Wolfowitz Gets New Job At State Department

White House Insider Forced From World Bank Gig Will Now Head Powerful Arms Control Panel

(CBS/AP)  Former World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz will head a high-level advisory panel on arms control and disarmament, the State Department said Thursday.

The move by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice marks a return to government for Wolfowitz, a conservative with close ties to the White House. As deputy defense secretary under President Bush, he was a major architect of the Iraq war.

Wolfowitz was replaced as World Bank chief last June after a stormy two-year tenure. His leadership was undermined by a furor over a hefty compensation package he arranged in 2005 for a bank employee who was also his girlfriend.

Wolfowitz will become chairman of the International Security Advisory Board, which reports to the secretary of state. The panel is charged with supplying independent advice on arms control, disarmament, nonproliferation and related subjects.

State Department spokesman Tom Casey said Wolfowitz is not being paid in his new position, reports CBS News reporter Charles Wolfson.

The portfolio includes commentary on several high-profile issues, including pending nuclear deals with India and North Korea and an offer to negotiate with Iran over its disputed nuclear program.

Wolfowitz currently is a defense and foreign policy studies expert at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative Washington think tank.

Controversy over job arrangements for his companion, Shaha Riza, put the World Bank's staff of 10,000 worldwide in revolt, tarnished the bank's reputation and strained relations with other countries, especially Europeans, who led the charge for Wolfowitz's ouster.

Wolfowitz was essentially forced to step down after a special panel found that he broke bank rules. He was replaced by Robert Zoellick, who had been Rice's No. 2 at the State Department and the administration's top trade envoy.

The Bush Administration owes billions to wolfie he was the person who Bush sent to Iraq first to organize Iraq ( although he was there to move the billions of dollars in cash to offshore and foreign banks) and they cant take a chance he might write a tell all book about the crime of the century

This is for our president in disguise *** Cheney

[kansas1946]

Just another "family values" Republican in the administration. With all of these over-sexed old men in the Republican party, I imagine they have planned orgies at their conventions.

[undermyboot]

Wolfowitz was a Neocon who was central to the Bush conspiracy to invade Iraq and lie their way into it. When their Iraq plans went into the toilet, Wolfowitz hid out at the World Bank. There he distinguished himself as a self-serving ***-addict, soiling the good name of America. Now that the Iraq war is in year 6, Bush figures the criminal failures of this man have been forgotten, so here he is- back on the TAXPAYER TEAT. Accountability Bush style. LMAO

[undermyboot]

Really? CBS censors "s-e-x"? as in "s-e-x addict"? This is the Christian Taliban at work. Be careful. We are slowly becoming the new "Christian States of America" where the Christian Taliban will execute blasphemers and "undesirables" (people not exactly like them).

[rowdytexan2]

Good Gawd! Another crook back in the administration! Are we surprised???

[lawyertom1]

A sure sign that the lies and distortions will continue with renewed vigor.

Wasn''t Wolfie the brainiac that told us that oil would pay for the Iraqi reconstruction? I had enough smarts to know he was full of it. Did you?

Yes, what genius that dope is.

[ubrew12]

Hopefully, he can get his girlfriend a job at the State Dept also. That way, they can both lecture Bill Clinton on the dangers of getting a BJ.

New Emblem

The government announced today that it is changing its emblem from an eagle to a condom. This will more accurately reflect the governments'' political stance.

A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you are actually being screwed.

***, it just doesn''t get more accurate than that!

[brianbwb-2009]

Wolfie is also the one who helped place Israeli spies into the pentagon.

A pro Israel "superhawk" that, under Bush Sr., was given the job as US ambassador to the country with the largest population of Muslims in the world, Indonesia.

I couldn''t care less about his booty on the side, there are much more important matters to which he must answer.

[boatdocster]

He might be a smart guy but every bit of planning or strategy from this NEOCON Nazi over the last 8 years has been 1000% dead wrong.

Stupid is as stupid does. No surprise that the loser Rice hired him back. Condi to Wolfi; "Lets screw it up again"!!!

[watcher269-2009]

He blackmailed his way into this job! The next President if Democrat will fire him. Also, look at it this way. The private sector did not hire him - so where are his buddies out there?

[castanea-2009]

This guy ought to be cleaning toilets in Baghdad, he''s sh*t on enough things over there !!

[dakotaclark]

Hmmm...

This person does not deserve to work for the U.S. government.

[ontheleft]

Disgusting. This guy is slime. Less than a year to go and the Bush chapter in U.S. history will be an unpleasant memory.

[greatdrivew]

LOL The architect of the failed "Wolfowitz Doctrine of Pre-emption" is now Bush''s advisor for arms control and disarmament. LOL

And Bush wonders why he and his cronies have zero credibility worldwide. I bet this new job will add a hefty sum to Wolfy''s pension though, won''t it?

[shanev137]

Not surprising that the robot drone Condosleezza Rice made this happen.

[Krazcarl]

He misappropiates funds but gets a new job in the adminastration love that good ole boy network he knows to much and they have to keep him happy before he writes a book.

[samrensho]

At least he''s back in the same department as his squeeze. Can''t beat the Bush administration for out and out corruption. I wonder how many millions this is costing the taxpayer???

[watcher269-2009]

I just wish he would trim his nose hairs!

[neoconrcrazy]

this failed neocon is a symbol for all the misery this reckless war has caused us.

i say he dusts off his israeli passport and goes back to the Jewish State of Israel - where he belongs and for whom he has been working these last years.

[bluestardad]

ANOTHER AIPAC MEMBER ISRAELI NEOCON WHO IS CORRUPT AND WILL KEEP AMERICA TANGLED UP IN THE MIDDLE EAST AS LONG AS HE IS PERMITTED TO BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

AMERICA DO SOMETHING OR SHUT UP!

"Wolfowitz Gets New Job At State Department"

George W. Bush is going out of his way to annoy the American people.

He"s the naughty little schoolboy putting the little girls" pigtails in the inkwell.

[truthspeake2]

I guess GW has figured that he still has time to screw up this country even more...GOD only knows what this guy will owe and pay him after GW leaves the white house. GW and his long list of friends will reap the fruits of us taxpayers long after he leaves office but the king of them all is Kenneth Lay who''s in the witness protection program and still very much alive and doing very well thanks to GW. Remember folks, the bigger the lie, the more people believe it!

[iceman_1960]

Let the record show that Russ Feingold and Barbara Boxer, both Jewish, have always opposed this war.

Boxer wanted U.S. troops in Darfur, not Iraq, and calls her anti-war vote the best of her career.

Feingold was the first Congressman to come out for censuring Bush.

[juwboy]

george2221:

Some of your best friends are Jewish, right?

[ahrats]

Luckily Wolfowitz and Rice will not be in office much longer but I bet they find WMD''s in Iran so we can invade there before the year is out. Why else are they secretly tring to establish permanet military bases in Iraq and putting more troops in Afganistan. We have Iran surrounded just need an excuse to invade. I''m sure Wolfe will find something the Bush administration can use, may even get his girl another big contract with the state department.

[iceman_1960]

Half of the Jewish Senators voted against the decision to go to war in 2002.

By contrast, every one of the Chinese American Congressmen voted in favor of war.

They say that China has been the main beneficiary of the American quagmire in Iraq.

You don"t suppose....?

HE''S BACK!

JUST DAY''S AFTER WOLFOWITZ, WAS NAMED IN THE RELEASE OF A STUDY THAT SAID BUSH AND HIS ADMINISTRATION, LED THIS COUNTRY TO WAR IN IRAQ, ON "FALSE PRETENSES" RESULTING IN THE DEATHS OF ALMOST 4,000 AMERICAN TROOPS. THE GREAT PEACEMAKER HIRES HIM BACK.

BUSH ALSO RENOMATED STEVEN BRADBURY, AS ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHO HAS SIGNED LEGAL MEMOS AUTHORIZING HARSH INTERROGATIONS FOR SUSPECTED TERRORIST.

NOW THIS ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE U. S. IS PREPARED TO SEND TROOPS TO PAKISTAN.

SOUNDS LIKE THE GREAT PEACEMAKER IS TRYING TO BRING BACK ALL THE OLD CRONNIES. WHO''S NEXT?

MAYBE, RUMMY,BREMMER,POWELL, ALL NAMED IN THE REPORT THAT SAID BUSH LED THIS COUNTRY TO WAR IN IRAQ "BASED ON FALSE PRETENSES."

HMMMMMMMMMM!

"Wolfowitz Gets New Job At State Department"

This decision was no doubt finalized by Bush himself with these words: "Lets rub their noses in it."

And he was probably "sauced" at the time.

Once a frat boy, always a frat boy.

[iceman_1960]

"Once a frat boy, always a frat boy."

If Congress had a mascot, Bush would order the CIA to kidnap it.

Boys just wanna have fun.

[formrusmcsgt]

"The panel is charged with supplying independent advice on arms control, disarmament, nonproliferation and related subjects."

This man Wolfowicz, above all others, has shown the poorest of reasoning skills and judgement and is the last one who should be "advising" anyone on anything.

He contended that Iraq would cost $50-60 billion. He was real close on that one, eh?

He contended that Iraq would pay for itself. He was only 180 degrees out on that one.

Apparently, he has to buy his women.....
