"Mr Clinton's wife Hillary, the US Secretary of State, is under increasing domestic pressure to harden her stance on North Korea and said in June that she would consider returning the regime to the official list of state sponsors of terrorism. The nuclear-armed "hermit state" was only removed from the list in 2008."

No slap in the face that The Obammunist sends Wee Willie to visit Lil' Kim instead of Pilloried?

More likely Bill arrived for a pay check.

This is bill’s game. obama is bill’s boy. o didn’t “send” billy jeff. billy jeff told o he was going.

I never thought I would be thankful for Beezlebubba for anything, but if he manages to get those gals out, I will get down on my hands and knees and give prayers of thanks.

[gigster]

I hope he didn’t have to dodge any sniper bullets after he landed.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, I agree. And yet we’ll never know what he gave in exchange will we.

[Steve Van Doorn]

ditto.. agreed.

[FTJM]

Is this Bill’s basketball and chocolate moment?

[Rudder]

the former US president will use the two-day trip to "negotiate robustly" for the release of two American journalists...

That account is pure NYT BS!

I heard today on both NPR and Fox radio that Clinton was there for a ceremonial display and would escort the two hostages back to the USA. The release had been successfully "negotiated" prior to Clinton's arrival.

Have a cigar.

Bill had to go ‘splain to them that his wife lectures him as if he is a child... just like she did to them... they need to ignore her... just like he does.

[bruinbirdman]

So, the U.S.A. has no direct diplomatic relations with Communist Red Korea. We negotiate with them in six party talks. Kim wins legitimacy with one on one American talks. He has begged for them. He blows off nukes in the hopes of two party talks with the US.

The so called reporterettes are Al Gore Greenie Commies who went to visit Communist Korea through the back door of Red China.

Reagan, Bush I and Bush II said no one on one talks with N. Korea.

The answer has been no except for the Klintoon administration, and now The Obammunist administration.

Let Red China beg for their journo comrades.

For accuracy’s sake: NYT is not the same as the London Times, from which this article came. My bad.

[knarf]

x42 was well paid by chicom money .... this should be interesting.

[Rummyfan]

Bill Clinton in North Korea.... please keep him!!!!!

[trumandogz]

Bill would not be going to NK unless they already had a deal to free the Americans.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

and on this note- Hilary wouldn’t be going to Kenya unless the BC were going to be suppressed?

any takers?

[DeaconRed]

Hide the interns. . . . .

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

my other thought was Bill & Hil on going abroad was to pre-empt disaster not only from the NK’s but from Kenya (Kenya to become explosively demanding for american $$ if their bammie is not recognized as the original homeboy?)

[personalaccts]

he’s probably there to get a “cheap massage”

[mikey_hates_everything]

Regardless, I’m sure the trip will conclude with happy ending.
