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.

This will save the DNC from having to send Jimma to negotiate for President Pelosi...

Fox News just reported that Iran offered to free hostages if Carter stayed home.......

"since only one party in this deal would receive anything of strategic value.
Really, really good one...
It's a little hard to laugh at any of this however. Hopefully the safe return will be coming soon.
I'm sure the Iranians will have the hostages dispersed to make a military rescue very difficult.
I still wish we could seize their oil fields (and keep pumping and shipping oil) and cut off their (the radical mullahs) funding.
That might cause change from within.

They shouldn't send Carter because he tried to negotiate with Iran once before in our history and was unsuccessful. They should send Chelsea Clinton's real father, Janet Reno. He/she or it would kick their a$$!

Eeck, that's a scary thought.
Well, I won't interfere with their personal beliefs systems as long as they're taking a dirt nap. Unfortunately, it don't sound like coalition forces sound up to it and possibly these Marines and sailors are going to be used for prisoner exchange or human shields.
I hope they think twice about the rules of engagement the next time they are approached by enemy forces, but I suppose that ain't the way allied military has been trained.

Peanuts is the most worthless thing we have to offer, but by spraying him with glitter and gluing on some beads, bangles and rhinestones, this could be the slickest swap since the purchase of Manhattan Island.
