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.
BTTT
Bump
It's worth a try - after all if there's any American the iranians luv it must be jimmuh.
He might just be able to sermonize them to sleep.
Throw in Jesse Jackson and John Murtha, while you're at it.
No wonder the terrorists wouldn't deal. Carter is worthless.
oh that this were true lol.
How about Carter & Mondale for 15 British sailors and an Iranian dissident to be named later?
Too bad it's Scrappleface!
