The fix was in before Clinton left the States.

Exactly. What did it cost us?

I'm thinking not....I'll pay my respects to the toon after he's dead and gone...

by that I mean I'll share a couple shots with him at his grave. He gets his a little while after I'm done with mine :)

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

The 'journalists' worked for Algore, something stinks here.

Are you serious? The Koreans were always going to let them go. This has been a public relations nightmare for the little slug. My Aunt Ukie would have come home with them.

Reminds me of Jesse Jackass in 1983 going to Syria and bringing back captured Lieutenant Robert Goodman.

I don’t have a high opinion of Jesse Jackass, but nevertheless was glad to have Lt. Goodman back home.

The deal was agreed to before he left or he never would have gone. That’s how “diplomacy” works. I’d just like to know what the little pig-face got in return. We’ll probably never know.

We were also told that impeaching Bill Clinton would ruin the economy and for that reason, he should be allowed to remain in power. The internet stock bubble was already bursting. Didn’t help.

The fix was in..

Could be. You are talking a Clinton operation.. A Wagyu Production from the gitgo.. these days , ya never know. are Al Gore's gal reporters that dumb to get busted.. they would be portrayed as dedicated to getting the story on abuse at the border as they did?.. questions remain..

Maybe The Beaded Man Knows , but He's not talking.. Yet!;-)

People gather in front of the World's Largest Beaded Photo Mosaic of U.S. President Barack Obama on display in front of the White House in Washington, August 3, 2009. The project, created with over 372,600 beads by 1000 fourth grade students from across the U.S., was made in honor of Obama's 48th birthday which will be celebrated tomorrow.

puhleeze........ This was all for show. The agreement had already been made. Slick would not have gone if it wasn't already set.

I wonder how much $$$ was spent.

as soon as ‘the bent one’ leaves Korea...sick and gravely ill Kim Jung II will be bragging about what we gave up...

they didn't do it for just ‘soft and fuzzy feelings’ I'm sure..they are evil people in North Korea, not the citizens themselves but the Leaders.

As for Bill Clinton he destroyed the Office he held with his actions of adultery, I've never liked him and never will..
