Statement by John Kerry on Paul Wolfowitz’s Nomination to be President of the World Bank


Below is a statement from Senator John Kerry on the nomination of deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz to be the new president of the World Bank:

“Coming on the heels of the appointment of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations, this is now another mystifying choice by the Bush administration for an important role in the community of nations. It makes you wonder whether all the administration’s words about mending fences with our allies are just lip service. After Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz’s repeated and serious miscalculations about the costs and risks America would face in Iraq, I don’t believe he is the right person to lead the World Bank.”
