Ass'me-ing that you're talking about the insurgents beginning negotiations, IMO insurgents can be far more dynamic when it comes to negotiations- they can engage and disengage in negotiations without sacrificing large amounts of support, especially in Iraq, where it seems that pro-governmental propoganda isn't disseminating properly throughout the population.
Negotiations may therefore be a ploy to keep the US off of the offensive while the insurgents restructure and reinforce their forces. Either that, or they are in effect biding their time until the US "pull-out", where they will unleash their might. Because they have already struck before at Fallujah etc, having a second strike later on would make it appear as if the insurgency has grown in power.

Just my opinion,
