I know people have short memories but just six months after being hounded out of his last job as president of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz is back in public life - as a senior advisor on arms control to the US state department.
The state department is of course the home of America's diplomats. And nobody knows diplomacy better than Wolfie, who (a) helped engineer an invasion of Iraq on the grounds that it had weapons it did not possess, and (b) offered the following sage advice to his colleagues at the World Bank: "If they fuck with me ... I have enough on them to fuck them too."
But seriously ... arms control? The US government wants Paul Wolfowitz advising it on arms control? Isn't that like Michael Vick advising the ASPCA on pet care?
