Wolfowitz asked to resign from World Bank

WASHINGTON April 23 (UPI) -- An agency that oversees the World Bank is asking for the resignation of the bank's president, former deputy U.S. Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz.

In a document obtained by the Financial Times, the Independent Evaluation Group asked for Wolfowitz's immediate resignation, saying a continuation of his leadership will lead to "irreparable harm to worldwide efforts in poverty reduction and sustainable development."

The pressure for Wolfowitz to resign mounted last week, when 42 of the bank's senior former executives published an open letter urging his removal.

"There is only one way for Mr. Wolfowitz to further the mission of the bank: he must resign," the letter said.

The pressure to oust Wolfowitz comes as the board of the World Bank prepares to reach a decision on whether he broke bank rules when he ordered the bank's human resources chief to give his girlfriend a large pay raise.

A group of senior former World Bank employees has urged beleaguered head Paul Wolfowitz to resign, saying he can no longer be an effective leader.

Mr Wolfowitz is battling to remain in his job after admitting helping his partner win a promotion and pay rise.

More than 40 World Bank officials, including 18 former vice-presidents, published their call in an open letter to the Financial Times newspaper.

They said Mr Wolfowitz had "lost the trust and respect of bank staff".

28. Most excellent.......nt

[Catshrink]

29. Aw, come on, he'll just go somewhere else and fuck that up too.

I know, * will make him war czar. Oh wait, I think he tried that already. Didn't work out so well, did it, Wolfie?

[Venus Dog]

30. The comb-licker's girlfriend is a real piece of strange...

A foreign agent who had unlimited access to national security secrets. Got treason? :nuke:

[ClayZ]

31. K and R Down with PNAC'ers!

[jazzjunkysue]

32. Does his majesty the decider have any power to stop this?

As in, "Wolfie has my total confidence?"

[caligirl]

34. Fantastic! PNAC member in disgrace.

[Vidar]

35. Resign hell. Drag him out by a boat hook & hang him high,

[liberalla]

36. They need to FIRE him!

He won't just resign because they ask him to!

Especially considering this part:

"...the Independent Evaluation Group asked for Wolfowitz's immediate resignation, saying a continuation of his leadership will lead to "irreparable harm to worldwide efforts in poverty reduction and sustainable development."

Heck! That's "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" for Wolfie! You've got to threaten him with something they don't want to achieve.
