North Korea Journalists HeldCongratulations Former President Clinton for facilitating the release of two American journalists in North Korea.

“SEOUL, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Il issued a “special pardon” freeing two jailed American journalists after talks with former U.S. President Bill Clinton, North Korea’s official news agency announced Wednesday.”

First Former President Clinton is a fabulous emissary for President Obama to call upon in humanitarian international negotiations like these. The former president has credibility around the world especially in the Far East and Europe. It appears that he has handled this situation very well.

Second Secretary of State Clinton has not been very credible in the Far East so far. She has made some notable gaffes including her continuing childish words between her and leaders in North Korea.

” An unnamed North Korean official quoted by the state-run KCNA news agency calls Clinton “by no means intelligent” and a “funny lady.”

“Sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping,” he said.

The remarks seem to be a reply to Clinton’s comments to ABC News in which she compared North Korea’s leadership to “small children and unruly teenagers and people who are demanding attention.””

Overall SOS Clinton has done a solid job in many areas around the world promoting President Obama’s reconciliation with our allies and negotiations with our foes.  Our relations in Europe including Rusia has been much more productive and our backward relationships with Mideast nations are starting to improve.   But our negotiations with North Korea have stalled completely.  Maybe it’s time for Former President Clinton to get North Korea to come back to the table on preventing proliferation of nuclear weapons.

It’s been amusing watching the virtual traitors on Fox attacking the rescuing of Americans by Clinton and the Obama Admin.

It’s not just a put down, the right wing really do want the worst for America and Americans. If Obama announced the cure to cancer, they’d howl about how awful that is and how terribly that will impact the nation’s future because Americans won’t be dying as young.

As for Hillary’s comment about NK as teenagers, I do agree with her point but it’s way out of line for a SoS to publicly say that.

Let’s face it, Hillary does not make a good diplomat, she hasn’t the temperament for it. Whereas, Bill Clinton is a pro at it.

Really, when you think about this incident, doesn’t it underline that she’s not as capable to deal with issues as Bill is? She’s still in his shadow and snide insults about key nations we need to bring back to the table won’t help.

If you know someone acts immaturely as Kim does, is it really very clever to insult them and make them upset? Unfortunately, you have to deal with this dick like he was an unruly child or pet, carrots and sticks, but done so strategically.

Kim wants attention and does all kinds of bullshit until he gets it. It’s a weakness, a good strategist would use it against him surreptitiously. Not get into a slap fight.

The SoS position was likely part of the deal for the Clintons to support Obama after he won the primary. In the end, with Bill as part of the package, it’s now proven so far to be a decent arrangement for all involved despite Hillary’s shortcomings.
