Apparently the RATS are in some sort of competition to see which one can be more accommodating to our enemies. They should all be investigated.

At least he’s not the Speaker but why is Richardson in N.Korea??? The Dems are really taking this shadow government seriously.

Why didn’t / doesn’t our military blow this thing up with a smart bomb, like we do to all other vehicles that we leave behind, for this very reason?

Richardson was on a US-approved mission to recover US remains from the Korean War (or “Conflict”, as the Dims refer to it). He got sandbagged with the tour. Serves him right — dictatorships always can make a “diplomatic” visit unpleasant. Personal diplomacy has its risks and this one is going to sting, badly.

It's called fundraising.

The Democrats are sure to reap huge contributions from our enemies in this election cycle.

I am serious.

Some more from the article:

The North Korea colonel who served as Richardson's guide smiled as he told the governor the ship was an example of continued U.S. aggression toward his country. ...

Richardson, a Democratic presidential candidate who is in North Korea this week to collect the remains of U.S. servicemen killed in the Korean War, said the tour of the ship was "unpleasant."

This is utterly sick!

The Pueblo should have been recaptured or destroyed years ago.

As far as I am concerned she is still a US Navy ship and the idea of communist locusts crawling over her decks makes me want to vomit.

Hell, give the mission to the Air Force. One B-2 with a precision-guided bomb should be all that is needed to send her to an honorable grave.

Another Dim yoyo who gets his kicks by acting like a diplomat.

If this Presidential Candidate(?) wanted to earn some REAL votes, he could have just called in some US/SoKo air support/cover,
laid the NoKo's out flat with his entourage's support,
slipped the lines on the Pueblo,
and get the ship underway & out North Korean waters...pronto.

[I know I would have gone down swinging at least, if I was there.]
