Where Are They Now ?


Time once again for our heartwarming feature recalling giants of bygone days.

You all recall Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense, Chief Vulcan, architect of the Iraq War and noted liar.

You all recall many of his notable lies: we will be greeted as liberators; the war will only cost $1 billion (I laugh until it hurts when I remember that one); we’ll only need 100,000 troops and etc.

Well, the Egyptians do too and they list them as a prelude to their charges that Paul is now busily destroying the World Bank of which he is now the head.

But how ? By driving out top talent including the senior ethics officer , the vice president for East Asia and the Pacific, the chief legal counsel, the vice president for environmentally and socially sustainable development, the bank's top managing director, the director of institutional integrity (who monitors internal and external corruption), and the head of the information solutions group.

But how ? Hiring cronies like a former Cheney mouthpiece for a previously nonexistent job that circumvents the existing bureaucracy. When you have a success like Iraq on your resume you know you are smarter than everybody else right ?

While you wonder what job he's gonna get next,

Stay Naked.
