The Wolfowitz Resignation

Hosted by
The flap over Paul Wolfowitz has raised the political profile of the World Bank in a way that appears to have damaged the institution itself as well as Wolfowitz’s reputation. The wording of departure statements allowed both sides to save face, but the forced resignation puts President Bush in an awkward position as he exercises the US option to choose a successor.
