Ted, I saw the news. Awesome. Of course, you know Bill just wanted to take those two girls on a date ... jajajajaja

In all seriousness, I didn't think North Korea just wanted some face time with a former U.S. president. Just goes to prove once again that North Korea is eccentric and unpredictable ...


I think it was more that NK was trying to save face. A few weeks ago they were getting a lot of pressure from the West to release the women; doing so would have made them look weak. I bet they were getting pressure from China as well. Whatever the Obama administration did behind the scenes as well as sending Clinton seems to have done the trick.

Having said that, I wish Americans would stay a healthy distance from the borders of rogue nations. To much energy has to be spent getting those people back out.

Yup, and those two girls and their families are darn happy he did.

He, Podesta and staff, plus Al Gore, President Obama and Sec of State Clinton are all to be congratulated for this very successful effort. And now Bolton can go back and play with his toy (hopefully) missiles.
