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

Bill Clinton did in 5 minutes what his wife who is Secretary of State could not do. Hmmm, I thought Hillary was the one that had the job. Either way, I’m glad Bill was able to get the job done. I wonder what he promised Kim Jung Il

What’s our policy of “Not negotiating with terrorists”???? Oh, that’s right, that was the EVIL Bush’s policy.

Kim Jong-mentally Ill simply wanted the prestige of having a former President on communist soil. This won’t change a thing.

I really fail to see what Clinton did to gain their release. Do you have the details?

My guess is that this was set up to make Clinton, an extension of the Obama admin, look good.

I would like to know what concessions were promised to NK.

Needless to say, we’ll never know just what or how much it cost us to get them back.

Very good news. The economy was pretty good under Clinton.

Pure propaganda by NK. What did we give up in return? I’m happy for them for their safety and return.

Good to see that the two journalists are being released....

I will give credit to Clinton on this....although I am sure this deal was pre-planned. North Korea is the porta-potty of the world....and sending an ex-US president over there is a huge risk.
