Bush administration won't Negotiate with Terrorists, but US Appointed Interim Government Will.

I'm sure you all have heard Bush make comments like this: "There's no negotiations with these terrorists. These are not the kind of people you sit down and you negotiate with. You don't sign a treaty with people who don't believe in rules, people who don't have a conscience".
Today, however,"Iraq's interim Prime Minister is offering amnesty to his countrymen who have resisted the US occupation out of a sense of indignation, not destabilisation".
Both this development and the sneaky way "sovereignty" was transferred just strike me as incredible signs of weakness on the part of the Administration.
