All aboard!  During her premier trip abroad, Hillary has packed up her chopsticks and will be visiting Indonesia, South Korea and China with a big suitcase of Obama hope, promising a U.S.-Asia agenda that deals with climate change, clean energy and the worldwide financial crisis.

Her first stop is in Japan, where the US still retains some authority that we know what we are doing, if only because it is the only country with a worse economy than us right now.

“We will be looking for ways to collaborate on issues that go beyond just our mutual concerns to really addressing global concerns,” Clinton said.

Which is great and blah, blah, blah, but the truly important and underlying problem in this area of the world is former Axis-of-Evil member North Korea and Kim Jong Il would really like to nuke us and has been playing with long range missiles.

“The North Koreans have already agreed to dismantling,” Hillary said of the issue. “We expect them to fulfill the obligations that they entered into.”

Doubts on this happening are pretty high. Why? Because they’ve sucked at it previously.  Call it wacky old Kim Jong’s (who turns 67 today and has a mountain he uses to put his gifts in) license to Il. Or just call it a crazy dictatorship hell bent on ruling the world. Whatever, your choice.

Jong has already claimed they have the right to ”space development,” which was a term he used back in 1998 when North Korea test fired long-range missiles under the guise that they were putting a satellite in orbit.
