Clearly Wolfowitz, along with BushBlair, sees the world differently, but whereas BushBlair has divine focus realignment to give them their privileged vision, Wolfowitz may get his from somewhere deeper and darker. Although God has been shading Satan in the disaster stakes lately, perhaps Wolfowitz could restore the balance a little, but only if he is empowered by the resources of the World Bank.. .

He is in no position to lead the bank's anti corruption policies, he should be fired

Jay Tabatabai, Los Angeles, Ca.

Surely, the people who followed Wolfowitz's direction must also be guilty of corruption. Why did they not report it to the appropriate at the appropriate time.

Everyone who was involved in the deal should be investigated.

If not, sounds like a set up by a closed and vindictive leftist oriented bureacracy.

The World Bank's credibility does not depend of Wolfowitz resigning. It is already seen at a corrupt entity. It is a pathetic organisation that exists to serve the egos, and personal financial needs of those employed by it.

Fire him, but be subtle about it. Whisper that President Bush plans to honor him with a "Freedom Medal" like that given to Franks, Bremer, Tenent and other administration noteworthys. Soon as delighted Wolfy departs for Washington, enter his empty office, box up all his personal effects (including photo of his lavishly paid lady-love, of course) and stack everything on the sidewalk outside. Lock the office door behind you. Job Done!

Fire him without delay

honesty is new at the world bank, Wolfowitz <when you find out the facts>is leading the way and needs to stay.

dana, trenton, maine

Who at the bank (besides Wolfowitz himself) wants him to stay?

Mark, Seattle, WA

Why wait one more minute before which he is fired. Wolfowitz, and those of a rightwing philosophy, labours under the mistaken apprehension that he can do whatever he wishes. Terminate his employment forthwith.

Demetrius Pritchett, Chicago, IL

Being a key player in the ill-conceived declaration of war on Iraq and besmirching the integrity of the World Bank with, in both cases, the audacity to claim he has been without error certainly qualifies Mr. Wolfowitz for a future life in the private sector. For example, there is always room for one more really good con man in the televangelist field.

Ray Andrews, The Villages, FL

wolfowitz MUST resign now !!

sinha, germany,

He's a very bad apple, fire him.

mel, washington, dc

worfowitz's arrogance and stupidity have no bounds. shock and awe us baby.

rose, big bug, arizona

Wolfowitz is a delusional monomaniac. He now hires an attorney as if he was appearing before a senate hearing-- could take the fifth, and prolong the misery of his making.

Washingtonian, Washington, DC

This man is a disgrace and an embarrassment to our country Get him out!! Let's not look even more foolish by trying to defend the indefensible. His selection is yet another example of the incompetence of this pathetic administration. Rewards for the incompetent. Is there another medal this pitiful president can give him? He is part of the terrible legacy which will follow this administration into the furure. How sad. I used to be a republican, and I grieve for them.

Paul Wolfowitz should certainly stay as head of the World Bank because he has done nothing that justifies a resignation, as even the most cursory reading of the history of this affair reveals. But the cabal of European ministers who are terrified that Wolfowitz's anti-corruption campaign will bring an end to the gravy train they've enjoyed for so many years should certainly be sacked en masse.

David, Bournemouth, UK

Wolfowitz must resign now.

Paul Crevier, McLean,

Go man, for God's sake go! Save what little shred of dignity you have left.

Paul Parker, Manchester, UK

Fire him now!

Drew, Boston, Massachusetts

Wolfowitz must go.

thomas passero, grahamsville, ny

Why won't he just go. what keeps him ? His behavior since this patronage was disclosed should clue the Bank that you can't work with him. His shamelessness is staggering.
