Neocons Blocked 2003 Nuclear Talks With Iran

The George W. Bush administration failed to enter into negotiations
with Iran on its nuclear program in May 2003 because neoconservative
zealots who advocated destabilization and regime change were able to
block any serious diplomatic engagement with Tehran, according to
former administration officials.

The same neoconservative veto power also prevented the administration
from adopting any official policy statement on Iran, those same
officials say.

Lawrence Wilkerson, then chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin
Powell, says the failure to adopt a formal Iran policy in 2002-2003 was
the result of obstruction by a "secret cabal" of neoconservatives in
the administration, led by Vice President Dick Cheney.

"The secret cabal got what it wanted: no negotiations with Tehran,"
Wilkerson wrote in an e-mail to IPS.
