Bush picks Wolfowitz to be head of World Bank

In another instance of liars, crooks, and felons getting promoted by Bush, Paul Wolfowitz has been appointed as head of the World Bank. As to Wolfowitz's qualifications for this post, Bush said, "He's a man of good experiences."

This is just perfect. The World Bank is essentially a group of global loan sharks. Wolfie should fit right in. Why invade when you can own them?

For a good insight into how the World Bank operates, The Dope recommends "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins.
