Who is more corrupt...Kofi Annan or Paul Wolfowitz?

Question

2005 - UN Secretary General Kofi Annan uses his influence to award the biggest Oil-For-Food programme contract to a Swiss firm called Cotecna. Annan's son Kojo works for the firm. It is revealed that the Oil-For-Food programme in Iraq loses $21 billion, funneling illicit funds into the hands of despot Saddam Hussein. Outraged people who call for Annan's resignation are promptly dismissed by the indignant Left as "swift boaters" and "witch hunters" out to get poor Kofi.


2007- World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz uses his influence to get his girlfriend, bank employee Shaha Riza, a promotion to a plumb job, with a raise amounting to $60,000 (chump change for an institution that takes in $12 billion a year). The outraged Left demands Wolfowitz's resignation, because he is a "corrupt neocon Zionist"

Answer 1

Kofi Annan. This one was easy.

Answer 2

Paul Wolfowitz. He represents the very epitome of the Bush administration--unchecked greed, influence peddling, take care of your own Ramboism with no regard for ethics or public opinion. You seem to dismiss the $60,000 raise, far more than most US workers even make. But considering the World Bank is supposed to be an organization that helps the world's poorest, the irony is not lost. Keep advocating for the GOP. Enough handjobs and they might get YOU an undeserved raise.

Answer 3

Paul Wolfowitz and his neocon ilk have raised corruption to a moral doctrine: "It is the responsibility of every individual to garner as much for himself as possible, and by any means necessary". His administration at the world bank was so compromised by his neocon worldview that when the scandal broke it was his own people that called first and loudest for his head.

Kofi Annan, on the other hand, was so popular and effective at the UN that the body took the unprecedented step of giving Africa a third term of leadership (Annan's second). Not coincidentally, the only ones accusing Annan of any serious corruption are the neocons. Not surprising when you consider his heroic resistance to the neocon's agenda for unilateral action (or inaction).

Answer 4

George Bush

Answer 5

President Bush

Answer 6

Wolfowitz became a substantial participant in getting the conflict started - in spite of the outcomes. evaluate that maximum of his relatives died in German loss of life camps and you will understand why he did it. Wolfowitz Doctrine is an unofficial call given to the preliminary version of the protection making plans education for the 1994-ninety 9 economic years (dated February 18, 1992) authored by utilising U.S. Undersecretary of protection for coverage Paul Wolfowitz and his deputy Scooter Libby. … [His father] … escaped Poland after international conflict I. something of his father's relatives and their diamonds perished interior the Holocaust."[15] Such relatives trauma led, David Dudley observes, to Jack Wolfowitz "residing in a international haunted by utilising atrocities" and deeply affecting his son's own and psychological progression.[13][sixteen] in accordance to Peter J. Boyer, "Wolfowitz pronounced that he had discovered little approximately Warsaw existence, or the way forward for his lost kinfolk, from his father. 'He hated to speak approximately his childhood,' Wolfowitz pronounced. As a boy, Wolfowitz wolfed books ('in all risk too many') on the topic of the Holocaust and Hiroshima—what he calls 'the polar horrors'" (2).[8] conversing greater specifically of the impact of the Holocaust on his own later perspectives to Eric Schmitt, Wolfowitz pronounced: "That experience of what occurred in Europe in international conflict II has formed a number of my perspectives … it is an extremely undesirable ingredient while human beings exterminate persons, and persons persecute minorities. It does no longer mean you could preclude each and every such incident interior the international, despite if it is likewise a mistake to brush aside that style of difficulty as basically humanitarian and not on the topic of genuine interest."[15]

Answer 7

I won't pretend that I know a whole heck of a lot about the two. But Kofi, kofi, kofi. You've been a very naughty boy! Very naughty! So naughty that if you're not careful you could find yourself with a noose around your neck like your old former pal Saddam.

Answer 8

Kofi Annan and all of those buffoons @ the UN are corupt as corupt can be, no ands, ifs or buts about it.
They have not done a dang thing except get rich and put down my fellow American's as if we are the cause of all of the world problems.

As for Paul, you do know that he went to the board of directers and told them about his gf and requested that they handle her promotion and raise issues, but they said "NO U DO IT WE TRUST YOU", in order to make HIM LOOK BAD. they are also corrupt, PW is stuck in the middle because he is actually trying to fix all of their screw ups. DONOT BELIEVE THE LIBERAL PRESS< PEOPLE< THINK FOR YOURSELF< AND WATCH FOX NEWS< THEY ACTUALLY TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY, not just parts of it like CNN< and all of those!!!!!!

Answer 9

How convenient for you to leave out Mr. Wolfowitz's role as deputy secretary of defense. We wouldn't want a man partly responsible for the needless deaths of thousands of Iraqi civilians (not to mention the 3678 coalition deaths) to be villainized, would we?

Answer 11

Kofi, by a mile. Paul is not likely the cause of thousands of deaths due to his corruption as was Kofi.
