Wolfowitz’s Apology: Don’t Hate Me Because I Helped Launch The Iraq War
Wolfowitz’s Apology: Don’t Hate Me Because I Helped Launch The Iraq War
When Paul Wolfowitz, a primary architect of the Iraq war, assumed his post as World Bank President, he claimed the the new boss was going to be tough on corruption. Yesterday, he acknowledged that he “made a mistake” when he became personally involved in securing a promotion and a pay raise far in excess of the normal maximum for his girlfriend, Shaha Riza.
Riza’s promotion came with a pay increase that was more than double the amount allowed by staff rules. “According to the Government Accountability Project, a watchdog group, she has received two raises totaling $61,000 since Wolfowitz took over as president. The group said bank payroll documents put her current annual salary at $193,590.”
Wolfowitz’s admission of wrongdoing came only as the 24-member World Bank board met in a marathon emergency session to discuss his fate. The Board issued a statement saying it would “move expeditiously to reach a conclusion on possible actions to take.”
Wolfowitz tried to explain away his behavior, claiming his mistakes were made because “he had to deal with it when he was new to this institution and trying to navigate in uncharted waters.” He added that criticism of him should not focus on his role in the Iraq war. “For people who disagree with things they associate with me in my previous job, I am not in my previous job.” Watch it:
Alison Cave, chairwoman of the staff association, told staff: “He must act honorably and resign.” Wolfowitz appeared as Cave was addressing employees. Bloomberg described the scene this way:
Calls of “resign, resign” resounded through the World Bank’s atrium yesterday when Wolfowitz, 63, addressed employee representatives.
Despite the emerging evidence of Wolfowitz’s corruption and increasing clamor for calls to resign, Bush is standing firmly with him. “Of course President Wolfowitz has our full confidence,” Deputy White House Press Secretary Tony Fratto said yesterday.

April 13th, 2007 at 11:09 amDoes everything the neocons touch turn to shit? Or is that just an illusion. I guess the PNAC crowd should have figured out in their big money grab that people would be watching. By now people should see what the neocons are most intereted in–stealing as much money and power as possible by any means possible–the “conservatives” out there should also note these PNAC guys have destroyed the Republican Party and any chnace you will have to even compete in elections in 2008.

April 13th, 2007 at 11:17 amWolfowitz had better start looking for land in one of the countries that he considers corrupt – because if he is still in-country in 2008 we’ll put him where he belongs… in prison.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:18 amIs this what they call a value voter or a moral majorist?
Is Wolfie paying to ‘poke’ his ‘fun’ at his partner?
Mwahhh.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:18 amWho the hell would date this comb-sucking freak?
April 13th, 2007 at 11:21 amYes, they do have quite a system.
Be the corporate bitch and externalize everything possible while in office . . . then take the position that has been reserved for you at World Bank.
Next up . . . junior’s brother tony.
I’m sure this is something I’m late in getting a grip on . . . .
April 13th, 2007 at 11:22 ambut it looks like oil owns our current federal government ?
Wolfowitz is a completely corrupt creepo, who combs his hair with spittle, so he must be fired the same way as Don Imus.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:22 amSo, he’s apologized for giving his girlfriend a $61,000 raise. Do we know whether the raise has since been repealed? My guess is it has not. Typical Republican: “we’re sorry for what happened, but it’s too late to fix it.”
April 13th, 2007 at 11:22 amMy Goodness~! How will the “Base” respond to this one?
Not only does Wolfowitz bed and bankroll an in-house lover out of wedlock, at international tax-payer expense, but he also is known to speak Arabic and take off his shoes as a sign of respect when visiting mosques:
“Bending down to change back into his shoes, Wolfowitz removed a slipper, revealing a large hole in the toe of one gray wool sock.”
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/04/09/070409fa_fact_cassidy?currentPage=all
Worse for the fundamentalist, base, no doubt, she’s a career woman and doesn’t darn his socks.
And if the Christian Right isn’t incensed, surely Rush will make him resign for “we-pay-as-he-goes” nakedness, and treasonous shoeless respect for “our enemies”.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:23 amF@#K!
April 13th, 2007 at 11:23 amThose high end prostitutes are gettin’ expensive these days.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:28 amGood thing Paul has access to all that money.
In his attempt to curb corruption, Wolfowitz is withholding money from those who live on under a $1 a day. The Millennium Goals were set in 2000 with the intention of helping such people by cutting severe poverty in half by 2015 and eliminating it by 2025. There is currently a $19 billion shorfall to achieving these goals. To put that in perspective, the US’s military budget is over $500 billion. We should be focusing on helping those who live in severe poverty, rather than taking what little they have.

Who the hell would marry this comb-sucking freak? Ew.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:28 amFortunately. the World Bank and Paul Wolfowitz maintain a corruption hotline at which individuals can report corruption. The phone number is 1-800-831-0463. You can give them a call and report Mr. Wolfowitz conduct in securing his girlfriend a highly paid position at the US State Department.
The World Bank website is located at
http://www.worldbank.org/
Give them a call.
Help Paul Wolfowitz ferret out corruption!
April 13th, 2007 at 11:30 amWhen Wolfowitz is booted from the World bank, there will be a chair next to Kristol on FOX News Sunday where they can invite Richard Perle on for weekly round-tables about how well “George W. Bush Blvd.” in Baghdad is progressing.

April 13th, 2007 at 11:32 amWolfowitz tried to explain away his behavior, claiming his mistakes were made because “he had to deal with it when he was new to this institution and trying to navigate in uncharted waters.â€
Wolfie obviously didn’t know it was wrong to f*ck another woman while he’s married; and he didn’t know it was wrong to break the rules at the World Bank.
Please, let’s give him another chance.
/sarcasm **gag**
April 13th, 2007 at 11:33 am“The man Bush calls “Wolfieâ€, a former academic better known for his cerebral skills than his amorous adventures, has discreetly been walking out with Riza, an Oxford-educated British citizen who was born in Tunisia, grew up in Saudi Arabia and works as the bank’s senior gender co-ordinator for the Middle East and north Africa. She not only shares Wolfowitz’s passion for spreading democracy in the Arab world, but is said to have reinforced his determination to remove Saddam Hussein’s oppressive regime.”

It’s a good article. I particularly liked this line:
April 13th, 2007 at 11:34 am“France digested Wolfowitz’s nomination like a bad oyster.”
“For people who disagree with me based on things in my previous job, I am not in my previous job.â€
It’s called your resume you crankshaft. And just because of “unchartered waters” you pad the pocket of your love interest. Yeah, that’s in the best interest of the World Bank.
This man is scum.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:38 amHow nice to know that his girlfriend may have helped push him into arranging for our current quagmire in Iraq. She should do a helluva lot more than give back her ill-gotten raise!

April 13th, 2007 at 11:44 amProbably will end up that Wolfie’s lover is really the sister of Osama bin Laden. She influenced him to influence Bush to invade Iraq and hang Saddam who was an enemy of Osama. The lady is definately an agent.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:45 amSmall semantic point:
Wolfowitz’s issue here was to land his mistress with a massive pay rise, personally over-riding all World Bank salary rules.
Question: Is this not prostitution?
Sub question: Would Imus have gotten fired if he’d referred to Ms Riza as a Wolfie-bedded ho?
April 13th, 2007 at 11:48 amOf course Bush stands behind him, with both hands on this hips.
Corruption is their moto.
Hating repukes daily.

Wolfowitz is a corrupt, cowardly draft-dodging, war-mongering chickenhawk. And yes, I do hate him for helping launch the Iraq war.
People, just how much of this sh*t will it take, for a full-scale armed insurrection to rid ourselves of these neo-Nazi war criminals?

Comment by margaret #33
margaret,
I think you’ve inadvertently hit on a very relevant point…
…France (among other former- hopefully soon to be again-allies)…
…is TOTALLY DISGUSTED with the antics of the criminal Bushite junta…
…Iraq will NEVER become an “international reclamation project”…
…until REGIME CHANGE happens in America…
April 13th, 2007 at 12:15 pmI don’t even care that much about the stupid raise. That amount of money ($61K) is peanuts for them and compared to the costs of the illegal Iraq war, what is it now, $416,787,400 dollars at this moment, with a projected $1 TRILLION in bills coming at the taxpayers in the future from just the soldier’s disability costs alone.
And how much has poppy Bush made thru that Carlyle Group on the war? And Cheney, and so on and so on…
B@stards!

April 13th, 2007 at 12:57 pmFar from trying to “protect the interest of the insituion,” the documents released today show that he was a fervent advocate on behalf of his girlfriend throughout the “negotiations,” which he was the “decider” for in the end! No that is a real corruption fighter that one would want to see.
April 13th, 2007 at 1:01 pm“For people who disagree with me based on things in my previous job, I am not in my previous job.â€
Ok, how about you should resign because you’re not qualified for your CURRENT job and you blew it by giving your girlfriend (ewwww) a huge ass raise that went against your organization’s guidelines. You screwed up, buddy.
April 13th, 2007 at 1:04 pmWolfowitz is just a symptom of the overall corruption of the World Bank. Their economic assistance to third world nations is a sham to bring those nations under the umbrella of us colonial interests.
April 13th, 2007 at 1:07 pmImperator Bush is standing firm with Wolfowitz because Bush is the Decider, and he Decides what is right or wrong.

April 13th, 2007 at 2:43 pmGlobal Poverty Targets Bound to Fail
Feb. 01 from Commondreams dot org
UNITED NATIONS – The Rome-based International Fund for Agricultural Development warned Monday that a global commitment to cut poverty by 50 percent by the year 2015 is bound to fail because it has marginalised the world’s rural poor.
…according to current UN estimates, the poorest of the world’s poor – about 1.3 billion people living on less than a dollar a day – is expected to keep growing. By the next decade, the number of people living in extreme poverty may even rise to about 1.5 billion out of a global population of more than 6 billion people. And by 2015, the UN predicts, the number could rise even higher, to 1.9 billion – provided there are no concerted efforts to fight poverty globally.
Based on these estimates Mr. Wolfowitz is doing an even worse job running the World Bank than he did conceiving the Iraq War.
April 13th, 2007 at 2:50 pmnever trust a neo-con
April 13th, 2007 at 3:56 pmLife is hard for Wolfie now. Gee, why don’t I feel sorry?

April 13th, 2007 at 4:24 pmWolfie is gone when the President is behind ya……..Good Bye
April 13th, 2007 at 4:31 pm“..because of my previous job..”???
April 13th, 2007 at 4:53 pm..previous crimes against humanity.. would be a much better definition of the “job”. I wish he will spend the rest of his days caring for insane mothers who saw their children blown into pieces.
No. Mr. Wolfowitz, people do not like you because you lack honesty, Integrity, you are true scumbag of all times.
You have done our country a tremandous dishonor, you should be jailed for life, you make all jews look bad, you are the typical common criminal, you are a thief, you are a true terrorist of the world SIR.
I pray for your soul because you have none, you freak loser. Your tiny little freaking eyes say all about you, you freaking dumb loser
April 13th, 2007 at 4:56 pmHaving just heard the Wolfowitz statement, I am astounded at how little he understands his responsibilities as head of the World Bank. Unfortunately, since he will be unwilling to resign, the board will be forced to remove him from office.
Even more unfortunate is the fact that this is yet another example of how far our body politic has fallen as we have done virtually nothing but aide and abet this kind of shameful behavior since Mr. Bush was given the nod for the presidency by the Supreme Court in 2000.
Shame on us all.
April 13th, 2007 at 5:09 pmAnd this is the guy who said his goal at the World Bank was to get rid of corruption. UNF*CKINGBELIEVABLE.
Then again, he also said US troops would be “GREETED AS LIBERATORS” in Iraq.
Just be thankful, next time you get on a plane, that Wolfowitz isn’t an airline pilot. Or that he isn’t the electrician who wired your house, or the mechanic in the garage who services your car’s brakes, or the pharmacist who filled your last prescription.
Because he’s a lethal Fuckup-Midas. He destroys everything he touches.
April 13th, 2007 at 5:34 pmPoor guy can’t catch a break. Be the architect of a war that kills over half a million people just one time and you’re labeled forever.
April 13th, 2007 at 5:38 pmYes we hate you for leading that poor stupid fuck to war – get used to it.
It is absurd to ask that we not hate you for leading us to war. According to Richard Clark and Paul O’Neil you were the person who first turned all conversations to “let’s get Saddam”.
Yes we hate you.

He’s a corruption fighter… but when he’s corrupt he can’t see it.
April 13th, 2007 at 6:28 pmHe’s a “righteous man”… but when he’s unrighteous he can’t see it.
He’s simply a disgusting human being.
Treat him no worse than a black man in America. Beat him, kick him, sodomize him with a plunger, and then when he takes out his wallet to give you his ID, fire fifty or sixty shots into his defenseless body.
Or, we could treat him like a Muslim. Pluck him off the street, don’t notify his family, and render his non-habeus-corpus-qualified bony ass to Syria for “questioning.”
At a minimum, treat him like the average American worker: replace him with an H1B visa, take away his health care benefits, and if he misses a credit card payment take all his property and sell it off.
April 13th, 2007 at 6:34 pmMSNBC just reported 200 of his employees booed him out of the room when he tried to apologize.
His girl is now saying SHE is the real victim here.
This poor little secretary now makes more than the United States Secretary of State Rice . (whom Wolfowitz didn’t get along with.)
Fire them both!
April 13th, 2007 at 6:48 pmThis is the world bank for cripes sake. What a horrible and pathetic example they are to those poor nations they serve.
Mr. Wolfowitz was clearly not thinking with his head. As has been true with his other adventure!
April 13th, 2007 at 7:40 pmRiza sure ain’t foxy
But then Wolfie’s no great catch
A common orthodoxy
Does these imbeciles attach
T’was not enough to launch a war

And drag it in his mire

April 13th, 2007 at 10:41 pmShe’d have to be damn proficients in every kind of sex to be worth that kind of money. Does the old Jew know what kind of fresh young meat he could have for a fraction of that money.
April 13th, 2007 at 11:44 pmWolfie’s at it again.
April 14th, 2007 at 12:10 amI’ve seen this cat in action, and
let me tell you, despite his age, he gets more ass than a toilet seat.
Serious playboy.
RE: #81 — “…the old Jew…”? What an offensive comment from a bigoted little mind.
Hey dras, Wolfowitz is a bad guy. He’s a sociopath and a corporatist of the worst order. But his ethnicity ain’t got nothing to do with that. Get that?
April 14th, 2007 at 12:27 amThat’s an apology? Sounds more to me like he’s saying “don’t go there, there’s more dirt if you keep looking”.
April 14th, 2007 at 12:36 amWolfowitz is concerned that people are holding his role in his previous job against him? What a schmuck. Wolfowitz’s fifteen minute’s of fame’is all about the Iraq war. Does he really think anyone, ever, will think about him in any other context?
April 14th, 2007 at 1:28 ammargaret says:

Why do Democratic politicians not point out that this deficit spending is a huge tax on ourselves and future generations of Americans? Instead, the Dems say nothing, and the Republicans are already sounding the alarm that Democrats will raise taxes on all Americans. Do the Democrats need a “Political Czar” to be truly effective as an opposition party?
BTW, I really liked Jon Stewart and John Oliver’s take on the use of the word “Czar” by the Bush Administration.

Or are you telling us here that jews do not live to attain old age in which case you are bigoted. Wolfie is a scumbag and at 63 years of age he is definitely an old jew. If you are reading the comments with a goal of censoring then F*ck you, you are no better than Wolfie.

April 14th, 2007 at 9:52 amThis is how Wolfowitz plans to help the world’s poor.
From the Project For a New American Century:
Project Participants:
I.Lewis Libby (Dechert Price & Rhoads)
Paul Wolfowitz (Nitze School Of Advanced International Studies)
“And advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target†specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a political useful tool.â€
April 14th, 2007 at 10:02 amAny German or other international SS-style killer, having found a new job, should henceforth use Wolfowitz’s classic: That was my former job!
After setting the world on fire in my former job, my present job is to grab as much money left for paying my whores, because these are uncharted waters (meaning I hope nobody will notice).
What a scum, and what a decline of American respect in the rest of the world. You will have mounting difficulty to retain a shade of moral distinction between Bushco, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hussein etc.
April 14th, 2007 at 10:26 amI think this Jew is very well connected, and we all know the rules are different for Jews.
Witness the academy award for Alan Arkin – playing a heroin addicted grandpa who teaches his granddaughter to strip…. good family fun.
Witness Sasha Cohen – wins an academy award for entrapping rural whites into looking like drooling jew haters …. when the REAL haters are the Jews….having a good laugh on all the rest of us.
Next we have op ed pieces by Jews with nameds like Miller and Parker and Jackson…. telling us to nuke Iran….
Americans WAKE UP — we have REAL enemies and they are NOT in Iran. They are in Hollywood making films like Aladdin.
April 14th, 2007 at 10:39 amJust keep in mind that as part of his “other job” Wolfowitz send US soldiers to their deaths to help inflate Dick Cheney’s Halliburton stock.
April 14th, 2007 at 11:33 amAmazing that when Wolfie sent our men and women to be murdered in Iraque, no one said a word. When he advocated torture in Abu Graib, little was done. Now that he has paid to ge laid , YIKES! He is threatened with job termination. this world is insane!!!
April 14th, 2007 at 11:50 am[...] Think Progress Wolfowitz tried to explain away his behavior, claiming his mistakes were made because “he had to deal with it when he was new to this institution and trying to navigate in uncharted waters.†He added that criticism of him should not focus on his role in the Iraq war. “For people who disagree with things they associate with me in my previous job, I am not in my previous job.†[...]
April 14th, 2007 at 11:19 pmOf course I hate him because he helped start the Iraq war! Sheesh. What a STUPID pitiful LITTLE man. He deserves our disgust and disdain!
April 17th, 2007 at 7:42 pmWhen will we get rid of these Israel-Firster americans that are infesting our country. Wolfowiz, Perle, Feith, Wurmser, Kristol are all Israel thugs in American garb. And they keep dragging us in wars for Israel. Next station, Iran???
