More here from CNN.Com. The situation with these 2 journalists takes a bad turn for the worse, just today on ABC This Week, Hillary Clinton talked about the efforts to release these 2 from North Korea....., This is a lesson on what you get when you use Diplomacy with a rogue regime....

Under Obama all the world will completely lose respect for the USA. We will no longer be feared. We will lose the will to defend our citizens and our nation. The biggest enemy of America is running our nation.
How long will the citizens of this great nation tolerate B. Hussein Obama?
Let the impeachment begin.

Dear Heavenly Father,

When their darkest days are upon them and they stand alone without companionship or comfort, remind them of your love, power, and mercy. Carry them through this trial and persecution. Make the impossible, possible. Turn this disaster into victory for your glory.

Your will be done, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

ConsOptimist, you hit the nail right on the head, loss of respect, and no one fears us, and that Cairo speech compounded it, I’m surprised we didn’t give N Korea a reset button...

[prismsinc]

As I said before, when you’re playing with fire, you’re bound to get burned.

I fear these two will not last long in a DPRK camp.

May the Lord give their families solace during this crisis.

[Brad’s Gramma]

In Jesus’ Name...Amen.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Thank you.

“For where two or more are gathered together in my name, there I am also.”

algore’s fault

2 Americans sneek into N Korea and get 12 yrs hard labor

20 million Mexicans sneek into America and get Citizenship.HUMMMMMM!

These two did not show to much brain power pulling this stunt and the US needs to get them out,. Then go after whomever suggest that they do it and make them pay for their recovery, IF possible.

[agere_contra]

Amen.

[fleagle]

Dude, this is Jimmah Carter redux. No respect for U.S.

[They are reporters for California-based Current TV, a media venture of former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.The idea of sending either Gore or New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to Pyongyang on a mission to get the journalists released has been floated to the North Koreans, senior administration officials told CNN.]

Lol, send Al Gore, he can probably get them a ‘life sentence’!! Sad situation for two silly young women.

Like Osama bin Laden and Barack Hussein Obama Jr. -

algore orders the peons to do all the dirty work -

[potlatch]

Doubt Gore sent them but he certainly needs to do something about getting them released. Even Mexico would put them in jail, it’s just the USA that ignores the illegals who enter.

Since they both work for algore’s “Current TV” network they must have been ordered by someone quite high up to be there on the Chi-Com/North Korean border

The North Koreans are are vicious bunch - for example - once at the 38th Parallel they attacked American soldiers with axes - killing and/or wounding them

Then there is the USS Pueblo and their crew that was taken in International waters by the North Koreans long ago - finally the crew was released - but NK still has our Pueblo

As unpredictable and crazy as the NK are - it seems odd that the two Current TV reporters where not warned to stay well away from the Chi-Com/North Korean border at all times

The North Koreans have also been a thorn in the side of the Chi-Coms too - in a number of ways

I guess algore and Obama can blame GW Bush.....

[potlatch]

I read that they ‘may’ have been abducted from ‘near the border’ to use as pawns by NK.

So - it's very possible they weren't actually supposed to enter North Korea.

No appeals, NK highest court decisions are final and they were sentenced to 12 years of “reform through labor”.

David Neuman, President of Programming
Paul Hollerbach, Chief Financial Officer
Ofer Shaked, Chief Technology Officer
Paul Levine, President of New Media

I imagine they are in a frenzy now.

After the USS Pueblo and the 38th Parallel killings I mentioned -

There is not any doubt that North Korea simply ignores and legally signed armistices or international borders

They are the scum of the earth

During WWII the Japanese used Koreans as their prisoner of war camp guards

You can imagine the rest
