The man is anything but "a compassionate and decent man", as a master in both compassion and decency, George Walker Bush, dared dub him. How could an expert in dissimulation promote transparency ? How can this man handle the World Bank's priorities ? I just pick 3 out of the 6 "hot topics" mentioned on the World Bank's website : "Chad-Cameroon pipeline", "extractive industries transparency initiative" and "Iraq"... Come on !!! The World Bank is about reducing poverty ? It sure will if you consider Halliburton a poor entity. Look at the chest Wolfie will be able to pump from :
- IBRD : The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development , $11bn in 2004
- IDA : The International Development Association, $9bn in 2004
- IFC : The International Finance Corporation, $4.8bn in 2004
- MIGA : The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, $1.1bn in 2004
- ICSID : The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (that definitely settles it, doesn't it ?)

Thank you for your comments and your patience. I welcome critics, but spam, commercial links, and outrageously heinous messages will not pass the cut (I have had my share of each, allow me to spare my readers)
