Head scratcher
Bush cites Wolfowitz's Pentagon experience in choosing him to head the
World Bank. Considering his atrocious track record at Defense, the Bank
should get ready for an epidemic of waste, fraud and corruption.

The last few years notwithstanding, Wolfowitz spent at least a little time
learning under some real diplomatcs, during Reagan's tenure, and performed
fairly well. Unfortunately, he forgot what he learned, especially during
sticky affairs like the removal of Ferdinand Marcos from power. And
unfortunately, the current president is too stupid to not see that the last
few years were NOT the high point of Wolfowitz's resumé. He should go back
further, but he is unable to.

I'm wondering if someone has suggested to Bush that Wolfowitz be buried at
the World Bank because it'll keep him bogged down in committee thinking, and
therefore, relatively quiet.
