2 American journalists are on US soil…

Good morning, Netizens...

Free at last! Thank God they are free at last!

To say that the 2 US journalists that were once held by North Korea learned quickly how to make an entrance onto US soil at Bob Hope International Airport is an understatement by itself. In the first picture you see the various people involved, including Euna Lee and Laura Ling and their respective families.

The second picture is of Bill Clinton greeting everyone after his departure from the plane.

The third picture, showing Laura Ling's tearful speech thanking everyone who participated in their safe return to America, with Bill Clinton and Al Gore standing immediately at her side.

One hastens to note that NONE of this event was sanctioned by President Barak Obama, although one is relatively certain, despite the various disclaimers being heard in the news media at various times, that he was more intimately-involved than perhaps we are being told.

The pictures, of course, are TV captures from KREM-TV and CBS news.



 

Of course, now they are both safely home, the feeding frenzy of news interviews and endless statements by the various people involved will commence, if not continue.

One wonders abstractly, do you believe Bill Clinton feels frisky enough for a trip to Iran to rescue three hikers?
