Wolfie

I was just thinking how I don't blog enough, and then I run into this.

Wolfowitz tapped for World Bank.

Who the fuck is kidding who???

President Bush outlined the reasons he chose Wolfowitz in a news conference Wednesday, calling him "a man of good experience."

A man of good experience getting us into unjustified wars should be the President of the World Bank, an organization that's supposed to give money to poor countries. Of course, this was prior to reading, and remembering, this:

Radelet said McNamara was accused of channeling aid to nations based not on need but on their support of U.S. policy.

So the former Pres of the World Bank was accused of cahnneling money based on support of US policy, then we put in a neo-conservative who was one of the integral architects of the Iraq war, a war in which, those that "weren't with us, were against us," and where we wouldn't give rebuilding contracts to those countries that didn't support the war militarily.

This is all a little bit troubling...Good thing the World Bank is at least relatively useless already. We wouldn't want to ruin an important institution with a bad choice for US representation...oh....wait...the UN. Right.
