Yeahhhh, ummmm, George.... I'm afraid we're gonna have to let you go.. no no, it's not you. The company just needs to restructure with the climate in the current world market. Seems, there's more important things than Failed Oil Company Management, a year or two of baseball Team Management, and a remarkably unpowerful, yet still failed Governorship required for World Management, and seeing as how we've got to patch things up, we're gonna go with someone else. You understand of course. This has nothing to do with you, or your crazy, I mean glorious vision for bringing Freedom to the Middle East by killing thousands of innocent Iraqis, rounding a good number of them up, torturing them in violation of international law, sexually degrading, violating and humiliating them, posing for pictures in the process, and ensuring that World Opinion was solidly against us for the next 15-20 years - all so that you could have a picture of Saddam Hussein, bearded and exhausted after years torturing his people, under the boot of an American soldier. You had to do what he did to win. And in so doing, you proved to the world and to the Iraqis in particular - you are no better a manager than Hussein ever was. You have a lot in common in fact. Neither of you can run a country without dividing the people, neither of you can manage a budget, and both of you deal primarily in oil. The one thing different between you and Hussein? You actually have weapons of mass destruction. Not just the kind that incinerate tens of thousands of people, or the kind that make their lungs melt as they die slowly, but the political ones that have driven this country into seemingly insurmoutable debt, division, and demoralization.
Honor and Integrity, my ass.
