So who does Obambi send to North Korea to aid the release of the two captive journalists? Bill Clinton!

What exactly has our new beloved sec of state Hillary Clinton been reduced to? Chopped liver? LOL
 
Chalk another Victory for Bill Clinton, the two ladies being held in North Korea have just been pardoned.

Gee and Bush II couldnt get NK to do anything.

:up: Just shows you who commands respect in the world Bill Clinton :up:

But I would like to add that this is 'great news'... :up:

North Korea: 2 US journalists pardoned

The move to free reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee reflected North Korea's "humanitarian and peaceloving policy," the Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch from Pyongyang early Wednesday.

It was unclear when Clinton and the women would leave the country. The report said the Clinton visit was taking place Tuesday and Wednesday.

Clinton landed in the North Korean capital on Tuesday on a private mission to negotiate the freedom of the two women working for former Vice President Al Gore's Current TV media venture.

:up:
 
Maybe it was a gesture to the US to get the talks moving again and the aid flowing back into NK.

And Secretary Clinton is in India I believe.

Since this just so happened at lightning speed, chances are it was in the works for a while. And don't be so naive to think that they wanted to restart talks of any sorts.

They more then likely dictated terms and Obambi caved like a little girl in the fetal position. NK will still be developing banned weapons and mark my word, Obambi will suddenly think its ok. Heck he may authorize weapon sales and a beer summit for the dictator, along with Chavez, Castro, ghost of Hitler and Marx.

Do you really believe the garbage that spews forth from your keyboard?

This was in the works for a long time.

It is a very shrewd move on the part of the US to get the attention of the world without it being Obama doing the bidding.

At the same time, they were able to get these women back unharmed.

You just cannot give any credit where it is due can you.

This comes on the heels of some sharp words traded by our SOS (Mrs. Clinton) and Kim over that last week.

If you bothered to watch her interviewed on Sunday, or read some scholarly news articles, you would know what our current policy is toward North Korea.

But, being those would be facts, they would just get in the way of a good anti-Obama rant from you.

Hmm and who was President when NK and Iran started their nuclear programs?

Survey says BUSH II.

Glass house there buddy.

And PB, Bill is not in office so he cant be played, give the man credit two women will be reunited with their families instead of being in a NK jail doing 12 years of hard labor and Clinton went their on behalf of Al Gore whom the two ladies worked for his media company and it was a trip not sponsored by the US govt as Clinton flew in a private BBJ, not a US Govt Plane.
 
UPDATE

Clinton Didn’t Do XXXX: Kim Jong Il Asked Bill To Come Take The XXXXX Off His Hands

WASHINGTON — The road to freedom for two American journalists held captive by North Korea came into view last month when Pyongyang made a special request of the Obama administration: Send Bill Clinton.

Euna Lee and Laura Ling, held by Pyongyang since March, told their parents by telephone last month that the former president was the best person to broker their release.

The message, said a person briefed on the matter, was passed on to the administration, which assumed it represented the will of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il.

“Pyongyang clearly injected their position through the girls,â€￾ said a person who has talked to the women’s families about the phone call.

Yet another foreign policy flopp. :lol:
 
The girls were becoming a liability to North Korea. Kim Jong Ill is said to soon be trasitioning power to his kin successor. The last thing he would want is more western/humanitarian pressure during such a critical transitional period. And, as Piney commented, many countries believe that having a U.S. president (or past president) gives the country an air of respect. See, for example, what happened when Obama visited Africa.

Having Bill come over was a win-win. We get the girls back, North Korea loses a liability and, in their mind, is more respected. This is not to say that I am not thrilled with Clinton's performance... even if North Korea told Sweden weeks ago that they would only broker a deal if someone like Bill came as a private envoy.
