#1 I 'm no expert, but I wonder if this:

has anything to do with it.

#2 Iran's current involvement and support for Taliban groups in Afghanistan as an example of Iran's flip-flop foreign policy when it comes to defeating the U.S. "In the past the Iranians would have never given financial support to the Taliban," he said. "The evidence now suggests that Iran is offering them assistance in an effort to push U.S. forces out of the region." Iran and Syria are doing the same in Iraq

Just a few items on the huge laundry list of reasons for bombing Iran to hell.

#3 I would also posit that these talks will be unproductive, we'll tell them "we know what you're doing, and it will stop", the Iranians won't stop, and war will eventually come home to roost for the mullahs. We will say "we tried!"

#4 Bush is not going to leave office with the Iranians on the verge or in possession of nukes. When he wants to do something about it, it will be useful to have been discussing it with the Iranians for some time. While it may not be on the public agenda, who knows what they say when the doors close.

#5 I don't agree that dialog between the State Dept and Iran is useful. I wouldn't mind if Patereus choses to meet with them to describe to them the potential results of their continued policies.
