Wolfowitz was quick to apologize to save his skin at the bank, Dowd notes, but has yet to admit his mistakes in Iraq. And she suggest that rather than trying to enrich his paramour with funds earmarked for poor nations, he try diverting some of the vast oil riches he claimed would pay for the rebuilding of a liberated Iraq.
