How do you feel about Paul Wolfowitz

It's been several months now since the announcement, and several weeks since the event, so I thought I'd ask people around town today, "So, how do you feel about Paul Wolfowitz heading the World Bank?" Lots of blank stares. I feel it's extremely intriguing that Wolfowitz & Clinton are now working together.

In 1998 Wolfowitz & others tried to enlist Clinton in attacking Iraq with unsubstantiated claims of "weapons of mass destruction" and a "misguided" United Nations. Of course, waiting in the wings was Bush with open ears, who hired Wolfowitz to be his front man on the war, and waited patiently from Jan 20, 2001 to Sept 11, 2001 so he could slap the demonization of Sadam Hussein onto the Amercan public. Few, sadly very few, people even remember that it was not Iraqis that attacked the United States, but Saudi Arabians. Front page news, but who was listening. Even Paul Wolfowitz admitted that Cheney was lying by implying Iraq had anything to do with September 11; but who was listening?

And who is listening now? I do not know what Paul Wolfowitz plans to do with the World Bank. His politics tell us he's going to use his position to further US interests overseas. But, that's nothing new. What interests me is how he was able to gain the support of the people who control the position of President Of The World Bank. Fascinating stuff, none of which bodes well for any sign of world stability.

Anyone who has never visited the web pages of The Project For The New American Century ought to do so. This is not a secret government conspiracy. Their conspiracy has been open and publically available since it's inception. But, again the question - who's listening? The mere fact that Paul Wolfowitz becoming the head of the World bank was front page news, yet no one remembers two weeks later is damn scary.
