Clinton Finally Meets His Old Friend

How nice.  This is what happens when you elect Democrats.  They legitimate and lend authority to tyrants like the Dear Leader.  Thanks, Chairman Maobama.  You going to send Jimmah there to negotiate next?

 

Bubba better watch out they might hold him hostage too until The ONE decides to show Kim Jong mentally-Ill the real respect that he so richly deserves by giving him more nuclear reactors and additional missile technology so that he can REALLY threaten us.

From BBC News, no emphasis is necessary:

Bill Clinton meets N Korea leader
14:48 GMT, Tuesday, 4 August 2009

Former US President Bill Clinton has met North Korean leader Kim Jong-il during an unannounced visit to the country, state media have announced.

Mr Clinton is in Pyongyang to discuss the fate of jailed US journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee.

He is the highest-profile American to visit since his secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, in 2000.

Analysts say Mr Clinton may also try to ease the deadlock over the North's nuclear ambitions.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that Mr Clinton had "courteously" conveyed a verbal message from US President Barack Obama, although the White House said that Mr Clinton had not carried a message from Mr Obama.

I like the truly thoughtful image that Deutsche-Welle News posted of our former "Great Leader" digitally superimposed onto the NK flag, how appropriate:

Only when Democrats are in office.

Hell, why not?  He has never met a commie dictator or terrorist organization that he didn't like

As was to be expected the little, pot-bellied thug released the American reporters to former Pres. Clinton; after Clinton kissed his fat, little ass.  I just wonder what the NK turd will ask for next time; whatever it is he now knows that we'll negotiate and relent.  (And, judging by the comments in this article, this was not an 'unofficial, private visit'.)

The reporters work for Al Gore's "Current TV" network by the way.  Not sure if that was reported anywhere.

N. Korean leader reportedly pardons U.S. journalists

(CNN) -- North Korean President Kim Jong Il has pardoned and ordered the release of two U.S. journalists, state-run news agency KCNA said Wednesday.

The announcement came after former U.S. President Bill Clinton met with top North Korean officials in Pyongyang to appeal for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who had been arrested while reporting from the border between North Korea and China.

"Clinton expressed words of sincere apology to Kim Jong Il for the hostile acts committed by the two American journalists against the DPRK after illegally intruding into it," the news agency reported. "Clinton courteously conveyed to Kim Jong Il an earnest request of the U.S. government to leniently pardon them and send them back home from a humanitarian point of view.

"The meetings had candid and in-depth discussions on the pending issues between the DPRK and the U.S. in a sincere atmosphere and reached a consensus of views on seeking a negotiated settlement of them."

The report said Clinton then conveyed a message from President Obama "expressing profound thanks for this and reflecting views on ways of improving the relations between the two countries."

It added, "The measure taken to release the American journalists is a manifestation of the DPRK's humanitarian and peace-loving policy.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

You are right; I'm sure that Chairman Maobama is saving Jimmah to send as his negotiator with the mad mullahs in Iran though.

Me too.
