Description: WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Embattled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz Tuesday pleaded to the World Bank Executive Board for fairness in deciding his fate and promised changes in his management style in an effort to hold on to his job. In a lengthy address to the 24-member board, Wolfowitz presented a package of documents that he said prove he acted in good faith in arranging a promotion and pay raise for his girlfriend, Shaha Riza. A copy of the address and the documents were provided to reporters by his attorney. "To criticize my actions or to find them as a basis for a loss of confidence would be grossly unfair," he told the board. He said a careful reading of his evidence will "conclude I acted in what I believe were the best interests of the institution."

His reply was..."We knew that Iraq had no Weapons of Mass Destruction...but they were swiming in oil, what were we to do?" 07-06-08 20:17:02 _____________________________________________________
