The Decider Hath Decided…

Monday, 25 December 2006
by Tom Chartier

...to wait until next year. Why bother? We all know what’s in that big box hiding behind the Christmas tree… and nobody wants to open it.

With the Iraq Study Group’s Report securely stashed in the circular file, The Decider hath decided.

I feel so relieved.

After all, why disrupt the retailers’ cash cow: Christmas. It might be their last juicy one. There’s nothing like the announcement of more war, death and destruction not only to dampen public ardor for shopping but also to diffuse investor confidence on Wall Street.

Advice contrary to that which he wants to hear has never been popular with George W. Bush. His circular file is overloaded with such non-sense as reports of imminent large-scale al-Qaeda attacks (January, 2001), Katrina warnings (August, 2005) and Economic warnings (September, 2003). Indeed, the bin overrunneth with the words of naysayers on the wisdom of invading Iraq. Simply put, if you tell The Decider something he doesn’t like, your report goes into the Ignore and Incinerate File.

George, and only George will decide… with some “sage” whisperings from that little demon sitting on George’s shoulder, Dick Cheney.

1. I'm hoping for one or two more, myself...
But if not, then not. Not much we as people can do about it. Tomorrow I'm going out to buy computer supplies and photoshop and dreamweaver training books... and look for job fair info.

4. He tossed his personal DVD of "An Inconvenient Truth" in the trash too.
About a year ago at a press conference someone asked him if he was going to watch "An Inconvenient Truth."
His answer: "Doubt it (chuckle/smirk/guffaw)".

5. I really am beginning to think he will be impeached
I think he has gone over the line and I believe the string pullers are going to yank the carpet out from under him. It is weird because I have not thought impeachment would happen before the events of the past week but now I do.
