"Axis of George Soros" Behind Paul Wolfowitz Coup Attempt - Click HERE to go to the original thread with graphics
VacateTheWord
Axis of Soros
The men and motives behind the World Bank coup attempt.

Mark Malloch Brown spoke Monday to a crowded auditorium at the World Bank's headquarters, warning that the bank's mission was "hugely at risk" as long as Paul Wolfowitz remained its president. Only hours earlier, news leaked that a special committee investigating Mr. Wolfowitz had accused him of violating conflict-of-interest rules. A coincidence? We doubt it.

Mr. Malloch Brown, remember, was until last year Kofi Annan's deputy at the United Nations. In that position, he distinguished himself by spinning away the $100 billion Oil for Food scandal as little more than a blip in the U.N.'s good work, and one that had little to do with Mr. Annan himself. Last week, Mr. Malloch Brown was named vice president of the Quantum Fund, the hedge fund run by his billionaire friend George Soros. A former World Bank official himself and ally of soon-to-be British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Mr. Malloch Brown would almost surely be a leading candidate to replace Mr. Wolfowitz should he step down. Not surprisingly, Gordon Brown cold-shouldered Mr. Wolfowitz at a recent meeting in Brussels.

The bank presidency would be a neat coup for Sir Mark, and not just because the post has heretofore gone to an American. He also stands for everything Mr. Wolfowitz opposes, beginning with the issue of corruption. Consider Mr. Malloch Brown's defense of the U.N.'s procurement practices.

"Not a penny was lost from the organization," he insisted last year, following an audit of the U.N.'s peacekeeping procurement by its Office of Internal Oversight Services. In fact, the office found that $7 million had been lost from overpayment; $50 million worth of contracts showed indications of bid rigging; $61 million had bypassed U.N. rules; $82 million had been lost to mismanagement; and $110 million had "insufficient" justification. That's $310 million out of a budget of $1.6 billion, and who knows what the auditors missed.

Mr. Malloch Brown also made curious use of English by insisting that Paul Volcker's investigation into Oil for Food had "fully exonerated" Mr. Annan. In fact, Mr. Volcker's report made an "adverse finding" against the then-Secretary-General. Among other details, the final report noted that Mr. Annan was "aware of [Saddam's] kickback scheme at least as early as February 2001," yet never reported it to the U.N. Security Council, much less the public, a clear breach of his fiduciary responsibilities as the U.N.'s chief administrative officer. Mr. Malloch Brown described the idea that Mr. Annan might resign as "inappropriate political assassination"--a standard he apparently doesn't apply to political enemies like Mr. Wolfowitz.

Mr. Malloch Brown never made any serious attempt to reform the U.N. beyond the cosmetic, while doing everything he could to block the real reforms proposed by Americans Christopher Burnham and former Ambassador John Bolton. He was, however, energetic when it came to lecturing Americans about what they owed the U.N., such as joining the "reformed" Human Rights Council (whose only achievement to date has been to castigate Israel), pursuing a "new multilateral national security," and otherwise empowering the likes of Mr. Malloch Brown, his multilateral mates and their tax-free salaries.





Views like these help explain why Mr. Malloch Brown is in such favor with Mr. Soros, who has publicly suggested the U.S. will need a "de-Nazification" program to erase the taint of the Bush Administration. So close are the two that Mr. Malloch Brown lives in a suburban New York home owned by Mr. Soros. Mr. Malloch Brown says he pays market rent, though reporting by the New York Sun's Benny Avni disputes that. In any case, it's safe to assume that Mr. Soros's widely published views are close to Mr. Malloch Brown's somewhat more guarded ones.
So it's not surprising that many on the World Bank staff would cheer Mr. Malloch Brown: He's perfect for an institutional culture in which "progressive" thinking goes hand-in-glove with a tolerance for corruption. That culture has been on vivid display in the Euro-coup against Mr. Wolfowitz. This weekend the committee investigating the claims dropped 600 pages in the president's lap and told him he had 48 hours to respond--in direct violation of World Bank staff rule 8.01, 4.09, which states that "the amount of time allowed a staff member to comment [on an investigative report] . . . will not be less than 5 business days." Following protests from Mr. Wolfowitz's lawyer, the committee gave him 72 hours.

This is the same kangaroo court that last month leaked its guilty verdict to the Washington Post before Mr. Wolfowitz even had a chance to plead his case. Our sources who have seen the committee's report tell us it is especially critical of Mr. Wolfowitz for daring to object publicly to the committee's methods and thereby bringing the bank's name into disrepute. The Europeans running this Red Queen proceeding prefer that they be able to smear with selective leaks without rebuttal.

Mr. Malloch Brown warned on Monday that, if Mr. Wolfowitz stayed as president, European countries might withhold funding from the next financing round for the bank's International Development Association. We hope he's right, though we know few European finance ministers who aren't eager to throw good money after bad. Still, it's a remarkable bit of chutzpah for the man who downplayed corruption at the U.N. to seek the ouster of the man who has fought to reduce corruption at the World Bank.

If the Bush Administration now abandons Mr. Wolfowitz as he faces a decision from the bank's board of governors, it will not only betray a friend but hand the biggest victory yet to its audacious enemies in the George Soros axis.

Paul Wolfowitz fucked up the Iraq war now he went on to bigger and better things to fuck up. So sorry that World Bank doesnt like incompetence. When you surround yourself with idiots this is what you get. Remember 150 Bush appointees are from Pat Robertson U. Nuff sed.

I would LOVE to hear how George Soros FORCED Paul Wolfowitz to promote his unqualified whore girlfriend to a new position with a big raise...

But we already know Bush supporters approve of that sort of cronyism.... you're doing a helluva job, vacate the bowels....

I'll bet it was Soros who also forced him to say the Iraqi oil would pay for the idiotic war that costs us $2 billion a week, right?

fucking idiot.

Oh Jesus. I addressed this in the "bye bye wolfie" thread. I'll repeat it again for your benefit.

Listen very closely - No one in the Bush Administration, including Paul Wolfowitz, EVER said that "Iraqi oil would pay for the idiotic war that cost us $2 billion a week."
You are LYING.

What did Wolfowitz say? He testified that the Administration expected Iraqi oil exports to ultimately pay for reconstruction efforts.

See the difference? He NEVER claimed that the full cost of the war would be covered by Iraqi oil.

Stop with this shit already - it's a liberal fairytale and it's old.

which lie would be more acceptable to you, you dumb ass? Are Iraqi oil exports paying for the reconstruction?

And I love how you assume everyone reads all of your vapid threads..... LOL!

What a pompous fuck you are.

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz: “There’s a lot of money to pay for this that doesn’t have to be U.S. taxpayer money, and it starts with the assets of the Iraqi people…and on a rough recollection, the oil revenues of that country could bring between $50 and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three years…We’re dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon.” [Source: House Committee on Appropriations Hearing on a Supplemental War Regulation, 3/27/03]

This quote is accurate - note that Mr. Wolfowitz does NOT say that the cost for the war will be repaid by Iraqi oil. Instead, he refers to reconstruction - and rightly so, as Saddam Hussein was denying the people bare necessities in exchange for the absurd amenities he had in his palaces. So the plan is let Iraqi oil revenues pay for the reconstruction of essential projects like electrical plants and water facilities. The only problem with the plan has been Al Qaeda and other terrorist elements attacking such facilites when they have been brought online.

Except that those pesky facts coming back to bite you...

Like where Wolfie ASKED to be recused from anything to do with his girlfriend when initially taking the job, only to be told that he could not.

And where Wolfie was told that she must be compensated for the disruption to her career.

And the one where the committee looking into the matter cleared Wolfie of any wrongdoing...


Once again...leftbot haters won't let the facts get in the way of a good smear on a Republican.. or conservative.

So what's wrong withe USN&WR article? Is it because there's too many facts, is that it? Did it not provide you with biased editoral opinions that should've given favor to Wolfowitz?Awww...poor baby, or in the words of Artie Lange, "WAAAAAHHH!!!"

While the World Bank definitely is no picture perfect organization, that doesn't mean the President of the World Bank can violate ethics rules either.

http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411366/1110744

Quote: A World Bank panel has found that bank President Paul Wolfowitz's handling of a promotion and pay increase for his companion represented a conflict of interest and broke rules, but made no recommendation on how he should be reprimanded.


The former US deputy defence secretary, a key architect of the Iraq war, has been given several days to respond to the findings of the panel involving a lucrative deal for his companion, Shaha Riza, a World Bank Middle East expert.


One source close to the World Bank board said the panel found Wolfowitz's actions amounted to conflict of interest , while another source said the panel found he broke internal rules by personally directing Riza's transfer to the State Department with a promotion and salary increase.


Quote: Wolfowitz's two years at the bank have been marred by criticism that he depended on a coterie of aides from the Pentagon and White House, including (Kevin) Kellems and Robin Cleveland, who had little experience with the bank's ways. It worsened Wolfowitz's standing among the bank's long-time career staff, who were isolated from the decision-making.


Sorry, one can't blame George Soros for the President of the World Bank's ethics violations. That's all Wolfowitz's doing.

I hate to give Oz the satisfaction, but "shoddy construction" is a minor occurance and, for the most part, has been the result of outsourcing labor to Iraqis (as we should anyway, but it hasn't been beneficial). Then you have terrorist infiltration -- hear about the school that was built with explosives in the rafters waiting to be detonated once the kids arrived? Think about it.
There have been hundreds of US contractors that have lost their lives trying to help the Iraqis rebuild their country after decades of Saddam's rule. He ignored vital infastructure so his palaces could have the best of everything. We have done out best to help the Iraqi people -- nitpicking on "shoddy construction" with a project or two does an injustice to the countless noble efforts that ended up in vein as the terrorists would come by and blow it up.
