PROOF BILL RICHARDSON IS THE ONLY SERIOUS AND QUALIFIED DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY

IHT:

U.S. presidential candidate Bill Richardson left Saturday for North Korea, part of a delegation of past and present U.S. officials on what was described as a humanitarian mission to claim the remains of American soldiers killed in the Korean War.

The four-day trip also is meant to draw attention to the Democrat's underdog bid for the presidency and to highlight his extensive foreign policy experience, which includes negotiating trips to hot spots around the world and serving as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during President Bill Clinton's administration. He is now the governor of the state of New Mexico.

As with many of Richardson's freelance diplomatic missions, this one benefits from fortunate timing. Endorsed by President George W. Bush's Republican administration, it comes days before a crucial deadline in a landmark nuclear accord the North agreed to in February, four months after testing a nuclear weapon.

UNLIKE PELOSI'S DANGEROUS AND LAW-BREAKING "FOREIGN POLICY FREE-LANCING", RICHARDSON IS ACTING IN CONCERT WITH THE ELECTED PRESIDENT. BRAVO.

BESIDES, UNLIKE PELOSI, (OR OBAMA OR HILLARY - OR ALL OF THE OTHER DEM CLOWNS SEEKING THE PRESIDENCY) HE'S ACTUALLY A TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED DIPLOMAT AND NEGOTIATOR -- WITH EXPERIENCE IN NORTH KOREA.
