Another one of Resident Bush and Dick Cheney's friends who was given a position for which he had no experience.
As if that isn't bad enough, Paul Wolfowitz gives a woman that he happens to be sleeping with a nice transfer and a cushy raise to go along with it.
A $193,590 salary from $132,660 is a pretty good climb in income especially since it is all tax-free with his woman ( Shaha Ali Riza ) having status as a diplomat.
That in itself is bad enough, but to get transferred from the World Bank to the State Department and then on to another position and to still be drawing the income from the World Bank is just a little over the top!
This from the man ( Wolfowitz ) who is supposed to be looking into corruption in other countries who deal with or want to deal with the World Bank. That is the equivalent George Bush running a war. It ain't going to work!
Wolfowitz said that, “I made a mistake, for which I am sorry.” He got caught so now he is sorry.
Here's another good quote from the crook. “In hindsight, I wish I had trusted my original instincts and kept myself out of the negotiations.” Source
Mr. Wolfowitz directed the people at the World Bank to issue these raises to his girlfriend, so what negotiations would he be referring to?
I'm sorry, I forgot. In Republican lingo, negotiating is telling someone what to do without giving them any options.
Wolfowitz needs to resign or be fired and his girlfriend needs to reimburse the United States for the money that she has been paid since she left the job. Or Wolfowitz needs to pay it back.
