"Decider" briefed on what to decide

Regarding that "letter" the MSM reported the Iranian President sent fearless Leader. Do you think dubya read it? Don't be silly. Of course not, he had to takea flight to Florida(on our dime) and try to pump up more BS about his "senior drug plan". He was "briefed" about it. He couldn't be bothered on that 2 1/2 hour flight to read an 18 page letter from another head of state to stop an attack on the man's country. Dubya's got crony money to shakedown from taxpayers, more brown people's blood to spill, more of our sons to get killed.

Left i on the News: says it very well:
"George Bush is the "decider." Iran, according to him, is the number one problem in the world today. He says that "it is my desire and my belief we can solve this [manufactured crisis with Iran] diplomatically." So when the President of Iran, a country against whom Bush is seriously contemplating taking military action but which he claims he wants to deal with "diplomatically," sent him an 18-page letter, the first time an Iranian President has communicated directly with an American President in 27 years (!), he read it, right?
No, of course not, he was "briefed" on it (a "briefing" that was so brief and unimportant that the New York Times doesn't even bother to mention it). Bush was on an important trip to Florida to make yet another political speech about the "fantastic opportunity" for seniors contained in the new prescription drug "benefit" for Medicare. You don't really think he had time during a 2 1/2 hour flight to read 18 whole pages, do you?"
"when Americans use the word "diplomacy," they aren't actually speaking English, in which "diplomacy" has the same root as "diplomatic." No, in America, it comes out sounding more like "dictate" (or is that "diktat"?), as exemplified by this quote from Condoleezza Rice:

"Absence of communication isn't really the problem here. We and the international community have been very clear with the Iranians what they need to do."

About which WIIIAI says, "That’s Condi’s idea of communication: her telling someone what they 'need to do.'" Of course he needn't single out Condi; that's the attitude of the entire U.S. ruling class."
