Clinton In North Korea

Clinton is trying to charm his way to get to the women he wants. This time for the safe return of two American news workers arrested and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor in North Korea. I think it's about time the administration to engage North Korea and actually got the ball rolling. I believe North Korea is pretty desperate and look forward to engaging with the rest of the world as well. I have a feeling Clinton can bring the women back home. It's going to be a victory for everybody. If Clinton can achieve any accord with Kim, the ailing rocket man in charge of North Korea, in disarming the nuclear program, that would be the icing on the cake.

BREAKING:
According to the NYTIMES: Two American Journalists in N. Korea Said to Be Pardoned.

I don't know what Clinton did or did not. But apparently it didn't involve any shock and awe in securing the safe return of these two young women. Kim is crazy and sometimes for humanitarian reasons you just have to play along. It's pretty much an hostage situation.

UPDATE:
CNN just showed TV footage the two American news workers were boarding the same plane with former President Clinton. They are expected to land on LA on tomorrow morning. Mission accomplished.
