It is a big circus, and the real losers are South Korea and Japan, who have had their citizens prisoner up there for many many more years than the two jailed liberal Democrat reporterettes from San Francisco foolishly treading near the DPRK border like college sorority girls high on Chianti. Clinton gingerly going in, making the kowtow (which will be understood all within the context of Asian culture by all neighboring nations), and then pluck two US citizens out with nary a concern for many more foreigners held captive up there, is going to engender great anger and jealousy out of Seoul and Tokyo, in my opinion). Those nations are NOT conceding things to North Korea in order to get THEIR nationals back, but were looking for the US to put massive pressure on Pyongyang to cause it to collapse and hasten regime change.

Oh well, North Korea gets what IT wants, and Bill gets a photo op, and the girls will be off to the White House for a ceremony with ZERO and AL GORE (I can see the pool photographers photos now), praising the living daylights out of Savior President Obama and graciously thanking The Great Leader for his benevolence in letting them go, hoping that as a result of this adventure, the US and North Korea could open up bilaterally and be good friends. Yuck! You can see it, this scripted play, now. And all of San Francisco will go back to saying NOTHING about the horrors of North Korea once this is over...even though Pyongyang will still execute Christians and keep others there captive.

You cant make this stuff up.
