Ex-aide says Rice misled U.S. Congress on Iran - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice misled the U.S. Congress when she said last week that she had not seen a 2003 Iranian proposal for talks with the United States, a former senior government official said on Wednesday.
Flynt Leverett, who worked on the National Security Council when it was headed by Rice, likened the proposal to the 1972 U.S. opening to China. He said he was confident it was seen by Rice and then-Secretary of State Colin Powell but "the administration rejected the overture."
Speaking at a conference on Capitol Hill, Leverett said "this was a serious proposal, a serious effort" by
Iran to lay out a comprehensive agenda for U.S.-Iranian rapprochement.
"The Bush administration up to and including Secretary Rice is misleading Congress and the American public about the Iran proposal," he said.
American war criminals and terrorist leaders and their slaves (condominium rice) rejected peace almost in full surrender fashion by Iran. What Bush and his Christian-Zionist constitute not to mention Neocon Israeli Firsters were thinking back then was, after finishing Iraq, they will turn to Iran therefore no negotiation with Iran necessary. Fortunately for Iran, the Sunni Iraqi fighters fought their proxy Shiite marauders and rapist Americans to stand still thereby disabling the Washington terrorist forces from going to proceed with their plan. Rejecting peace and endorsing terror is the establishment mainstay not a benign incident here in the states.
