Basically it's because it is a huge feather in Kim's hat that a former president of the United States came personally to effect the release. Kim is always looking for worldwide validation for his disgusting little government. Even if the deal was already in place, I'm willing to bet that it was contingent on Clinton coming himself. He has the gravitas needed for the situation and, whether we like it or not, always will. None of the other major players associated with the current administration have it and that includes Hilary.
Bill Richardson, who has negotiated other hostage releases with the North Koreans, said that the fact that Kim himself met with Clinton is huge. He said that is never done in these kind of situations. He said Kim would never have done it if it hadn't been Clinton.
It's just blurry.
a disgraced leftist(clinton) goes to showboat the "rescue" of leftist reporters working for a leftist propaganda machine led by an insane leftist(gore) from a leftist dictatorship
not much to applaud there
LOL, sure, give him a big BJ...er.....I mean ‘hand’. After all, he knows all about pardons. And I’ll bet those girls thanked him on their hands and knees all the way home on his plane.
And of course none of this was negotiated ahead of time. Bubba did it all with his charm and persuasive charisma. Right.
These women should never have been there in the first place. They were playing at journalism for some rinky-dink environazi cable TV channel that Al Gore owns. Indulging themselves and Al Gore in their little pseudo-journalism gambit has cost us who knows how much money and concessions.....we’ll never know because this “transparent” administration will never tell.
I’d much rather have not negotiated with the NK and have given the money to wounded veterans or a dead soldiers’ families than to Kim Jong Il for the return of these two bimbos. And Bubba can go putz himself. He is HARDLY a hero. The NK consistently got over on him in the past and he did nothing about Danny Pearl. Further, the only reason Bubba did this was to give the administration cover so they could pretend like they had nothing to do with negotiating Il, which is all just a big, fat farce, and I’m sure ostammer scratched Bubba and Hillary’s back in return, like forking over some of our stimuloss money to Hillary to pay off some of her campaign debt owed to herself. They’re all so corrupt I could puke and the suggestion that we should give any of them a hand of applause is enough to make me gag on my vomit.
Later on I’ll tell you how I really feel.
They look like cardboard cutouts.
Ronald Reagan still gets the credit. The military buildup made the fall of the iron curtain and all else thus far possible.
A hand to Bill and Beurak H.O. on this one?
NO till we know what OBAMAO promised to North KOREA !
What was the deal?
I absolutely don’t believe that the North Korean dear leader is a nice bleeding heart guy
*clap**clap**clap* and a hundred thousand claps more.
The Zero administration promised to send a couple actresses who would serve as concubines for as long as Chia Pet and his son wanted. Initially they were going to be Zero’s, but he isn’t interested in women, so I have heard.
