Obama is behind it and getting all reports of the kowtow apology/sellout mission, so probably clear on that front.

C'mon, the Clintons are lawyer's lawyers, any coincidental release of the journalists opens up 0 to the Logan Act.

Is this Hillary or Bill going? Sounds like Bill will try being a hero as no one else including his wife and the 0bama administration and all the czars knows what they are doing.

How pathetic.

Wonder how many 기쁨조 the Bent One is to be supplied (plied) with, while up there?

Along the same line of thought, I figured he will make time for a layover in Bangkok. Pun intended.

I hope Kim Jong-Il doesn’t mind being the Pony this show. :-)

Clinton probably flew horizontal most of the way. He’ll be well rested..

My back would be killing me on a flight that long..

If he has been given govt permission, the Act doesn’t apply, I think.

Ex-U.S. President Bill Clinton lands in Pyongyang: report
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE5730NU20090804

“Clinton arrived by air and was greeted by the vice president of the North’s rubber-stamp assembly and its chief nuclear negotiator, Kim Kye-gwan, a vice foreign minister.”

Why would the chief nuclear negotiator be there for talks on releasing imprisoned journalists?

“Naw, slicks heading over because he’s heard all the stories bout “crossways” Asian gals and knows the chiapet has a herd of em, for entertainment purposes only.”

This is starting to sound like that Seinfeld episode where George’s father runs into his old Korean girlfriend in a nail salon in Queens.

You’ve got to wonder how much Kim Jill Ill will be paying Clinton to make an appearance in his poor country.

Zero sending Bill over with missile guidance and staging plans?

That and a check for $50 billion.

I very much appreciate your posts AmericanInTokyo. It’s so sad to watch this.

I suppose Michelle Obama is very proud of her country now.

No American president in his RIGHT MIND would send off a former US president to this place

Bambi doesn't have the balls to do a thing about it.
