the fax suggested everything was on the table — including full cooperation on nuclear programs, acceptance of Israel and the termination of Iranian support for Palestinian militant groups.

Which is why they elected Ahmadinejad, a man with intricate and long-term ties to the IRGC and the Basij was "elected" while the reformists were prevented from posting candidates?

Can anyone really assert realistically that such a proposal was credible when Iranian intelligence was effectively able to initiate a coup that countered any reformist agenda (and assumably, reapproachment with the US).

Come on now Sun Tzu.. surely even YOU are not that clueless and naive..

It's very simple for someone to "propose" talks for external political consumption, but quite another for them them to possess sufficient internal credibility to follow through on them.

You're a alleged fan of military strategy (why else would you choose that handle?) Haven't you ever heard of a "delaying tactic" aimed at lulling your enemy into a false sense of hope?
