Can we as men and women give a hand to Bill Clinton on this one? He deserves at least some credit for this.

I never thot I would give him credit, but I do.

It is also sweet that NOBAMA and his administration neither get nor deserve any credit :)

Meet the new Jesse Jackson!

Dammit - always read about people spraying their keyboards, and now you made me actually do it!

The sad part is, I can totally picture him looking at the ladies and waggling an eyebrow on the flight back home.

Clinton's Schwartz/Loral and Armstrong/Hughes got waived out of jail by him in 98 for their 95 200-page fax giving the ChiComs our missile guidance deemed in the 97 DOD report "damaging national security"--all because they were donors.

The ChiComs, too, were donors.

Did Wen Ho Lee destroy the tape of the warhead data--believe Bill Richardson, Clinton's DOE secretary?

As has been noted six times, diplomacy is ninety per cent pre-meet prep and deal; ten per cent pomp and ceremony.

Let me be the first to stipulate the quid pro quo was ali Hussein's assurance to not interfere with Dear Leader's nuclear program--

--just as he is covering for Ahmadinejad's anti-Jew bomb.

The entire two-women-prisoner drama was a pretext: the administration of communists here gets to boast of success--the adiministration of communists there gets to build more bombs.

The photo looks a little weird. Probably not a double or a photoshop, but it does look...odd

[Tailgunner Joe]

These “journalists” work for Al Gore. Better to let them rot in North Korea.

[dfwgator]

They probably ate better in “prison” than 99.9% of all of the North Koreans.

[give a hand to Bill Clinton on this one]

Not No but Hell No, not until we find out what it cost us.

[jamese777]

Congratulations to Bubba Clinton-Lewinsky on a diplomatic job well done. I doubt that we will ever find out what it cost us.

“...What is the quid pro quo?...”

NK gets 0bama.

[TheBigIf]

Well then maybe you should have went on over with Mr. Bill and you could have sweetened the economic deal he was making. Ohno?

[Deb]

Have to disagree. Back channel negotiations thru the Swiss have been going on since the women were snatched. Everything was completely worked out and deals made before Clinton's trip was ever announced.

I'd just love to know what part of America Obama and Clinton gave up to get them back.

[DAC21]

Somewhere in NK a very expensive cigar is missing.

[Z80_Inside]

Cash for clunkers.

ROFL!

[jackibutterfly]

"Kim Jong-mentally Ill simply wanted the prestige of having a former President on communist soil."

and watch him grovel. Sounds like he REALLY groveled.

[jackibutterfly]

"The 'journalists' worked for Algore, something stinks here."

Yeah, wonder if they'll KEEP working for gore?

[AmericanSphinx71]

“Can we as men and women give a hand to Bill Clinton on this one? He deserves at least some credit for this.”

Not until we know what the trade of there was. More nukes? Missles that can reach LA?

Make no mistake, 0bama put him upt to this to get all the bad press off the front pages.

You know the U.S. made major concessions for this.

[RJS1950]

Clinton was just the store front dressing, the deal was made before he ever went; don’t kid yourself. It makes one wonder what the Nazi in the WH gave up to the NK.

Besides, they were both in the employ of Al Gore’s propaganda enterprise. They should have been left to rot for 12 years.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I agree.

since when has Freeper turned into a version of American Idol with all hte ‘ooooh, so glad the girsl are free...”Melodrama..but this show COST US A LOT!!
