Sharks pounce on Paul Wolfowitz
May 15th 2007 10:37
Earlier this afternoon, Google flashed the first news about the Wolfowitz affair, the results of the World Bank inquiry against him which were leaked to the Press. It must have been late evening in the US. The verdict was against Wolfowitz but it was supposed to be released tomorrow. I have been taking Wolfowitz's side for some time now and I was dispirited to hear that new evidence cropped up against him.I hurriedly checked conservative blogs and their silence seemed ominous.
But, now it must be late night in the US but both the Wall Street Journal and the American Thinker have come up strongly in support of the matter. It seems the latest round of selective press leaks is as bogus as the rest of this whipped-up controversy..
By tomorrow, Paul Wolfowitz maybe gone. All this is happening because of tacit support of the Democrats in the US. They might just wish to spite the neocons whom theyhate so much. But, the result of the matter will be far worse.
Hitchens and WSJ speculate that this putsch is being carried out by European politicians who want to dethrone US from the long-held tradition that the World Bank president will be a US national. But, they are not connecting the dots. There is now a serious movement underway for what's been called transnational progressivism. Now that the US has decisively moved to the Right, it can no longer be allowed to man these supra-national organizations. Now that the politics of the Left have been definitely defeated at the national level, they are moving to where into these unaccountable, bureaucratic but international insititutions and if the US is cowed down, it is only a matter of time before the rest of us will be made to buckle under them.
If the UN bureaucrats decide global warming is true, then its true. It will produce a bogus report made by the ideological zealots and truth be damned and all of have will have to bear the effects. And if any official believes in reforming them, ridding them of corruption, make them accountable, then they will do to him what they did to Wolfowitz. So slowly, the national governments will be brought to heel, one by one. Only democracies which provide the chance to alternative viewpoints will have anything to lose under these systems. The tyrants and the corrupt will flourish.
Welcome to the brave new world !
