The Day The War On Terror Died

[Kid Eager]

Enlighten me. And I said good reason.

Without wishing to disclose prior work, you alway always always spy on your allies, so that you know when and if to pull strings to keep the alliance strong.

This SPIEGEL article is actually worth reading. It's about Obama's sociopathic behaviour on the world scene. He's the ultimate hypocrite, while Merkel is the ultimate opportunist.

You should read about Andrei Chikatilo if you want to know what socipathy is.

She isn't frowning in the picture. She haz a sad.

Another creepy and awkward neck rub from W will make things all better.

You fool, he was obviously planting a microchip under her skin.

But what will they do when they find out that Goebbels is fat?

Everyone spies on everyone. The only rule is: don't get caught.

Well we broke the rule.

Do you suppose anyone is listening in on Obama's phone too?

Doubt it. They would probably target his advisers. That way 'they' would know what he's going to do before he does.

Thank you for the last few responses. So no good reason apart from the paranoid belief that staunch allies might be acting in their own national interest.

Of course I know this happens. I can't excuse it though.

Yes, big deal, an anonymous internet poster unhappy. Still.....

I guess Australia had no good reasons for spying on the Indonesian President either....

Calling Germany "staunchest ally" is a stretch.

That pride of place belongs to the UK.

By quite a margin.

Should have bought more ATT, etc.

And we would never spy on them.

Technically the answer is no, the UK is part of the Five Eyes and as such shouldn't be being spied on by any of the other four members, one of which is the US. However... it does appear that the NSA at least considered breaking that agreement.

For those that don't know, the Five Eyes consists of the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Retaliation for Spying: Germany Asks CIA Official to Leave Country

In what amounts to a diplomatic earthquake, Berlin has asked the country's top CIA official to leave Germany. The measures comes in response to the second allegation in a week of a German government employee spying for the US.

Finally something. Although this is still highly symbolic (they didn't even technically expel him) and mostly due to the outrage of a public that really has had enough of the ultra-arrogant behaviour of this "friend".

So merkel is obviously insane, and hates freedom.
I'm confused here: Can a german be the new new hitler? Anybody knows if that is against the rules somehow?
