By supporting liars, are Bush and his NeoCons trying to discredit the US in the world's eyes?

Question

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz used "his influence to help his lover Shaha Riza gain a salary promotion. Ms Riza was reassigned from the World Bank to the US State Department following Mr Wolfowitz's appointment as World Bank president two years ago; the reassignment followed a ruling by the bank's ethics committee that her relationship with Mr Wolfowitz could lead to a conflict of interest." Ms. Riza's reassignment was "accompanied by a promotion and a large salary increase to nearly 200,000 dollars a year. Wolfowitz AT FIRST DENIED HAVING ANY INVOLVEMENT with the decision to give her a promotion, but LATER SAID HE HAD MADE A MISTAKE." http://www.radionetherlands.nl/news/international/#5244063
Does Bush's (who himself has a record of lying" hiring and constant support of liars, like Alberto R. Gonzales, . Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Dick Cheney, Karl-Rove, etc. create an image of America as pandering to liars? News does travel worldwide.

Answer 1

This group, with is foundations in Trotskism, believes they can create their own world reality and that the ends justify the means. They believe they are exercising a noble, benevolent hegemony to spread democracy, secure the commerical interests of US corporations, and allow the tiny country of Israel to expand its territories..

To answer your question, I'm not sure they care much about world opinon, but they care very much what their Republican base of US voters thinks.

This article provides good insight:
