Disgraced Paul Wolfowitz has a new job in the US government. Heaven help us! He's been appointed chairman of an blue ribbon panel advising the US government on arms control. His credential: architect of a phony war in Iraq which is costing the ordinary American slag to dig very deep into empty pockets, and a high death rate among his sons and daughters. He's was pushed out of the presidency of the World Bank for nepotism. He fought hard to leave with a good conduct pass, but he got less than a general discharge. Still, as a pooh bah of America's neo cons, he quickly found a cushy post as a 'scholar' at the American Enterprise Institute, a very conservative think tank if you didn't know that before. And there he molted until his new high salary post as weigher of sensitive issues--nuclear deals with India and Pakistan. Ain't that a kick in the head. The designer of a phony war in Iraq is now a thinker of arms control. You've to be very dense to not see the supreme irony in such an appointment. It simply proves the right wing mini mouse Bush administration never lets its cronies down. Remember, 'you're doing a heck of a good job, Brownie' at the time of the disastrous aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? Well, you've have done a great job at the Pentagon in engineering a war in Iraq; you're a great guy who knows how to feather the bed of his squeeze at the World Bank, for which he got his pink slip!
Yesterday 18Brumaire commented on Condy Rice's putting Jay Lefkowitz, the Bush hitman on human rights in North Korea, in his place. She caught him poaching on the state department's turf on negotiations with Pyongyang on a nuclear deal. Now Wolfowitz who wrestled with her when she was national security advisor and then secretary of state, is in a good position to pillory her for a breakthrough with Kim Jong il. The tiresome right wing never gives up, in spite of the complete bankruptcy of their 7 year record in Herr Bush's regime. So, venal, corrupt, dishonest Paul Wolfowitz will push the envelope on North Korea and smooth the way for a deal with India even though it is rough going for the Singh government about the deal with the US.
Who's going to turn thumbs down on his criminal's appointment?
