Cheney Allegedly Offers to Trade Carter for Hostages
by Scott Ott
(2007-03-25) A source close to Dick Cheney said today that the vice president has suggested freeing 15 British sailors and marines from Iranian captivity by trading former President Jimmy Carter for the hostages.
The deal, which Mr. Cheney reportedly believes has a certain poetic justice to it, would require an executive order signed by President George Bush, but the unnamed source said presidential adviser Karl Rove can take care of that as usual without bothering the president with the details.
White House insiders said the trade would not violate the Bush administrations policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorists, since only one party in this deal would receive anything of strategic value.
LOL! I wish.
I've said this before, but I'll say it again. They're been lying to these young Jihadists. There are no 72 virgins. There is only one virgin, she is 72 years old and looks suspiciously like Janet Reno. You guessed it!! That is the reason that she's still a virgin!
The Iranians would inform Cheney that he didn't understand the barter system."You have to offer us something that we don't already own!"
Good one!
Throw in one year of their oil production and it might be a fair trade!
Throw Hillery and Barack into the deal and make it perfect!!!
"paid for by several arab golf states."
Nah. They have next to none of water hazards and have much difficulty with the greens and fairways. The only thing they have are sand bunkers.
So we turn Jimmy over to them and they refuse to give us the Britons. Oh well, we haven't really lost anything, it was worth the try.
Go for it!
OMG i love this! Dick has a totally INSPIRED proposal! ; )
can we sweeten the deal by throwing in the Rev-errrrr-and Jess-EEEEeeeee Jack-SON and Al Franken-stein?
Too funny. Iran would turn it down for sure. Even they know what he is like.
Doesn't Jimmy Carter have a degree in nuclear physics? The Iranians might take him afterall.
LOL! Good one! (Plus I LOVE your tagline...=-)
Well, if there's 15 hostages, we should give them 15 replacements. How about:
Jimmy Carter
Former Rep. Cynthia McKinney
Michael Moore
Rep. Jim McDermott
Keith Olbermann
The Dixie Chicks
Joe Wilson
Valerie Plame
Barbra Streisand
Jack Cafferty
Al Gore
Terry Moran
and...the guy in my tagline.
You have several swine in your list. Would Iran take them?
The guy in your tag line is dead.
Oh...that one. I didn't notice him at first.
I suggest 218 Representatives that voted to surrender, Jimmah, 3 first round draft picks and a player to be named later..*cough*Schumer*cough*
