Bank Robbery
What would you do if one of your employees, your store manager, directed his bookkeeper to improve the company’s cash-on-hand by enlisting the warehouse crew to rob a bank? Would you applaud his decision to hire an experienced corporate turnaround specialist to organize and direct the criminal enterprise? Would the turnaround specialist’s effective execution of the robbery be the basis on which you judged your store manager or his decision? That is what Congress is supposed to be doing by evaluating authorization and appropriations for the Iraq War based on the testimony of the chief military commander there.
Now that the warehouse crew has been caught, tried, convicted and imprisoned, you might try to reform the penitentiary, but that was not your store manager’s original objective--it won’t improve his cash balance or yours. It looks like it’s time for a new store manager.
