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.”

Buh bye Wolfie.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:38 pmWhat’s that?!?!?!?
Jr can’t push around the World Bank like he can Congress?
May 15th, 2007 at 4:38 pmOwoooooooooo!
May 15th, 2007 at 4:39 pmHere’s one wolf that’s still on the endangered species list!
Looks like that option is off the table.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:40 pmwhat more time do they need? the facts aren’t going to change…
May 15th, 2007 at 4:41 pmGood. This needs to be put to rest once and for all so the World Bank can move on with more important matters.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:42 pmMore important matters… like which haples struggling nation to screw next!
May 15th, 2007 at 4:45 pmwolfie gotta eat….
May 15th, 2007 at 4:46 pm#5 — They need to have Wolfie take about a month to practice his comments of “I don’t recall … I don’t remember!” Just like Gonzo did.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:48 pmDoes this mean they’re f*cking with Wolfie?
Sweet….
May 15th, 2007 at 4:49 pmWolfie’s getting the hatchet job, that’s clear and deservedly so! What does he need another day for?? To fabricate more drivel and lies??
May 15th, 2007 at 4:51 pmI hear that World Bank employees are openly insulting or ignoring Wolfy. They’re also wearing buttons and armbands with “Resign!” on them.
When the employees do this to their boss, the boss obviously can no longer be effective at his job.
Wolfowitz refuses to resign because he has no moral values. So he must be fired, and the sooner the better.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:55 pmBushies, Neo-cons and Republicans never, ever want to face the music.
They are just like every sh*theel I have ever seen on COPS. “It wasn’t me!”
-GSD
May 15th, 2007 at 4:57 pmHeh. Moral values. At the world bank. Right…
May 15th, 2007 at 5:00 pmOf the 6 billion people on the earth, what’s so special about Wolfowitz that Bush can’t replace him? Or does the threat Wolfie is rumoured to have made to the Board applicable to Bush as well? What does the World Banker have on the Decider?
May 15th, 2007 at 5:05 pmdavid: It’s simple. You can’t accept defeat – ever. If you do, you’ve shown weakness and everybody will be sticking in a knife in you.
May 15th, 2007 at 5:11 pmWolfowitz is meeting with the World Board now according to the BBC. Hopefully he’ll be gone at the end of the meeting. Good Riddance!
May 15th, 2007 at 5:13 pmBush’s support for his lackeys (Gonzales, Rove, Wolfie) would be so laughable if it weren’t so “you-can’t-touch-me” blatant. Bush’s M.O. is to keep on stalling and presenting “statements of support” until his lackeys get to remain on the job. After the Gonzales eposide, I wouldn’t be surprized to see Wolfie weather the storm. I am so amazed at the F+cking nerve of Bush, and I hope Iraq war catalyst and now would be world banker Wolfie gets FIRED and doesn’t have a chance to resign. I hope Europe stands up to him.
May 15th, 2007 at 5:35 pmTake his passport, and put him under house arrest…
…at least ’til we’ve gotten our money back…
May 15th, 2007 at 6:05 pmHonest… I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.
May 15th, 2007 at 6:46 pmI hope Iraq war catalyst and now would be world banker Wolfie gets FIRED and doesn’t have a chance to resign. I hope Europe stands up to him.

Be sure that you copy this, blow it up and don’t forget that this is exactly what the republicans problem and and also keep in mind that they all think this way and it is why they still support Iraq, Bush, Cheney, etc.
It isn’t about right or wrong it is about winning.
May 15th, 2007 at 9:15 pm> david: It’s simple. You can’t accept defeat – ever.
Hitler didnt accept defeat either.. how did that work out for him?
> If you do, you’ve shown weakness and
> everybody will be sticking in a knife in you.
You think thats the only way to get knives stuck in you? How about trying to fight the whole world? Bottombreeder, do you think the Us can take on the whole world or do we need ANY allies at all?
May 16th, 2007 at 3:28 am#23 I hope that the governments of the European countries and Canada have finally realized that Bush and his administration are dangerously incompetent and that for the benefit of Planet Earth they have to have the balls to stand up to him and push back hard enough to get the War Criminal Wolfowitz ousted.

We realized it 6 years ago, but remember, the USA is the only superpower left, and the country of the world with the biggest “defense” espending. We can only resort to diplomatic ways, and generally, the USA despises all diplomacy that is against its interests, and the Bush GOP has been specially good at the later.

The world decides at the end of the day. The Neo-Con hawks should realize that it’s not them that decides the way the world works. what an irony, the man who tried to “clean†up the world is himself is a monster who seeks blood of thousands of peoples: Iraqis and the poor American soldiers who are in harms way in Iraq. Along with Al Queda, the Neo Conservatives are the real enemies of the United States and the world. These people should be discarded from all positions. may god help us
