The Defenestration of the Neocons
April 17th 2007 01:17
Donald Rumsfeld. DOuglas Feith. John Bolton. And now Paul Wolfowitz. Every one of neocons has been actively hounded and defanged and shamed and put out of office. But the latest " scandal " at the World Bank to get rid of Paul Wolfowitz shows the extent of corruption in the multilateral system.
Paul's been under fire for providing an unethical salary increase to his girlfriend. It turns out that Paul Wolfowitx tried to recuse himself of his girlfriend's amtter when he stepped in as the President. Not only the ethics board at the World banks stopped him from doing it but it actually suggested the salary increase which they tried to pin down on Wolowitz! He must be annoying the top brass of the World Bank where was fighting corruption, just as John Bolton annoyed the UN thugs where he tried to bring accountability to that monstrous bureaucracy. The international press went along with it because, as Melanie Phillips puts it , they are "obsessively seeking revenge upon Wolfowitz for his (absurdly) presumed role in single-handedly taking the west to war in Iraq."
Sensing weakness in the current Bush adminsitration and that no one will robably care for him, the bureaucrats set him up and pounced on him. Only belatedly, the Wall Start Journal has come with an analysis that proves how single-minded and mendacious this whole affair has been. Curiously enough, the media which went hog wild with the stories suggesting he might be forced to resign are stunningly silent on the latest papers released which show that he is innocent of any wrongdoing.
Obviously, there is a nexus between the so-called multilateralists, the US media and the Democratic Party. Why are we concerned about this issue? Because institutions like the World Bank and the UN have become bloated global bureaucracies incapable of reform, corruption-ridden and capable of allowing economies to plunge into chaose and nations to descend into genocide. Not only they are useless but they are actually harmful. And also, they have come to acquire power over the entire world and they are not representative. And our only hope for a meaningful reform lies in the hands of people committed and idealistic people like John Bolton and Paul Wolfowitz. John Bolton was shamefully defenstrated by Malloch Brown, Kofi Annan's dog, plotted and got him out. A similiar thing is happening here and I am surprised by lack of reaction even in the blogosphere.
As WSJ concludes, "The only way this fiasco could get any worse would be for Mr. Wolfowitz to resign in the teeth of so much dishonesty and cravenness. We're glad the Bush Administration isn't falling for this Euro-bureaucracy-media putsch. Mr. Wolfowitz has apologized for any mistakes he's made, though we're not sure why. He's the one who deserves an apology."
