous future.

Paul Wolfowitz protested to the World Bank on Tuesday the 15th that he didn’t like the reference in the press that Shaha Ali Riza is his girlfriend; how about double agent, spy, or espionage agent? Or maybe she’s just an opportunist that knows, from pillow talk, too much about 9/11, the lead up to the war in Iraq, the ongoing attempt to engage Iran in war, and maybe a bit about President Bush’s private life? All the above would insure an ambitious woman of $50,000 - $60,000 dollars a year in hush money. Blackmail can be expensive to the one blackmailed. Wolfowitz took too many chances in giving her all that money - and with his admitted strong fear not to - makes for some interesting speculation.
(Note to Shaha - considering US Government precedence; it would no doubt be best that in the future you refrain from flying in private aircraft.)

When I first saw the AlterNet headline for Cavanagh's piece, my blood pressure shot up to the Moon.
Rather than read his 10 points about Paul Wolfowitz, I immediately googled Cavanagh's foundation, Institute for Policy Studies, and checked its board of directors, a standard investigative technique of mine
Expecting a nest of NWO neocon snakes, I was stunned to find two of my favorite progressive social commentators, Barbara Ehrenreich and Katrina vanden Heuvel.
WAIT A MINUTE! my startled brain shouted.
Then I returned to AlterNet and did what I should’ve done in the first place: read Cavanagh’s 10-point article
Well done, Joe. You truly deserve a Pulitzer!

When there was so much questioning about whether Wolfowitz was qualified to run the World Bank, I simply didn't understand. The World Bank's primary task has been to destroy the lives of the poorest of the poor throughout the world by forcing their countries to go along with devastating privatization of those things that belong to the people, like water. In other words, the World Bank has done precisely what the neocons want done - transferred wealth from the people to the wealthiest through corporations.
Wolfowitz was perfect to lead such an organization. What doesn't make sense is that his underlings at the World Bank didn't appreciate him. With their track record, how could they possibly have been concerned with a few extra bucks going to his lover?
So, the real question is: What's the real reason the World Bank is so upset with Wolfowitz?

Only one--plus $500 B for the bulb.
OR
No number of neocons can change a light bulb--since they can't tell when their totally in the dark, they aren't likely to try
OR
A neocon can screw-up, but they can't screw-in anything, notwithstanding assumptions about Wolfowitz's relations with his girlfriend.
OK, these suck, so let's hear yours....
Wolfowitz shows the key to getting Alberto out of the DOJ: Alberto just needs about a $1M separation package and he could return to some more harmless life style, like representing Republican politicians/operatives indicted for corruption.

Wolfowitz was the main ideologue of the Project for the New American Century. He was a signatory of the PNAC Statement of Principles, along with Cheney, Rumsfeld, and others who all become key players in Bush regime. The PNAC worldview became the foreign policy of the Bush regime.
The PNAC agenda was saimply that, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. was now the world super-power militarily. This military supremacy was the iron fist for U.S. based multi-national corporations to secure economic resources and power throughout the world.
Now, as the corporations start making more profit abroad, they are leaving the sinking ship. Halliburton has moved it's corporate offices to Dubai. After looting the U.S. and leaving the country and people with vast debts.

The World Bank needs to be scrapped. It is not working and it is a huge waste of money. What is required is a global infrastructure funding agency. The World Bank should drop all its attempts to reach out to NGOs etc. and pretend it is 'pro-poor, pro-women etc.' The developing world needs infrastructure and this needs to be funded. A global infrastructure bank would do more than giving aid. Aid doesn't work and the evidence has proven that.

Wolfowitz is a symptom of a bank the world no longer needs. The world is now awash in capital especially from countries such as Venezuela and Russia. The World Bank also notriously destabilized countries in South America by insisting on "privitization" of everything the people owned, furthering the creation of a wealthy elite to receive all the largesse. Fortunately, in South America, Venezuela has stepped up to the plate and the World Bank is being shut out. Venezuela is giving almost free lines of credit to many developing nations now without backbreaking strings the World Bank had imposed. Not only that, the World Bank has lately been mostly writing loans to many 2nd world countries, trying to compete with the "private capital" of banks and countries like Russia. So much for being really needed or useful. Time to kill off this parasite. As for "USA policy makers" who think they need this bank to "flex American muscle," (ie, propping up corrupt regimes with cash); the world has grown wise to you (America and World Bank) and your cash just ain't worth it anymore.

Only rip off people who aren't as rich as you.
When you go to ripping off the richest of the rich, you know they're gonna come down hard on you.
These kids he's been playing with lately just ain't any kind of Nice and Sweet. They're kind of like what the Mafia would be if the Mafia actually had a lot of money.
Which they do, but not nearly as much as these bastards.
His girlfriend isn't the only one who should avoid flying.
Mayhaps he should take that million or so in separation fees and bonuses and invest in a large tract of land, and about 50 Rottweilers. And a good alarm system.
And some heavy duty firepower.

The greatest scam that has been perpetrated on the citizens of the United States is the Federal Reserve. The greatest scam to be perpetrated on the world is the world bank. The greatest scam of all is the IMF that loans money to countries in exchange for the heart and soul of that country. All these scams have guaranteed that only a few wealthy families get wealthier while the rest of the working class, and very poor, get worked over.
The witer expresses the Red Herring of Wolfowitz because he does offer the Bush Administration just the diversion it needs.

Wolfowitz had already proven himself to be a immoral and incompitent administrator in the Bush regime. It should come as no shock to any who have followed these characters over the last few years that he has been caught in yet another scam.
Once again he has shown himself to be immoral (promoting his girlfriend) and incompitent (getting caught). At least the world bank has the courage to throw the Neo-Con rubbish out on its ear, something America should have done a long time ago.

He showed that the age old practice of favouring your own over others is not only done only by third world officials but also by leaders from the so called developed world! Except in this case there is absolutely no excuse - just plain old corruption and abuse of power by a crooked politician from the USA and a sycophant of Bush. We are no better than them and the quicker they realise that the better for us all.

Since he was already fantastically wealthy BEFORE being given the keys to the largest Piggie Bank in the world, why not show his true dedication to promoting his own perverted view of Democracy, not to mention his very perverted view of his girlfriends' underwear, by donating that 400 grand separation pay and his "Performance Bonus", which should total out to be about a cool million, to those Pro-Democracy causes he has been donating so much of other people's money, notably the World Bank's money, to bolster.
It would be tax deductible, I'm sure, since he and his cronies re-wrote the tax codes to include "charitable" contributions to terrorist groups like Blackwater, the Carlyle Group and Halliburton.
He would get to make the grand gesture which would deflect the criticism that he is a Master Thief and his girlfriend is really a very expensive whore.
And with the tax break, he would get every penny of it back.
His announcement that his resignation would be effective in 6 weeks was Mighty White of him, most people who resign their jobs to avoid being fired only give two weeks notice.
and that only so the employer has a chance to interview candidates to replace him.
Which I am sure the World Bank Trustees have already been doing for quite some time now.
I guess he needs the extra time to clean out the Bank oooops I mean his Desk.
And he needn't worry about standing in the unemployment line too long, his political party which i shall not mention the name thereof but it rhymes with Republican, is always on the lookout to hire particularly talented thieves.

This clown has been wrong so many times its a wonder he hasn't been laughed out of town. Architect of the war on Iraq? He couldn't find his ass with both hands and a map! "The war will cost us next to nothing--Iraq's oil will more than pay for it." What's the bill up to now? 500 BILLION? "They'll welcome us with flowers." Are IEDs like flowers? "They'll greet us as liberators." Is that the same as Yankee go home?
And now he has the distinction, as Bill Maher quipped, of being the only jew who can't run a bank. Based on this last one, Israel will quite likely rescind his dual citizenship.
But not to worry, along with all the other incompetent fuckups, he's probably slated to receive the Medal of Freedom (Fuckup).
He deserves to be fired outright, instead he's being allowed to dictate the terms of his "leaving". As a master scumbag he has accumulated enough dirt on others to insure a safe and prosperous future.

Paul Wolfowitz protested to the World Bank on Tuesday the 15th that he didn’t like the reference in the press that Shaha Ali Riza is his girlfriend; how about double agent, spy, or espionage agent? Or maybe she’s just an opportunist that knows, from pillow talk, too much about 9/11, the lead up to the war in Iraq, the ongoing attempt to engage Iran in war, and maybe a bit about President Bush’s private life? All the above would insure an ambitious woman of $50,000 - $60,000 dollars a year in hush money. Blackmail can be expensive to the one blackmailed. Wolfowitz took too many chances in giving her all that money - and with his admitted strong fear not to - makes for some interesting speculation.
(Note to Shaha - considering US Government precedence; it would no doubt be best that in the future you refrain from flying in private aircraft.)

When I first saw the AlterNet headline for Cavanagh's piece, my blood pressure shot up to the Moon.
Rather than read his 10 points about Paul Wolfowitz, I immediately googled Cavanagh's foundation, Institute for Policy Studies, and checked its board of directors, a standard investigative technique of mine
Expecting a nest of NWO neocon snakes, I was stunned to find two of my favorite progressive social commentators, Barbara Ehrenreich and Katrina vanden Heuvel.
WAIT A MINUTE! my startled brain shouted.
Then I returned to AlterNet and did what I should’ve done in the first place: read Cavanagh’s 10-point article
Well done, Joe. You truly deserve a Pulitzer!

When there was so much questioning about whether Wolfowitz was qualified to run the World Bank, I simply didn't understand. The World Bank's primary task has been to destroy the lives of the poorest of the poor throughout the world by forcing their countries to go along with devastating privatization of those things that belong to the people, like water. In other words, the World Bank has done precisely what the neocons want done - transferred wealth from the people to the wealthiest through corporations.
Wolfowitz was perfect to lead such an organization. What doesn't make sense is that his underlings at the World Bank didn't appreciate him. With their track record, how could they possibly have been concerned with a few extra bucks going to his lover?
So, the real question is: What's the real reason the World Bank is so upset with Wolfowitz?

Only one--plus $500 B for the bulb.
OR
No number of neocons can change a light bulb--since they can't tell when their totally in the dark, they aren't likely to try
OR
A neocon can screw-up, but they can't screw-in anything, notwithstanding assumptions about Wolfowitz's relations with his girlfriend.
OK, these suck, so let's hear yours....
Wolfowitz shows the key to getting Alberto out of the DOJ: Alberto just needs about a $1M separation package and he could return to some more harmless life style, like representing Republican politicians/operatives indicted for corruption.

Wolfowitz was the main ideologue of the Project for the New American Century. He was a signatory of the PNAC Statement of Principles, along with Cheney, Rumsfeld, and others who all become key players in Bush regime. The PNAC worldview became the foreign policy of the Bush regime.
The PNAC agenda was saimply that, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. was now the world super-power militarily. This military supremacy was the iron fist for U.S. based multi-national corporations to secure economic resources and power throughout the world.
Now, as the corporations start making more profit abroad, they are leaving the sinking ship. Halliburton has moved it's corporate offices to Dubai. After looting the U.S. and leaving the country and people with vast debts.

The World Bank needs to be scrapped. It is not working and it is a huge waste of money. What is required is a global infrastructure funding agency. The World Bank should drop all its attempts to reach out to NGOs etc. and pretend it is 'pro-poor, pro-women etc.' The developing world needs infrastructure and this needs to be funded. A global infrastructure bank would do more than giving aid. Aid doesn't work and the evidence has proven that.

Wolfowitz is a symptom of a bank the world no longer needs. The world is now awash in capital especially from countries such as Venezuela and Russia. The World Bank also notriously destabilized countries in South America by insisting on "privitization" of everything the people owned, furthering the creation of a wealthy elite to receive all the largesse. Fortunately, in South America, Venezuela has stepped up to the plate and the World Bank is being shut out. Venezuela is giving almost free lines of credit to many developing nations now without backbreaking strings the World Bank had imposed. Not only that, the World Bank has lately been mostly writing loans to many 2nd world countries, trying to compete with the "private capital" of banks and countries like Russia. So much for being really needed or useful. Time to kill off this parasite. As for "USA policy makers" who think they need this bank to "flex American muscle," (ie, propping up corrupt regimes with cash); the world has grown wise to you (America and World Bank) and your cash just ain't worth it anymore.

Only rip off people who aren't as rich as you.
When you go to ripping off the richest of the rich, you know they're gonna come down hard on you.
These kids he's been playing with lately just ain't any kind of Nice and Sweet. They're kind of like what the Mafia would be if the Mafia actually had a lot of money.
Which they do, but not nearly as much as these bastards.
His girlfriend isn't the only one who should avoid flying.
Mayhaps he should take that million or so in separation fees and bonuses and invest in a large tract of land, and about 50 Rottweilers. And a good alarm system.
And some heavy duty firepower.

The greatest scam that has been perpetrated on the citizens of the United States is the Federal Reserve. The greatest scam to be perpetrated on the world is the world bank. The greatest scam of all is the IMF that loans money to countries in exchange for the heart and soul of that country. All these scams have guaranteed that only a few wealthy families get wealthier while the rest of the working class, and very poor, get worked over.
The witer expresses the Red Herring of Wolfowitz because he does offer the Bush Administration just the diversion it needs.

Wolfowitz had already proven himself to be a immoral and incompitent administrator in the Bush regime. It should come as no shock to any who have followed these characters over the last few years that he has been caught in yet another scam.
Once again he has shown himself to be immoral (promoting his girlfriend) and incompitent (getting caught). At least the world bank has the courage to throw the Neo-Con rubbish out on its ear, something America should have done a long time ago.
