3. How Does Someone That Incompetent Get To Keep His Job? |
|
Deputy Defense Sec'y? And he is off by a factor of at least 9000%? Who in the private sector could get away with being that wrong about a financial decision? The Professor

.... private sector is not a problem. He ran 3 businesses into the ground but not before cashing out the liquidity in one before it's stock prices tumbled.
So I think he sees Wolfie as a smart guy.

7. Who was it rummy or Wolfie that said? |
|
"It will probably pay for itself."
My God there is a real world difference between sitting around AEI or PNAC offices and coming up with this shit then the real costs and outcomes.
Rummy, Cheney, Kristol, Pearle, Novak, Rush, Luffa Boy, Wolfie, Condie, and all the college repugs should be shipped over there ASAP.

Not only keeps his job but keeps getting promoted.
Ruined Indonesia and now onto other parts.
Paul Wolfowitz is the epitome of a technomaniacal homicidal bureaucrat. He is a war criminal.
To the Hague!

Can be counted on to rubber stamp the policies of the real overlords of Empire such as Lockheed-Martin CEO, Goldman Sachs Executive Board, Oil Barons etc.
Wolfie is a silver tongued coward.

14. Ahhh...but he DIDN'T get to keep his job |

He was PROMOTED to head of the World Bank. Hey, when you're THAT good with numbers, why confine yourself to the Pentagon budget when there's a whole world out there to be plundered!

12. We the taxpayers didn't have a say in this? |
|
Since the need to invade Iraq was bogus (and everyone knew it) why wasn't there a referendum. It's our hard earned money.
