Quote: There is precedent on the GOP side. Nixon sent Kissinger to China.
Oh, good! I see you finally worked up the courage to try again.
Precedent?
1) China was the most populous nation on Earth. North Korea is a tiny poor gangster regime. The US gov't has interacted with the Norks and been burned by their lies many times before in recent years (including when Clinton himself sent Sec of State Albright there). This was not an opening of "detante". It was negotiating with and rewarding hostage takers.
2) Kissinger is not an ex-Pres. He was not Sec of State when he first went to China or even the spouse of a Sec of State. He was National Security Advisor. Also, when he first went to China, it was in secret. There weren't humiliating pics and headlines for America all over the world.
Quote: No theories on how Obama orchestrated the whole thing by having Gore send these women to NK knowing they would be captured and that the state visit would then look like a rescue mission to the American Sheeple.
Pay attention, stupid. Odumba is a bumbling amateur who only reacts to foreign policy developments. The only thing he "orcestrates" is the wording of his apologies.
I only squash cock roaches after I’ve actually noticed them son.
Was the Kissinger trip still an official state visit? Yes.
Was China currently involved in hostile actions against the United States, even more so than NK is now? Yes.
Would today’s media make it impossible for Obama to pull off another Kissinger Goes To China, secretly? Yes.
I take it none of those so called “degrees” you’re always banging on about were in history or political science.
