The great thing about a conspiracy theory is that any outcome can be reconciled with it since an outcome that on its face contradicts the theory is therefore evidence of an even deeper conspiracy. "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" and all that.
Nevertheless it would be nice if the Wall Street Journal editorial page would at least take a run at explaining what the deeper conspiracy is in the light of the original conspiracy by George Soros, Mark Malloch Brown, and Gordon Brown to drive out Paul Wolfowitz as World Bank President and install Malloch Brown in his place -- possibly a long-awaited triangulation of Gordon Brown's gratitude to Soros for his run on sterling in 1992.
Because all that remains of that theory is the smooth installation of an American successor to Wolfowitz, and Malloch Brown's decision to become Gordon's Minister for Africa, Asia and UN (with a House of Lords appointment to facilitate this) -- and Soros out of the picture. It's amazing that they found the time to gang up on poor Wolfie with all this other career planning going on.
UPDATE: Speaking of Mark Malloch Brown, it's not clear that the National Review's K-Lo understands the distinction between his job and that of his boss, the actual Foreign Secretary, David Miliband.
