The New York Times > AP > National > Bush to Recommend Wolfowitz for World Bank Post

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Wednesday tapped Defense Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, who has been a lightning rod for criticism of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and other defense policies, to take over as head of the World Bank.

Bush told a news conference that Wolfowitz, now Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's top deputy, was ``a compassionate, decent man who will do a fine job at the World Bank. That's why I put him up.''

Yeah, Umm... I guess... If you consider a decent manthe kind that just can't wait to take his country to war under false pretences and then defend those false pretences in the light of mounting evidence to the contrary.... then yes, I guess he would be decent.

The very paragon of virtue our Mr. Wolfowitz.

Then again it would get him out of the defence department...
