2003. Let's see, wasn't that when Iran sent a letter offering to help us

with terrorism and offered to give up all efforts at nuke programs and Condi threw the letter in the trash without reading it?

"May 2, 2003
Iran faxes a letter to the United States through Swiss diplomatic intermediaries offering to engage in a broad dialogue with the United States, including full cooperation on nuclear programs, acceptance of Israel and the termination of Iranian support for Palestinian militant groups. The United States does not respond to the letter. “Burn Offering” by Gareth Porter "

Why yes, they did!


Nice to know at least one country in the world keeps their word even without any encouragement whatsoever. And I don't mean US.

Truth 1, Bush** 0.

:applause:

rather than saber rattling and secrecy.

:sarcasm:

BushCo wants Iran's OIL.

A detailed history, including the Bush administration's blow-off of Iranian overtures, and Cheney and Rumsfeld's role therein.

or not.

"• In early 2003, Iran offered to enter into dialogue with the United States regarding several outstanding US-Iran issues, including full transparency of all nuclear facilities; the cessation of support of Palestinian opposition groups; transformation of Hezbollah into a political organization; coordination of counterterrorism efforts; cooperation with political stabilization in Iraq; and the acceptance of the Arab League "Beirut Declaration"--a comprehensive peace, including the establishment of normal relations with Israel. The United States did not respond to this "grand bargain" offered by Iran.

• Also in 2003, the United States refused to join France, Britain and Germany (the EU-3) in a diplomatic effort to curb Iran's nuclear program...


• On May 31, 2006, the Administration said it would join the EU-3 talks but would not negotiate with Iran until Iran agreed, ahead of the talks, to abide by US demands.

• On November 29, 2006, President Ahmadinejad sent an open letter to the American people. The Bush Administration refused to respond.

• The White House is now selectively leaking intelligence to set the stage for a military attack on Iran."

WHY NOT PROSECUTE THIS ADMINISTRATION?

WHY NOT?!!!!

The chickens are coming home to roost.


And today, Condi Rice claims she 'never saw' Iran's Grand Bargain offered in May '03., February 8, 2007


Oh, yes she SHOULD remember Iran's overture. She was Bush's Nat'l Security Adviser at the time., February 7, 2007

A couple days before Bush named them "Axis of Evil"
