Former president, Jimmy Carter, has said that the United States should begin talks with Iran without preconditions. "We can't afford to upset them if we're to have any hope of gaining the release of the hostages," said Carter.
Carter says he believes that the Bush administration's offer to sit down and talk on conditions that Iran gives up its uranium enrichment program may not be enough. "Also people should turn down their thermostats and wear sweaters," Carter said. "If we all pule together we can lick the malaise that is sweeping the nation."
In related news, it was revealed that The Carter Center has received more than $1 million from Bakr M. Bin Laden on behalf of the Saudi Bin Laden Group. While the source of this funding has been questioned by some, former president Jimmy Carter defended it as a humanitarian effort. Carter says he hopes his "Habitat for Humanity" crew can use this money to build proper housing for bin Laden and his beleaguered companions. "Just because bin Laden's plotted terrorist attacks on unarmed civilians doesn't mean he should have to live in a cave," said Carter. "Maybe if he were shown some love and compassion he wouldn't be so angry all the time."
In related news, Ali Larijani, Iran's top nuclear negotiator, has urged Muslim countries to pursue "peaceful" nuclear development and long-range delivery systems that can bridge the thousands of miles between our countries and the "infidel pigs who threaten us."

"Carter Warns Against Upsetting Iran"
Can we ship him a plush rabbit to shut him up?
Jimmy Carter, the Middle Eastern terrorist's eternal friend.
Are we certain they aren't dead and merely some mechanoid device under some moron's control?
They both look rather... artificial.
Can you think of anything that made Iran worse than when Carter removed the Shaw enabling Ayatollahs to take over?
Carter speaks the flash, but he's created most of the trash.
Nope, can't think of anything that made Iran worse than Carter the neurotic bunny hater.
Carter did the same thing at home with our financial markets causing the SAVINGS & LOAN CRISIS.
Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980. A Jimmy Carter wreck that were were paying for clear through the Bush #1 Presidency.
Carter's failed presidency is largely responsible for the problem today. For OVER A YEAR Americans were held hostage in Iran beginning in 1979. They were only released when Reagan won the election.
But one memory they've retained is that of America as a "paper tiger". Carter was a disgrace and his utter bufoonery made America the laughing-stock of the Islamic world.
In his own inimitable way Carter turned tragedy into farce when his belated rescue "plan" failed because he couldn't field three operational helicopters!
Only such an utterly shameless incompetent would even open his mouth about Iran! He also holds a record for being one of the worst ex-presidents. Quite a distinguished record - failure in and out of office.
Yes, Carter was a weak American leader who gave Middle East activists the idea we could be messed with. I agree 100%.
But he does one thing the Democrats and MSM love, he bullshits and says all kinds of get-along crap.
He wants to get along with terrorists, human rights violators and the dictators of many corrupt countries.
His style is the style of the left, so the love him.
He is only American by birth IMO.
I believe he was the originator of the term "bubblehead" for submariners.
Carter should warn Iran not to upset the USA.
Hey gang, this article is satire. Carter is probably naive enough to believe the inanities he is quoted as saying, but the author/satirist is just drawing on past Carter speeches to ridicule our "beloved" ex-prez.
