May 7, 2007, 12:37 p.m.Could he have had an attack of conscience? Let's hope there is still some good among all the bad.

May 7, 2007, 6:50 p.m.Wolfowitz, Take a hint. The Only person in the universe that likes your policy is the person that appointed (nominated, but same difference) you - G.W. Bush.
G.W.Bush and gang - A pack of losers that don't even have the grace to depart in style. A bad stand-up comedian has more class than this bunch.

May 7, 2007, 8:28 p.m.This guy is like a growing cancer on the World Bank. It's members have an obligation to get his corrupt $$ out of the Bank! Imagine this weasel telling other corrupt tin-pot dictators to shape up! They will laugh him out of their countries!
For all the harm that this monster has done to our country, a swift kick on his behind would be the best thing he can hope for.
Now, if our Congress has any guts, it will fetch this creep for some committee hearings, and maybe even send him to a special prosecutor for all the lies, deceits and manipulations he has done to sacrifice 3400 of our brave soldiers and 24,000 permanently disabled veterans who will suffer for the rest of their lives. Let him PAY!

May 7, 2007, 9:57 p.m.Condi said you had to convince the subcommitee that Al Qaeda was a valid threat at the start of he Bush administration. In the subcommitte was Wolfowitz who adamantly stated that Al Qaeda was linked to Sadam. So, Wolfowitz' unbased assertion set the Bush administration back until almost 911, disregarding the fact that Dubya was trying to set a record for being an vacation anyway. Even after 911, no one was as vocal for going after Sadam for 911 as Wolfowitz, the same idiot who put preemptive war and unilaterialism into the '92 Defense Planning Guidance. So, 6 days after 911 Dubya directed Rummy to develop a military plan for Iraq! Although he will probably get a Medal of Freedom like Tenet, he deserves the World Court, charges of war crimes, and lifelong imprisonment!

May 7, 2007, 10:16 p.m.Wolfowitz, the despicable Republican and assistant architect of the Iraq fiasco. An abomination caught red handed with lipstick on his pants. A true conservative that espouses one side of an issue while corrupting the issues with hypocrisy.
This sad example of humanity has no self esteem instead attempting to hang onto a position he has made untenable.
He is a Bush crony and epitomizes the Bush administration, but go ahead you conservative hacks, defend this imbecile crook since he is a Republican.

May 7, 2007, 10:47 p.m.You must be living under a rock!
"No proof" you say!
How about pushing his Libyan "Girlfriend" onto State Department and demanding a quarter million dollar TAX-FREE pay for her, in flagrant violation of the World Bank policy, and then trying to hide it and sweep it under the rug! This guy is a liar, cheater and conniver par excellence!
Wake up my friend, see some daylight! That will open your eyes!

May 7, 2007, 10:49 p.m....only an idiot would bring up a totally unrelated fact such as loans to the terrorists... wait a second, you're a republican and you would consider a loan to the enemy if you could make a profit! All the more a Republican to do something evil and blame it on the Dems before you can be accused of such! We got you figured out libfighter fool!

May 8, 2007, 12:55 a.m.Is all this name calling really necessary? Seems to me it only helps to lower the level of the discussion and accomplishes nothing positive.
1) "Good people" (Bush, Wolfowitz) don't always make good decisions or work in the best interests of the other good people they have vowed to serve.
2) Criticism is a critical ingredient for a functioning democracy and the overall strength and health of the US political system.
3) Lack of support for Bush or Wolfowitz is not support of terrorism - in fact, there is substantial evidence that the current administration's foreign policies have only served to feed the growth of terrorism worldwide.

May 8, 2007, 9:04 a.m.How about this for a solution:
1. Wolfowitz and Gonzoles both resign. Then.....
2. Gonzoles gets nominated for World Bank Position and Wolfowitz gets nominated for Justice.....Bush is happy
3. Senate does not confirm appointments.
4. Wolfowitz and Gonzoles get professorships at Bob Jones University (Wolfowitz' post being in the Old Testament Department)
5. EVERYBODY comes out ahead!!

May 8, 2007, 10:08 a.m.The bigger picture for the despise against Bush in America is that most can readily see he has/is taking this country down the tube as the Romans. Unbelieveable, that all Americans have trouble seeing what is in front of them, whether Republican or Democrat.
I can understand the conservative hawks since war is their forte and reason for living, but a pragmatic thinking person adoring Bush, Lunacy.
