That's what I was thinking. That they're sending Bill along with whatever nuclear secrets we have left. I guess Sandy Berger can't get a passport.
Well, the answer is, YES.
it is a big joke here on FR (about Clinton and his delegation being detained up there), but it would not be a joke but would be a serious national security situation...and again as i alluded, we know EXACTLY what (and "who") they would want in return for a captured American president. they are an extremely irrational regime. No American president in his RIGHT MIND would send off a former US president to this place, without putting US forces on high alert, positioning aircrafter carriers, and making it very clear that consequences would made to bear were some idiotic effort to do such a thing enter the minds of the North Koreans. I for one think the State Department and Obama are being very, very irresponsible with this.
They’ll simply use the occasion to enhance their prestige —we might get some intel from Bill if he gets a face-to-face, which considering the DearLeader’s condition, is something I richly doubt.
He’ll get nothing, even if he proves more effective than Hitlery.
Should he try? I guess so...
Report: Ex-President Clinton heading to NKorea
excerpt
.. Clinton would be the second former U.S. president to visit North Korea; Jimmy Carter visited Pyongyang in 1994, when Clinton was in office, and met with then-North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, late father of current leader Kim Jong Il.
That visit came amid spiraling nuclear tensions — and led to a breakthrough accord between the two sides months later.
