Oh, come on. The kid was imprisoned for fucking around in a forbidden area and taking down posters. How is that Obama's fault?

I hope he is okay.

Let's start with the concept of 'f*ing around in a forbidden area and taking down posters' and being pulled out of an airport and imprisoned for hard labor over it. Now let's discuss the idea that if he DID contract botulism, how did that taint the North Korean prison food supply? I'm sure it was an accident that the food was bad. Now let's add to that if it wasn't botulism, hard labor in a North Korean prison camp couldn't possibly lead to an accident, heatstroke, hypothermia, etc, right?

Obama, Hillary, left him there to rot. Trump isn't even 6 months into his administration, and the guy is released. And are working on the release of other Americans, as they did prior to this one.

Nobody is saying that it was appropriate for him to be imprisoned and tortured. What we're taking issue with is blaming Obama and Hillary (!! who was not in office!!) for his imprisonment.

I'm happy he's coming home. Too bad Tillerson waited four months to get him out. Maybe he was okay four months ago.

Such a STRONG statement! I bet they were quivering in their boots:

In a press briefing yesterday, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said, “We strongly encourage the North Korean government to pardon him and grant him special amnesty and immediate release.”



How much you want to bet Tillerson strongly encouraged North Korea as well - and the contents of that strong encouragement was taken very seriously.......

Waited four months? Maybe? This is liberalism for you: 'perhaps', 'maybe'

Fair point re: Hillary.

I think maybe you don't get how North Korea works.

First-- He is a UVA student going to study in Hong Kong. UVA did not take him to North Korea. That was his own, independent brilliant call.

Second-- US citizens got to North Korea. They are locked up. Someone important visits and gives North Korea some attention. The American citizen is released. See Dennis Rodmen. More US citizens go and are locked up. This is a predictable pattern, and citizens were also released under Obama, and Bush, etc.

In related news: this is why you don't negotiate with terrorists. Or send Dennis Rodman to negotiate.

Also: read the Department of State Travel Warnings before traveling to hostile countries: https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/alertswarnings/north-korea-travel-warning.html They in fact say that US citizens are at significant risk for imprisonment and long term detention.

But-- kudos for managing to get Hillary into the list of people responsible. Never mind that she was a presidential candidate at the time and John Kerry was SoS. I think we can all agree this was her fault. Emails!

I'm well aware how North Korea works. What amazes me is that the left seems to be so damn weak, they get away with it. Kerry...Clinton...take your pick. Both are weak. She was supposed to be President and has so much clout, right? Why couldn't she get the job done?

Regardless of Hillary, negotiation requires doing something like, well, giving Iran billions on a pallet in the dark of night. Trump has used his relationship with China to get that little creep in line. That's not negotiation - that's letting someone know their damn days are numbered if they don't play ball.

I love lines like this. You know you are arguing with idiots when this line appears.

God Bless our Dear Leader, who is a perfect incarnation of the appearance that a leader should have, for securing the release of this young man! Thank you, Superior Person!

Yeah, all those NK launches in the last few month really show how that little creep is getting in line.

Thank God the young man is coming home. Lots of prayers that he can recover some semblance of health and normalcy.

Care to repeat this idiocy to his family, who will be finding out today how brain-damaged their beloved son is?

This was a UVA sponsored trip? That sounds unlikely.

Failed. The guy is going to dick-wag.

What do you not understand about someone being in a coma for a year, perhaps with botulism? Do you liberals not understand he will probably not recover?

The kid isn't going to school anywhere. He's probably brain damaged.

Correct.
His college days are over, he'll be doing well if he can feed himself and walk in the future.

No it was not. PP is an idiot. Kid was traveling to Hong Kong to study there through UVA. Thought some North Korea sightseeing might be fun along the way.

Dennis Rodman gets results. Watch Trump take credit for the release.

1. I will never understand why non-spies go to these places.

2. Poor kid. It wasn't botulism, but who knows? It may not have been the fault of NK either.
