CHENEY REBUFFED IRANIAN OFFER OF COOPERATION

"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...The State Department was open to the offer, which came in an unsigned letter sent shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq... But... Cheney vetoed the deal..."
--Lawrence Wilkerson, former secretary of state Colin Powell's chief of staff
