Without a doubt. Wolfowitz claimed he was innocent of all ethical violations and that the charges were mere smears. A Bank committee investigated and issued a strongly worded report that concluded that Wolfowitz had indeed violated the Bank's rules when he negotiated the raise for his girlfriend. It issued a thinly veiled recommendation that the board fire Wolfowitz. At this point, the Bush administration withdrew its support, so certainly the Bank's Board of Directors would have fired him. Nonetheless, Wolfowitz tried to negotiate a deal where, in return for his resignation, the Bank would state that Wolfowitz had been ethical. The Bank's statement included conciliatory language that accepted Wolfowitz's claim of good faith but the Bank refused to affirmatively state Wolfowitz had acted ethically. This alone proves that if he did not resign, he would have been fired.

Paul Wolfowitz will be administratively charged for the offenses he committed such as abuse of authority while President of the World Bank. Thus, he will be removed from office had he not resigned.

as a results of fact Bush helps him (heckfoa activity Brownie) or (y're doin' an incredible activity Rummy) won't be a stable sign for Wolfowitz. as quickly as we are achieved with Gonzon perhaps Wolfie is next. The corrupt pols save coming and coming one precise after the different.

Maybe. Only the President of the United States can nominate the President of the World Bank but the World Bank has to confirm the nomination.

Can they cut the crap and call it the "colonial bank".
A true "world bank" would not allow its leader to be appointed by someone elected by just about 2% of the world's population...

To all purposes he was fired.
People resign from these positions to avoid the spectacle of being fired.

What a fool, sexual coersion by his girl-friend. Worse he still cannot admit his wrongdoing and attempted to blame his dismissal upon others
