You cannot make this stuff up. Uh, lemme get this straight.....

1. Two American LEFTIST reporters go to North Korean border for a report. Are "taken prisoner".

2. US State Dept., eager to capitulate to NK demands, considering sending AL GORE (the women's boss) to Pyongyang on a Jimmy Carter/Bill Richardson-type kowtow mission, submitting weakly and defensively to North Korean blackmail--DPRK who holds all the cards and skillfully, once again, plays the Americans and their piss-poor negotiating tactics and lack of resolve, for huge saps.

3. Al Gore gets what he wants; release of his two liberal American reporters, and direct dialogue between North Korea and US begins--which is North Korea's tactic

4. Japan and South Korea get the shaft in response, because the dangerous issue of North Korea is allowed to continue and something is given away in the negotiating process. Obama, Gore and Kim Jong il (who showed last minute "mercy", all come out smelling like roses, CNN/MSNBC/New York Times goes wild.

5. The whole thing becomes a huge cause celebre among American liberals, reporters, student campuses, trendy coffee shops in San Francisco...all the while completely having ignored for years North Korea's huge, across the board axis-of-evil ATROCITIES such as boiling people alive and filming it for Kim Jong il's fun, or blowing up commercial airliners full of South Korean construction workers returning from the Middle East to Seoul....

6. Not a single Japanese or S. Korean kidnap victim, there much longer than these two Americans, ever gets released.

Like I said, you can not MAKE this stuff up.

Even one of the women's sisters has stated the problem is that there is no direct diplomacy between North Korea and Washington. Anybody else out there suspicious about the timing of this, or questioning of the Obama State Department and liberaldom, appeasing Pyongyang, over the whole fiasco?

I know I smell a rat, even if the rat was developed midstream as a product of happenstance....

I hope Al tells the NK’s they better get with the program on global warming.
(I’m sure they’ll be most receptive.)

North Korea is with the program. Did you ever see the satellite photo of how it goes completely dark at night?

I wouldn't mind if Al Gore went to N Korea.

What would bother me is that he might come back.

“I hope Al tells the NK’s they better get with the program on global warming.”

Perhaps the trip is for buying cap and trade credits?

North Korea at night. It looks like North Korea is already on board. Al Gore wants the U.S. to look like this.

I’d like to hear that Al Gore actually read a book on the North Korean concentration camp system, ‘The Aquariums of Pyongyang’ by Kang Chol-Hwan, I’m willing to bet he might moderate his view of the Norks.

We eat dirt in darkness, please join us!”
