Heat on Wolfowitz as World Bank directors meet by Jitendra Joshi
49 minutes ago



WASHINGTON (AFP) - Embattled World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz looked more isolated than ever Thursday as directors met to debate his fate amid the rumblings of a civil war among senior staff.

The meeting came a day after Wolfowitz attended a stormy session of senior staffers during which one of his two top deputies -- managing director Graeme Wheeler of New Zealand -- told him directly to quit.

"The characterization from people involved in the meeting was 'I can't believe you're asking our opinion,'" one bank insider said after Wolfowitz offered to make some management changes in a bid to rebuild his support.

"It's not about management style. It's not about interaction with staff," the source said on condition of anonymity.

"There was an exasperation that was conveyed to Wolfowitz: what part of 'resign' don't you understand?"

3. The neocons have a huge sense of entitlement.
They believe it is their right to conduct themselves like royalty with no accountability.

5. He figures all he has to do is hang on
until the spotlight moves on.

What he doesn't realize is that the spotlight isn't driving the calls for resignation. His staff is pushing the ouster, not the public.

What part of that don't you understand wolfowitz?
