It’s a sad day when you believe the North Koreans and not the White House.

The real unanswered question is, “How much did the North Koreans give Clintoooooooon for his Library & Massage Parlor in exchange for Billy making this trip?

President Obama has broken with past US policy to agree to bilateral talks with North Korea

I knew Clinton promised something hugh. A promise not to attack also? How much real money changed hands Mr. Secretary of State?

Bilateral talks would surely be a big giveaway. It essentially recognizes NK as a Great Power to be dealt with as an equal to the Great Power.

President Obama has broken with past US policy to agree to bilateral talks with North Korea -- a diplomatic plum...

What kind of plum is that, where, a fourth rate dictator negotiates with a third rate dictator.

"We are for the first time in memory hearing the truth from North Korean news agencies and lies from the White House."

Birds of a feather flock together --- it's not a great surprise that we would have trouble distinguishing Obama's actions from Kim's.

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary
___________________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release August 18, 2009

Statement by the Press Secretary
on the meeting between President Obama and former President Clinton

President Obama today met in the Situation Room with former President Clinton for nearly forty minutes to thank him in person for undertaking the humanitarian mission to secure the release of two American citizens who had been detained by North Korea for over four months. Former President Clinton described the process, including a meeting with Kim Jong-il, that culminated in the North Korean leadership granting “special amnesty” to the two journalists and permitting them to return to the United States. President Obama said he was gratified that the Americans had been safely reunited with their families. After the meeting, President Obama invited President Clinton to the Oval Office to continue their conversation for another half hour.
