So Paul Wolfowitz has finally fallen on his sword……
Yes, the man once described by the Economist as a velociraptor, has become the latest of the Bush vanguard to fall from grace. After decades of being on the inside of US politics from the Nixon administration onwards, serving both Bushes, being Rummy’s number two and of course his most recent stint as chief of the World Bank, it looks like it’s all over.
However, the thing that i think will stay with me the longest will not be to do with any of his dubious political influence or even his three year stint as ambassador to Indonesia (supporting and then subsequently turning on Suharto who left office in 1988, 23 years after a US backed coup brought him to power - sound familiar?). No, for me the enduring memorial for Wolfowitz will be the word which his World Bank infamy brought to the world:
Neoconcubine
