3. Yeah that has to be hilariously uncomfortable

That said, a lot of water under the bridge since then so maybe things have settled down.

5. Wouldn't you have loved to have been a fly on the wall on that plane

I'm sure there was some celebrating, but it's a LONG flight, and those two guys had to have done some reminiscing:evilgrin:

8. Actually from what I have read Al Gore and Bill Richardson have been working for weeks on this and

Al Gore personally asked Bill Clinto to go there to retreive those two. North Korea wanted desperately to meet with a person of Clinton's Stature. Gore set it up.

9. They just said NK asked specifically for

Bill Clinton.

11. They told Al Gore that, not Obama

Yes they indeed did ask specifically for Bill Clinton and Al Gore passed that along to Clinton. Obama was not involved in the negotiations, it was Gore and Richardson with of course some aid from the Sate Dept..The point I was making here was everyone is giving the Credit to Obama when he had nothing to do with it..
