Wolfowitz picked for arms control panel

Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The State Department will name former World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz to head a high-level advisory panel on arms control and disarmament, The Associated Press has learned.

The move by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice marks a return to government for Wolfowitz, a conservative with close ties to the White House. Wolfowitz was replaced as World Bank chief in June after a stormy-two-year tenure. His leadership was undermined by a furor over a hefty compensation package he arranged in 2005 for a bank employee who was also his girlfriend.

That idiot made an estimate of the cost of the war, was off with like 1000%, and then was granted the chair of the Worldbank. :crazy:

real humans need not apply

:eyes:

You did it.

for this Admin. Pick a woman hater to head the women's health initiative, pick a polluter/lawyer to run EPA, pick a best bud of business to run Consumer Protection....Bush Administration: Always he Worse Person for the Job since 2000!

We send in the Wolf! Makes perfect sense. The Neocons want to destroy th earth so who better to send in than the mans who knows how to do it best.

Nuff said.

by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice...."

Well, that explains it! Those dangerously unqualified, warmongering buffoons have to look out for each other, don'cha know. It would be hilarious if it weren't so depressing. :(


Edit: punctuation.

Just how incompetent does one have to be to NOT get Wingnut Welfare? This is just unbelievable. They're like cockroaches.... you can't kill 'em all off!

This corrupt administration has just stripped the sarcasm gears for the entire world. You can't satirize these crooks, because they never hit bottom without whipping out a shovel.

Killing half a million Iraqis has only whetted his appetite. The good Dr. Wolfowitz is back and keen on killing a million or two Persians, all in the service of "Securing the Realm"*.

There is absolutely nothing covert about our Israeli double agents.

I'm so happy I can still laugh

they never go away...and they never will as long as they are never held accountable

this guy and organized crime?

These guys are so inept, if they really were mobsters, most of them would have already heard the words: "This isn't personal, it's just business."

Paul D. Wolfowitz, who resigned as World Bank chief after serving as second-in-command at the Pentagon, has returned to the Bush administration, albeit in an advisory role. From a short news release put out this afternoon:

The Department of State is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Paul Wolfowitz as the Chairman of the Secretary of State’s International Security Advisory Board.

As we said when the job offer was reported in December, the board meets quarterly to provide advice to the secretary of state and one of her deputies based on classified intelligence on some of the most important issues in United States foreign policy today, from Iran to North Korea.

His experience in arms control issues stretches back to the 1970’s, but his role in the Iraq war was the basis of last month’s criticism of the reported appointment. Mr. Wolfowitz is also a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.
