The Daily Open Thread For 8/4/09: Bill Clinton Reportedly Has Lead To Their Release

Bush could have done in faster with a "Mission Accomplished 2: Iraq And Now, Korea" banner:

Former President Bill Clinton met Tuesday with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il on the first day of a surprise mission to Pyongyang to negotiate the release of two Americans, holding "exhaustive" talks on a wide range of topics, state-run media said.

Clinton "courteously" conveyed a verbal message from President Barack Obama, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a report from Pyongyang. Kim expressed his thanks, and engaged Clinton in a "wide-ranging exchange of views on matters of common concern," the report said.

And already, the idiots like John Bolton are already voicing their irrelevant opinions.

Barack Obama is just a wonderful guy at day's end.
