All the President's Men in Trouble

DETROIT -- Wolfie is walking the plank with a dagger in his ribs as Gonzo stays afloat, shoving his top officers overboard. That's the way it is on the sinking, stinking ship of state with master Dick Cheney at the helm and commander George W. Bush mapping the battle plan.

Paul Wolfowitz belatedly got sacked as president of the World Bank for his unethical behavior in getting his girlfriend a fat raise and then covering his tracks, lying about his dirty deed. Wolfowitz got the World Bank job after serving as deputy defense secretary. He was the intellectual guru for the neoconservatives who wanted to invade Iraq long before the Sept. 11 attacks, which they used as the pretext for spreading democracy in the Middle East, protecting Israel and grabbing a little oil in the process.

Wolfowitz, along with his boss Donald Rumsfeld, tried out the wacky ideas, naked aggression and imperialism the deluded nation-builders from the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) had long advocated.

The PNAC white paper became a river of red blood in Iraq. It was the worst foreign policy blunder in American history. Wolfowitz promised liberation, freedom and prosperity for the Iraqi people. They got carnage, torture and squalor. Wolfowitz has been so wrong, so often and on so many critical decisions, the only job he is now fit for is to become president of the Detroit Lions, the most poorly managed sports franchise on earth.
