Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

February 16, 2012

Hillary Clinton is reportedly seeking appointment as president of the World Bank. She would replace Robert Zoellick, who had served as George W. Bush?s trade representative.

Zoellick was appointed in 2007 to replace Paul Wolfowitz, another Bush administration alum who had previously been Deputy Defense Secretary ? and one of the chief architects of the disastrous war in Iraq. [Wolfowitz?s term was cut short following disclosures that he had arranged to give an unearned raise to a staffer who was his mistress.]

When Wolfowitz was tapped to head the World Bank in 2005, left-leaning commentator David Corn of The Nation correctly pointed out that Wolfowitz was following in the footsteps of Vietnam-era Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, ?So Bush is establishing
a bipartisan tradition: you screw up a war, you get to run the World Bank.?

Hillary Clinton was deeply involved in orchestrating the NATO-led military assault on Libya, which resulted in the replacement of long-time dictator Muammar Khadafy by a clique of even bloodier Islamist radicals. By the time Zoellick steps down in June, it?s possible that Clinton will have helped choreograph a war with Iran. Apparently, instigating wars and mass bloodshed is a key prerequisite for American elitists who covet the top position at the World Bank.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
