こういう公私混同の人間のクズがイラク侵略の青写真を作ったのやから、道理でイラクで何百億ものカネが無くなったりするはずや。この際世銀だけやのうて、人間もやめたりや。方法は簡単や。最後に裏切ったブッシュに当てこすりでホワイトハウスの前行ってやな、全身に灯油をまんべんなくまぶして、タバコ吸うのや。
イギリスもドイツもカナダもみ〜んなウォルフォウィッツはクビや、いうて強硬姿勢やったらしいが、日本は最後まで唯一国ウォルフォウィッツを支持しとったそうや。ホンマにアメリカの忠犬ハチ公やな。少しは恥つーもんはないんかいな。もう阿部も外務大臣も外務次官もぜ〜んぶ全身に灯油をまぶしといてタバコ吸ったらいいのやないか。ごっつい素晴らしい世界が目の前に開けるで。
Wolfowitz on the brink as support ebbs away
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
Published: 16 May 2007
Paul Wolfowitz' survival at the World Bank looked shakier than ever last night after a majority of the major industrial countries indicated they wanted him to step down as the institution's president, and the US hitherto his strongest defender signalled it too could entertain that idea.
According to one official, only Japan of the G7 nations sided with Washington at a conference call of senior officials. The news emerged as the bank's board met to hear a last-ditch bid from Mr Wolfowitz to save his job, already imperilled by a scathing report from an internal committee.
The 52-page document found he had breached World Bank ethics rules in the award of a promotion and hefty pay rise for his partner. It accused him of displaying "a disregard" for the bank, and of mounting "an ugly public relations" campaign in which he had "denigrated the very institution he was selected to lead." The board must now make up its mind on what punishment to mete out. The options range from a reprimand through a vote of no confidence, to an outright demand for his resignation or even his dismissal. A decision is likely today.
Yesterday, the Bush administration again threw its weight behind the former deputy Secretary of Defence, still a figure of controversy for his advocacy of the Iraq war. "We support Paul Wolfowitz," White House spokesman Tony Snow repeated.
"He has said and we agree that certainly a lot of mistakes were made in the personnel process. But it's not a firing offence."
Similarly, Henry Paulson, the Treasury Secretary who has overall charge of US World Bank policy, has been busy on the phone, urging European colleagues to avoid a rush to judgement.
Ominously, however, Mr Snow declared that "at some point in the future" there would discussions about the management of the bank. In that sense, he added, "all options are on the table" a phrase indicating its backing for Mr Wolfowitz has definite limits.
Earlier, the latter hit back at his critics, insisting he had acted in good faith in arranging the pay rise and promotion for his girlfriend Shaha Riza who worked at the bank before being seconded to the State Department soon after Mr Wolfowitz became president in 2005, to avoid any conflict of interest.
From the outset, the six-week old crisis has been about considerably more than perks accorded to Ms Riza, or even the resented management style of Mr Wolfowitz and his reliance on a clique of imperious aides brought with him from the Bush administration.
The struggle reflects the wide international antagonism to the foreign policy of the Bush administration above all the decision to invade Iraq in 2003, of which Mr Wolfowitz, a leading neo-conservative was a prime architect. The lines are drawn much as they were then, with the US and a few allies supporting the embattled bank President, in the face of strong demands from the same European countries which opposed the war for the departure of Mr Wolfowitz now.
