" In an emotional appeal on Tuesday to the World Bank's board to keep
his job, Paul Wolfowitz said a loss of confidence in his leadership would
be "grossly unfair" and he called for a fair resolution in a
dispute over a pay and promotion deal for his companion.

In a last pitch to explain his actions in the agreement he directed for
World Bank Middle East expert Shaha Riza, which sparked controversy in the
bank, World Bank President Wolfowitz promised to make changes to his
management style to regain the trust of bank staff.

"I respectfully submit, to criticize my actions or to find them as a
basis for a loss of confidence would be grossly unfair and would be
contrary to the evidence we have presented to you," Wolfowitz said in
a statement to the board distributed by his lawyers.

"Rather than fix blame for something that wasn't wrong, we should all
acknowledge our responsibility as I have acknowledged mine," he said,
acknowledging he was not without fault.

He urged the board to be fair as it considered whether he should stay,
resign or be fired for his actions.

"I implore each of you to be fair in making your decision, because
your decision will not only affect my life, it will affect how this
institution is viewed in the United States and the world," Wolfowitz
said.

"You still have the opportunity to avoid long-term damage by resolving
this matter in a fair and equitable way that recognizes that we all tried
to do the right thing, however imperfectly we went about it," he
added.""

Oh Wolfie you're so fine you're so fine it blows my mind.....

Sheesh. I have the feeling that unless he is allowed to stay we are going
to have a whole new right wing "stabbed in the back by...." set
of myths.....

Amazing quite how full of self-importance he is...e.g.

""I implore each of you to be fair in making your decision,
because your decision will not only affect my life, it will affect how this
institution is viewed in the United States and the world,""


ohh riiiight....most in the US will go "wozzzat?" whereas in the
3'rd world your actions have had an effect globally....wrt people &
corruption...

But hey it will be a secretive cabal of "anti-right thinking
people" wot will "conspire" to remove an innocent &
blameless man...

What's funny is that I remember when Wolfie got the job & the right
wing love in crowd were leaping up & down....

Well...the EU guy is still in place a the WTO....
