Wolfowitz Goes on the Attack, but Hints at a Deal
No tears will be shed when Wolfy takes a walk. He was never qualified to run the World Bank and the day he walked in the door, his peers thought that this man was a joke. I concure.
Paul D. Wolfowitz defended himself vigorously on Monday, declaring that it would be “unjust and frankly hypocritical†for the World Bank’s board to find him guilty of ethical lapses. But he also hinted that he would discuss whether to resign as bank president if the board cleared him of misconduct.
Appearing before a committee of the bank’s board of directors and going on the attack after weeks of silence, Mr. Wolfowitz also charged that he had been the victim of “orchestrated leaks of false, misleading, incomplete and personal information†intended to “undermine my effectiveness as president.â€
