Why are these people not in jail?

How true, sk8boardgrind, every time you hear a republican, now or ever, go on about values you can bet there are none to back up the assertion. I just don't understand how the religious right justify supporting their party, given the behavior.

These people i.e. Wolfie + all the neocons have NO SHAME !!!

" I just don't understand how the religious right justify supporting their party, given the behavior."

-You're kidding, right? The two are likes peas in a pod.

How odd for Wolfowitz to be disgraced in this way!? It’s unusual for one in power not to have some underling deal with his girlfriend’s transfer. Doesn’t it seem logical that if there was some ethics question, then he would have had one of his deputies handle the transfer? Something else is going on here, but our journalists never seem to get the right angle on these salacious news stories. Common?!? Wolfowitz knows how to play “the game”…as former Ambassador who helped the Indonesian military commit murders, and as an author to our preemptive-strike doctrine against Iraq, and then architect to bringing its oil wealth back in line with America’s interests??! I think Wolfowitz irritated the State department. Why doesn’t someone follow that lead?!?

Another great member of the Bush inner-circle. What rock did this guy crawl out from under.... oh wait... neo-cons dont crawl out from under rocks... they are "created!"

When you lie and cheat, you'll always remain a liar and a cheater. The book of Luke talks about it. This man was the architect of the Iraq war based on lies about WMD. He went to the world bank with the same dubious, corrupt mind set. Now, he has to resign in disgrace. Another one of Bush's gang bites the dust.

No investigation necessary - it's all in the paperwork.

You just can't take a news report at face value anymore.

Anybody else caught in this situation would be fired. Period. End of story. No negotiating a resignation. No dictating terms of departure.

Jail this sociopath NOW

Wolfowitz has served this country with distinction. It's always amazing that any qualified individual would leave a high paying commercial job and join the government. It's less than thankless. You get ripped to shreds. And since when is pre-emption a bad word, or neo-con? If Hitler had been pre-empted by a few more "neo-cons" in 1937, several hundred million lives would have been saved.

Looks like another rat of the Bush cronies
bites the dust. Who really cares if he
resigns in disgrace or not. The American
people know he is a disgrace as is the whole Bush Administration. Can't wait to
see who the "deciderer" will nominate to
replace Wolfowitz. Nice job Wolfie....

Bravo El Presidento! He is loyal to his men. Especially against the European punks.

Wolfowitz was told by the banks ethics committee to negotiate her salary. The ethics committe is at fault. Thhe European America-haters (because they can't stand our great success financially and militarily) want to slap America by blowing up this small personel issue.

Glad we have a President who stands up to these punks.

You can count Joseph in with the bunch A blind follower!

ari: Since when is pre-emption a bad word? Since Abraham Lincoln wrote that no real democracy would ever wage a pre-emptive attack against another country. His criteria was if an enemy army was standing on your border, ready to attack.

No Iraqi attacked the U. S. Not one of the hijackers was Iraqi. 90% of them came from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has a ruthless, inhumane, authoritarian monarch, yet, Dubya walks hand in hand with his good friend, the King of the House of Saud. You Cons are just pathetic hypocrites.

Curious George W Bush has the mental agility of a small soapdish.

Tom,
Are you really that deluded? The neo-cons have been an unmitigated disaster for this country. The damage they have done to the country, economically, militarily and internationally will take years and years to recover from. Blaming this on "Europeans" is just another case of blaming the wrong people.

So after such aggregious behavior, Wolfowitz thinks that all this can be erased by a face saving exit strategy to be negotiated by his high paid DC lawyer. How damn arrogant!
I wonder if my current employer would negotiate a face saving exit if I had been caught enriching friends and girlfriend???

dan.... they think they can do anything they want. they have god and G W Bush on their side remember.... well poor wolfie will be out of a job but im sure Bush will make some call and get him another high paying job for him and his girlfriend.... what sleazebags these neo-cons are... them and their morality and religon.. its pathetic.
