Wolfowitz Says He’s the Victim of Smear Campaign

WASHINGTON, April 30 — Paul D. Wolfowitz declared vigorously today that it would be “unjustly and frankly hypocritical” for the World Bank’s board of directors to find him guilty of ethical lapses. But he also hinted that he would discuss whether to resign as bank president if the board clears him of misconduct.

Appearing before a subcommittee of the board today and going on the attack after weeks of public silence, Mr. Wolfowitz also charged today that he had been the victim of “orchestrated leaks of false, misleading, incomplete and personal information” that were “part of a conscious campaign to undermine my effectiveness as president.”

“The goal of this smear campaign, I believe, is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy that I am an ineffective leader and must step down for that reason alone, even if the ethics charges are unwarranted,” he said, adding that his resignation under such circumstances would send a “terrible message,” making an impossible situation for any successor.

7. Wolfie had no problem smearing any Democrat that disagreed

with his verision of how the Iraq war would go. 3,331, at least, dead due to his lies leading up to the invasion. This guy has no shame.

14. Damn

We can't wait for the repubs to start impeachent. Murtha is talking about impeachment and of course there is some trash talk about him saying that. Someone has to say it that counts. Isn't this how the "get out of Iraq" talk started, with Murtha?

8. he is smeared alright

Smeared with the blood of 3300 troops, and the blood of innocent Iraqi children. Hey Paul, any of your 3 kids fighting in the war you created? Didn't think so....

13. bah. "would discuss whether to resign... IF the board clears him

of misconduct". What a joke. He would immediately claim that since he was cleared of misconduct, that clearly there is no reason to resign. We have watched Wolfowitz and his closest allies too much recently to believe that this statement has any meaning, let alone giving the Board of the World Bank an out (per having to fire him.) If the "clear him" - he will not leave. They would be foolish to think otherwise.
