I guess his next stop is to rescue the lefties that took a hike into Iran.

I don’t understand why Bill is the one that saved the day.

Didn't Bill give Kim a whole bunch of aid, or at least look the other way?

Without it, Kim would probably be gone by now.

Kim Jung looks in pretty good shape - compared to recent news reports.

Bill was only the messenger boy. I’m sure Barry promised Kim....oh, let’s say Florida after he destroys America.

This did not come without a price.

And someone to remind the American people of a Democrat president that didn’t cost them their jobs.

Obama cannot be happy about this. It makes him look incompetent

Can we as men and women give a hand to Bill Clinton on this one?

That's just nasty.

I doubt we’ll ever know what really went on. We the public probably don’t really have a need to know.

I’m glad Clinton got the journalists released; I’m just afraid what he gave up to do so

N. Korean leader reportedly pardons U.S. journalists

"Clinton expressed words of sincere apology to Kim Jong Il for the hostile acts committed by the two American journalists against the DPRK after illegally intruding into it," the news agency reported. "Clinton courteously conveyed to Kim Jong Il an earnest request of the U.S. government to leniently pardon them and send them back home from a humanitarian point of view.
