Well, well!

Wonder how the Bush supporters are going to spin this bit of damning news?













Report: Cheney rejected Iran concessions - Yahoo! News

LONDON - An Iranian offer to help the United States stabilize Iraq and end its military support for Hezbollah and Hamas was rejected by Vice President Dick Cheney in 2003, a former top State Department official told the British Broadcasting Corp.

The U.S. State Department was open to the offer, which came in an unsigned letter sent shortly after the American invasion of Iraq, Lawrence Wilkerson, former Secretary of State Colin Powell's chief of staff, told BBC's Newsnight in a program broadcast Wednesday night. But, Wilkerson said, Cheney vetoed the deal...
 
Hmm.
And what was our part of the deal?
Oh wait -- that's not specified.

And then there's the last para:

Wilkerson has been a frequent critic of the Bush administration in general and Cheney in particular, holding the vice president responsible for the mistreatment of detainees and the failure of Iraq's postwar planning.

:roll:

Another inconsequential post from the kid. What a surprise.
