Women return to U.S. after Bill Clinton secures their release from N. Korea
BURBANK, Calif. - Former President Bill Clinton and two freed journalists arrived back in the United States Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the women were pardoned by North Korea's reclusive leader, Kim Jong Il.
The jet carrying Euna Lee and Laura Ling landed at Burbank's Bob Hope Airport early Wednesday. The women rushed into the waiting arms of their families, whom they hadn't seen during more than four months of captivity in North Korea.

I wonder if Al Gore is going to reimbuse the U.S. for this little excursion.
ReplyDeleteGot to wonder if this whole thing was not a rigged event to allow obama to send a personal message to Big Kim.

ReplyDeleteJealous.
Wonder if bush is drunk today?
How much did this cost? Who pays, CURRENT TV right?
ReplyDeleteNothing will get in Clinton's way if it involves bringing 2 women home with him...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that, Bryan.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they hadt to do to show their profound gratitude on that long flight home.
They were STUPID to put themselves in that position to begin with.
ReplyDeleteSo, it sounds like Bill out did Hillary on this one. She's been talking to Korea and has not been able to get them freed. Then Bill waltzes over there and voila! they're free.
ReplyDeleteThis was largely negotiated before Bill got there. Regardless of whether you think the ladies were to blame, JUST FOR ONCE could you people be glad the U.S. handled this well and two AMERICANS came home alive?!?!
