The company Jake works for supplied the jet for President Clinton.
He said, “The aircraft remained on the ground in Pyongyang for 20 hours during the President’s diplomatic mission—boring! Once the President’s team was safely aboard with Lee and Ling, the jet was escorted by North Korean fighters during the entire time it operated in North Korean airspace.” I overheard Clinton’s advisors talking, “Kim Jung- Il felt the former president has qualifications that North Korea wanted to see before releasing the two Americans: a serious attitude and connection to the Obama administration. Clinton’s mission provided the isolated North Korean regime with the respect and legitimacy it wanted.”
I asked, “what about the fact that what the two reporters did was illegal, moreover, Al Gore is their employer?”
“From what I understand, there was not a lot of talking on the way back.”
I stated, “I guess we owe N. Korea a solid!”
One 18 seat corporate jet round trip to Pyongyang N.Korea…$200k
Government fuel costs for the trip … $20,000.
Satellite phone use… $15,000. (Conference call with Obama, Hillary and Al, reminding Bill that even though 15 yr. old girls are legal in N. Korea; you should abstain).
Secret service and non-restricted air space…$? (No transparency). There are some things that money can buy—for everything else there’s… Steve Bing, a long-time friend of Clinton’s and a huge democratic supporter.
Jake said, “This is nothing; I just found out that the owners of my house are murderers.”
