I’m very pleased. I was concerned that they’d be stuck there for ages.

The thing that concerns me is what concessions were made to make this happen.

I’m just speculating but I reckuned initially Bill’s diplomatic pouch was full of haPPy powder or something Kim enjoys.

Couple of things. It proves the Klinton’s have more juice than the O’s.

Second, proves that Kim jongIl is alive and well and not near death as the msm constantly opines.

That doesn’t surprise me at all. The two journalists were clearly political pawns...and while I’m glad they’ll be safe, it bodes poorly for us that we “blinked” under pressure.

Didn’t they insult Hillary a few days ago? Maybe this is their way of apologizing, by doing her husband a favor. Or condolences.

You are talking a Clinton/Gore operation.. All just a Wagyu Production from the gitgo.. these days , ya never know. are Al Gore's gal reporters that dumb to get busted.. they would be portrayed as dedicated to getting the story on abuse at the border as they did?.. questions remain..

Maybe The Beaded Man Knows , but He's not talking.. Yet!;-)

People gather in front of the World's Largest Beaded Photo Mosaic of U.S. President Barack Obama on display in front of the White House in Washington, August 3, 2009. The project, created with over 372,600 beads by 1000 fourth grade students from across the U.S., was made in honor of Obama's 48th birthday which will be celebrated tomorrow.

South Koreans watch a television broadcast showing photos of the two US journalists detained in North Korea at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul. Former US president Bill Clinton arrived in North Korea Tuesday on a surprise mission to free the two jailed US journalists, the highest-profile visit by a US official to Pyongyang for nearly a decade.

"Kudos to Clinton"

So basically, li'l Kim set up the Obama regime to look good. Smells like flagging poll numbers?

I honestly think those two journalists made a foolish mistake sneaking into North Korea and simply got caught. I don't think this was a "set up" from the outset.

Just an unwise act on the part of two individuals.

Hillary kissed NK arse on this weeks ago....the girls were being released and Bill went to pick them up.

Guessing this was already planned.

I think Hillary should put on Marilyn Monroe’s dress and sing happy birthday mister president to 0bama. ANY humor would be appreciated rather than the media getting orgasmic reporting their messiah’s birthday tomorrow.
Think they will ask him where he was born and to unseal his birth certificate?
