Wolfowitz doesn't care about black people.
Though the story on Comb Licker's mistress is taking up most of the MSM's time, the report that Wolfowitz and co. have purposely tried to withhold Family Planning in AIDS ridden Africa is disgusting.

Wolfowitz Contradicted on Family Planning Claim

The contradictions could further intensify Wolfowitz's troubles at the Bank, where he and his office had made statements denying his personal involvement in two unusually high pay raises given to his girlfriend and fellow Bank worker Shaha Riza.

After initially distancing himself from the decision, Wolfowitz made a humiliating apology on Thursday and admitted engineering the hike. His mea culpa failed to satisfy the 10,000-member Bank Staff Association, however, which has called for Wolfowitz's resignation.

The same day, when asked by U.S. National Public Radio at a press conference opening the spring meetings of the World Bank and its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund, whether the Bank has changed its policy on family planning, Wolfowitz denied there had been any changes.

"Absolutely not," he said. "I have seen rumours about that. Let me make it very clear. Our policy hasn't changed."

But according to an internal email made public by the Government Accountability Project, a Washington-based whistleblower protection organisation, Managing Director (MD) Juan José Daboub, an appointee of Wolfowitz and a man known for his conservative stance on family issues, had in fact instructed a team of Bank specialists to delete all references to family planning from the proposed Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) for the African nation of Madagascar.

3. Don't forget about the Congo ...
Here this morally bankrupt, comb-licking (caused me to throw up a little in my mouth) miscreant is cutting off money to desperate countries because THEY are too corrupt (regardless of valid attempts to clean house) ... this all to the horror of long time World bankers:puke:
