Clinton Closes Deal

There is no way the release of the two American journalists imprisoned in North Korea would have happened without Bill Clinton. And it never would have happened if Bush was still in power. His administration would have talked endlessly about dropping Freedom Bombs and waging Glorious War on North Korea rather than actually solving it peacefully. It wouldn't have been solved at all actually, because Republicans are too proud. It's also safe to say Bush would have never sent Clinton to North Korea either. Letting Clinton shine once again on the world stage is something Republicans would have prevented at all possible costs. Again, though, it wouldn't have happened without Clinton so it never would have been possible with Bush in the White House. This is by far the greatest foreign policy triumph we've seen in 8 years.
