U.S. fails in bid to postpone Wolfowitz discussion

U.S. fails in bid to postpone Wolfowitz discussion.

The U.S. bid to postpone discussion over Wolfowitz “for another day ran into immediate opposition from European and other governments determined to resolve the bank crisis once and for all this week. … The Group of Seven leading industrialised nations failed to agree a way forward, as European nations and Canada pushed back against US pressure to delay consideration of whether Paul Wolfowitz can any longer be effective in his job.”

1. We are so respected and valued in the world today.

The great United States of America. Not quite as great as it once was, thanks to George W. Bush, White House occupant and failure at large.

There was a time when other nations would defer things like this to the United States, but no more. Thanks, Chimpy! Why don't you just go the hell home?
