Wolfowitz appointed chairman of arms-control advisory panel at State Dept.
WASHINGTON - Paul Wolfowitz, the former World Bank president and former deputy secretary of defense who was instrumental in the US decision to invade Iraq in 2003, has been named chairman of a panel that advises the State Department on arms-control issues.

Wolfowitz, now a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, will head Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's International Security Advisory Board, the State Department said yesterday in a statement.

"The ISAB provides the Department of State with a source of independent insight, advice, and innovation on all aspects of arms control, disarmament, nonproliferation, political-military issues, and international security and related aspects of public diplomacy," the State Department said.

Wolfowitz was among the senior US officials who warned of Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction capabilities, a key justification for invading Iraq and toppling the late dictator Saddam Hussein.

"Disarming Iraq of its chemical and biological weapons and dismantling its nuclear weapons program is a crucial part of winning the war on terror," Wolfowitz told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York in January 2003, two months before the US-led invasion of Iraq.

Wolfie is like a disease that just will not go away. I look forward to the day we don't have to see his criminal face anymore. Will any of these crooks ever go to jail? Any of them?

4. He had to have a job and no one else would hire his sleezy ass
except this criminal administration.

Maybe they'll pay him enough so that he can afford some new socks.

10. He's so credible, I'm sure the United States will benefit.
Truth is - wouldn't he be one in the group of those who are at the receiving end of the business of trading secrets and components? If Cheney is in, then Rumsefeld and Wolfowitz are in? Marvelous positioning.
