How embarrassing; yet another republican buddy of Bush going down in flames. I keep wondering what has to happen in order for ignorant republicans to finally confront their leadership. To me, this is just another example of the republican red pillaging our country. Keep the rich rich, and the poor poor. It's one of the oldest tactics around.

The world view of the idiots (like SP4) still blindly cheer-leading Bush and his cronies, is so distorted, enlightenment will never happen. Fortunately sanity has already started to prevail. Democracy in the US is far from perfect because too few people care about what is happening (or are too stupid to understand). But eventually the populace will get it right leaving the idiots (like SP4) in irrelevancy.

After watching the obvious lies by Gonzales, Bush is still supporting him. Now this man obviously used his position to not only help his girlfriend but also two Republicans from the White House were hired at exhorbitant salaries. If this proves nothing else it proves that George W Bush has no moral compass and he doesn't care who knows it. As long as he and his friends get richer and they can help their friends get richer all is right in his world.

The World Bank does not need a man like him. If it wasn't for him the our ex-secretary of defense, the USA would not have been in this mess today. Both of them shunned Chief of Staff General Shinseki's advice about how the war should planned out before congress. This resulted in Shinseki's early retirement and USA entering the Iraq war using ill advised strategy.

Our President would have been a hero today had he listened and followed the advice of Shinseki instead of Wolfowitz. Many of our young men could have still been alive today.

Get rid of him, he is only trouble. The only Army he can lead is maybe the Salvation Army.

It's Time For Wolfowitz To Go!May 8th, 2007 - 21:52:34

How does this administration stand behind Wolfowitz when he has been caught so grevioulsy abusing his power? Its time that Mr. Bush set aside his cronyism and consider the image such blind loyalty sends to the world.
Mr. Wolfowitz came to the World Bank in vocal criticism of the corruption and ennabling posture that the bank had been accused of. He disregarded the rank and file and surrounded himself with his own cabal of cronies to fix the problem. Instead he gets caught demonstrating how corruption works on high. If America is to hold on to a smidgeon of the image it once had of standing for fairness, the Administration will sacrifice Wolfowitz and try to act like the leader it says it is.
