Iran offered deal in 2003. Cheney shot them down! This is BIG!

[walldude]

Holy shit.. Iran offered to drop it's support for Hezbollah and Hamas and help stabalize Iraq. Cheney blew them off. He needs to fry for this.

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.

1. Back when they thought Iraq would be a "cakewalk."

[walldude]

2. Yeah, the list of shit they got wrong

is getting longer by the day...

[Ignacio Upton]

3. And since Ahmadinejad replaced Khatami

I don't see Iran offering such a deal in the near future.

4. Freakin flip flopper

What do you expect from a chickenhawk with five military deferments like Tough Talking Dickie Cheney. He and his buds at Halliburton are making beaucoup bucks from this ugly little oil crusade, they would not want to quit too early...before they cash in completely.

5. CHENEY DESERVES TO BE BURNED AT THE STAKE

but only quite slowly, nothing quick. Evil bastard!

6. Too bad Ahmadinejad is President now

Looks like both the Iranians and we are screwed.

7. The only peace in their plan

Is a piece of the Yadavaran oil field, located on the Iran-Iraq border

9. "We don't talk to evil"...

You talk to evil every time you congratulate yourself for making another few million for Halliburton.

[Matariki]

10. That would of hurt Cheney's PLANS for Iran

hopefully he'll be impeached and/or imprisoned before he gets to implement them...
