Germany, Canada approve Wolfmanowitz as World Bank head
:wtf: Yes it is true. The governments of Canada and Germany have voiced their approval of Paul "Wolfman" Wolfowitz as the new head of the World Bank. The World Bank is going to be screwed as is many Third World nations. Wolfowitz is going to exploit the hell out of those poor countries. The devil, or in his case the wolf is in the details....

3. We just told Bush we would not accept his toy gun system shooting

down bombs on our north.. till there was more information. I think we had to take a bath on this one. Speaking of baths.. as Wolfie been taken aside and explained about the Naizorol yet? It really works on wolf dander.

Also PM Martin is meeting in CRAWFORD on some day soon. He is probably very frightened. I would be. All those sociopaths do is extract a pound of flesh. And what with Fox & Bush having the same distribution of wealth in their countries (Russia, only 15 years old and run by the oligarchs is at the same rate) they may put pressure on Martin he knows he cannot say yes too (he must be very frightened.. and all the political operatives will have written out the script). :scared:

I'm betting that if Martin does not come back to Canada with a big huge Quebec wedge between his teeth... he will be happy. (They've already tried that). So I am sorry the rest of the world.. we are in no position to take a stand on anything (we are the type of people who whenever they find one single cow with CJ desease...we admit it publicly - not very sophisticated at all).

4. I feel that I have to apologize für Germany *sigh*
I knew they would sooner or later but I'd rather it had been later - far later. I knew the US are putting the thumbscrews on. Wonder what else will follow - the real reasons for the alleged success of the Bushista's :puke: "charm offensive" in Europe.

Haven't read about in in the German media - wonder whether they're ashamed, too, or just asleep. Probably the latter.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

5. I think we are all learning that you have to pick your battles with the
monsters. And perhaps Wolfie is desperate to redo his image..as being a war criminal was not sitting pretty.

Anyway..the Repukes are going down and even they know it.

6. Why apologize and for what?
I didn't heard an official statement yet. I think they do a very diplomatic 'back' to the Wolf. I think Germany and France knew there are a many others going to object him. So they don't have to be the 'bad' ones. I think they'll make a diplomatic turn around in the end.

Just wait and see.
