Awwwwww... Wolfie says he's getting SMEARED...

i simply cannot fathom how he could think that... when george made the nomination, the world financial community was very unhappy about it... his tenure so far has been marked by cronyism and chronic employee dissatisfaction... he has assiduously tried to impose an ideological agenda on the bank... and we haven't even gotten to the girlfriend problem yet... but SMEARED...? uh, no... i don't think so...

Embattled World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz said Monday he was the victim of a trumped up "smear campaign" aimed at forcing him to resign his position.

And signalling his intention to fight allegations that he improperly pushed a generous pay package for his girlfriend, the World Bank chief said he would not quit amid such "bogus charges."

"The goal of this smear campaign, I believe, is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy that I am an ineffective leader and must step down for that reason alone," Wolfowitz said in a statement to a World Bank investigatory committee.

"I, for one, will not give into such tactics," the former Pentagon deputy defense secretary vowed, as the panel met to weigh Wolfowitz's actions.

"And, I will not resign in the face of a plainly bogus charge of conflict of interest," he stressed.

and, remember, all of the above has come AFTER his major role in championing and leading the united states into an illegal war in iraq, along with his buds, cheney, feith and perle... he doesn't need to be smeared... the facts are plain...
