Bush nominates Wolfowitz to World Bank, keeps straight face
President Bush has tapped Defense Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz to take over as head of the World Bank.

That's why I put him up." (AP, March 16)
"For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction [as justification for invading Iraq] because it was the one reason everyone could agree on."Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, May 28, 2003
