Ex-U.S. envoy makes mystery visit to Pyongyang
November 04, 2010
A former U.S. nuclear envoy who flew into Pyongyang earlier yesterday did not carry any message from the Obama administration, the State Department said.
“No,” State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters when asked if Jack Pritchard, president of the Washington-based Korea Economic Institute, carried any message from the U.S. government. “Jack Pritchard is there on a private trip.”
Pritchard, who also served on the National Security Council in the Clinton administration, visited North Korea earlier this year to exchange views with officials there on six-party talks for the North’s nuclear dismantlement and on U.S. relations with the reclusive communist state.

Pritchard, who also served on the National Security Council in the Clinton administration...The Obozo administration knows what's going on here. More butt-kissing and handouts!

Requesting asylum. The only asylum he needs begins with insane.

He is not there on any private trip except insofar as it is not available for us to know what it is about. And yes, he certainly carries a message or some unanchored promise from the Kenyan or from George Soros which is the same thing.

Obama wants to learn how to get the little people of America to worship him like a God, the way they do in the North Korean insane asylum.
