Reply #2: "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins [View All]

Ms. Pelosi expressed her disappointment with the Wolfowitz selection but failed to lay the groundwork for why he is such a poor choice ... in "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", John Perkins lays out the case against the World Bank's role in helping trans-national corporations exploit the monies made available by the World Bank to developing nations ...

Wolfowitz and the neo-cons sit at the core of such corruption ...

Americans need to be told the truth about the empire-building goals of the neo-cons ... stating only that "Mr. Wolfowitz's actions have outraged the international community and damaged our longstanding friendships with valued allies" correctly highlights that Wolfowitz has alienated the world community, but it fails to explain WHY !!!

Until Democrats "launch their missiles" by telling the American people the truth, their criticisms of evil men like Wolfowitz will come across as nothing more than sniping at the other side ... Americans need to understand that our support for developing nations is only provided when it can be exploited for corporate greed ... Pelosi's criticism is throwing bullets at the right target; next time, let's hope she loads them in her gun before using them ...
