Wolfowitz-on the way out?Wolfowitz bites the dust: Weakened, as U.K., Germany Decline to Offer Support - by Simon Kennedy and William McQuillen
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz's hold on his job weakened as the U.K. and Germany declined to join the U.S. in backing him. Wolfowitz has ``damaged the bank,'' Hilary Benn, the U.K. development secretary, said today. His German counterpart, Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul, said he must ``decide for himself whether he can continue to fulfill his duties credibly.''
Nancy Birdsall, who runs the Washington-based Center for Global Development and is a former director of policy research at the bank, said on her Web log that Wolfowitz should quit because he ``has become a distraction not a leader at a moment when leadership is sorely needed.''
