This may have been how the conversation went in the Oval Office when the United States was looking for Saddam Hussein :
BUSH JR. : That's part of the deal -- Uday & Hussey cancel out what they did to my father...
COLIN POWELL: Junior, we ought to hear what they have to say...
BUSH JR. (standing in front of Powell, who's seated): No; no; no! No more! Not this time, consiglieri. No more meetin's, no more discussions, no more Saddam tricks. You give'em one message: I want Saddam -- if not, it's all-out war -- we go to the mattresses...
Colin Powell (stands): Some of the other countries won't sit still for all-out war!
BUSH JR.: Then they hand me Saddam!
POWELL: Your father wouldn't want to hear this! This is business, not personal, Junior!
BUSH JR.: They took a contract out on my father -- that's business? Your ass...
POWELL: Even the contract on your father was business, not personal, Junior!
BUSH JR.: (now seated behind the desk) Well, then, business will have to suffer, alright? And listen -- do me a favor, Colin -- No more advice on how to patch things up. Just help me win, please, alright?
