Wolfowitz & Bolton

This is the "controversial" (because of his closeness with Mr Bush) new president of the World Bank:

Paul Wolfowitz, the new head of the World Bank and close ally of George Bush, said yesterday he was returning from a week-long trip to Africa to urge the Bush administration to help fund a big aid push for the continent, saying he regarded it as being on the move and full of real partners with whom the west could work.
…
Seen as a Washington hawk during the Iraq war, Mr Wolfowitz may become the pivotal figure in persuading Mr Bush that Africa can absorb extra aid without swallowing the cash in corruption.

I do hope Mr Bolton gets his confirmation for the post of UN ambassador from the Senate today. World bodies need can-do guys like these.
