Benefits from a drilled tactics.

Bill Clinton let North Korea's little dictator play the big man and flew home with the two American women journalists sprung early from imprisonment by the rogue Communist regime. Clinton's successful rescue bid marked a return to the international spotlight for the former President and also set the stage for a possible breakthrough on renewing nuclear disarmament talks with the U.S. While the White House emphasized the private nature of Clinton's trip, his landmark visit to Pyongyang to free the Americans was a coup that came at a time of heightened tensions over North Korea's nuclear program. A senior Obama administration official revealed last night that North Korean officials had told the women's families they would release them if Bill Clinton came. North Koreans claimed that Clinton brought a message from Obama, but the White House heatedly denied sending any back-channel communications. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters that "That's not true" and called Clinton's trip a strictly private, humanitarian mission. The White House cautioned not to expect a softening of the U.S. stance and that Kim should not expect a change in U.S. policy

ニュースアニメ「クリントン元大統領訪朝」
5カ月近くに及んだ北朝鮮での米女性記者2人の拘束は、クリントン元大統領が今月4日に訪朝し、金正日総書記と会談することで解決をみた。大統領経験者で、現職国務長官の­夫であるクリントン氏が、北の指名で訪朝することについて、オバマ政権は当初から乗り気でなかった。国際的な孤立を深める金正日政権が、政治宣伝に訪朝を利用することは目­に見えていたからだ。このため、ジョーンズ補佐官はクリントン氏に対し、「(訪朝目的を)記者の釈放に限定し、核問題では一切交渉しない」、「訪朝はあくまで私的な行動と­する」の2点を政権の方針として伝え、了承を得た。さらに、米政府機を貸与しないことや、元大統領の警護官以外に連邦政府職員を同行させないことなどをクリントン氏に伝達­。北の宣伝効果を抑えるため、金総書記との接触で「笑顔を見せないこと」との注意も伝えられた。朝鮮中央通信が繰り返す「クリントン氏の謝罪」「オバマ大統領からのメッセ­ージ伝達」といった宣伝について、ギブズ大統領報道官、クリントン国務長官は「事実ではない」として、全面否定している。
