Only in government can someone who failed to do their job receive a promotion. What in the world is President Bush thinking about by nominating Wolfowitz to the World Bank? First ,this man is more responsible for the Iraq war policy than any other member of the Pentagon staff. Almost everything we were told about the war has proven to be wrong. It was Wolfowitz that told us our troops would be received as heroes. The cost would be between $60 and $80 billion and their oil revenue would pay the majority of that cost. It was to be a quick and clean operation. In fact George Bush assured the Pope, when he expressed concern about our invading Iraq, not to worry it would be quick and clean based on the advice of Paul Wolfowitz.
Looking at the diplomatic perspective, we are trying to improve our relationship in Europe because of the Iraq war and Bush appoints the man who is most associated with that unpopular war. I cannot think of a more inept person for Bush to suggest to head the World Bank then Paul Wolfowitz.
