> Suharto was the most corrupt dictator of the late 20th century. I mean, there is a monitor of corruption, Transparency International, a British-based institution. About two years ago, they ranked regimes in terms of corruption: Suharto was far in the lead, way beyond Mobutu and others way below. And that’s Wolfowitz’s favorite. So, based on those credentials – delight with corruption, concentration of wealth, tyranny, human-rights violations, destruction of democracy – he’s the candidate for the World Bank.

> What was his role in Indonesia? He was one of the strongest and most vocal supporters of one of the worst murderers and tyrants of the late 20th century. Human-rights activists in Indonesia can’t even remember a case where he said a word about human rights, or about democracy. He was just a strong supporter of the murderous, brutal tyrant and aggressor Suharto. And in fact he remained so, even after the Indonesians had finally thrown him out.

#GeorgeWBush drove the first nails into #UN coffin using General #ColinPowell to lie on his behalf about #WMDs in #Iraq at the behest of #GOP hawks and neoconservatives like #PaulWolfowitz, all while ignoring #French intelligence and ridiculing French fries as #FreedomFries, and eventually plunging the #US into a wholly needless war based on false pretext.

This was the man that #SCOTUS effectively handed the presidency after just a few hundred votes separated him from #AlGore

The Yes Men prank impersonate Paul Wolfowitz to put out an anti-war message:

"Tom Basile actually knows Wolfowitz, as he mentioned during the broadcast. Andy hadn't planned to impersonate him, so he didn't bother listening to his voice — and we're pretty sure he sounds nothing like him. Yet Basile never noticed. Could Basile's complete lack of observational ability have anything to do with his horrible politics?"

How to invent a conservative talking point

Through some Yes Men sleight of hand, we ended up as Newsmax's contact for the American Enterprise Institute. And when they wanted to talk about the War in Afghanistan, we knew just what to say.
