Nonnegotiable

This article is making the rounds of the alternative media:

Report: Cheney rejected Iran's offer of concessions in 2003

Here Lawrence Wilkerson states that all of the demands presently made on Iran by the USA, were already offered to the USA by Iran back in 2003.

Cheney flat out refused the offer in 2003.

Poor Wilkerson, one of former Secretary of State Powell's top aides, the guy makes the rounds regularly and states these same kind of head slapping admissions about the Bush administration. Its a regular sap fest.

So what do we make of this. First off there's always the old neo-con PNAC document to rely on when in doubt about the Bush adminstration's motives and actions.

PNAC wants war. The other thing PNAC states clearly about wanting is war.

So war, war, and war is at the heart and soul of the neo-con ideology and legacy. Negotiation is off the table, no good, sorry.

Cheney stated that we don't negotiate with evil. Apparently memory is not the VP's strong point.

Recall that it was through negotiation with the Evil Empire (at that time eons ago in the 80s the Evil Empire was the USSR) that brought about the end of the cold war, peacefully thank you very much, and without all of the nuclear displays that we fearfully held onto in the back of our collective grey matter.

In the case of Iran, it has more to do with the desirability of the enemy at hand and yes, its relationship to Israel.

After all its one thing to negotiate with the blue eyed white skinned Russian familiar with Christianity another with the brown eyed darker skinned Muslim. Recall that Bush did not know the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite. He may still not know and, I suspect, not care to know.

Israel has a big say in all of this. Simply look at the influence of the Israeli lobbyists on American politics, its huge. And yea, there is that little thing called oil and the control of oil.

Another pitiful saga sees the light of day. Bush is like this odd contrary kid, he makes a demand of you, and then when you agree, he refuses the offer and decides to beat you up instead. Go figure. This is our president.
