Spying: get used to it and get over it

What else do you need to make peace with the knowledge that in this here world everyone spies after everyone?

German weekly Der Spiegel reports that the country's foreign intelligence agency eavesdropped on calls made by US Secretary of State John Kerry and his predecessor Hillary Clinton.
Switch to Yiddish, be my advise - cause no one really knows it...

They were able to establish the level of foreign policy expertise Kerry and Clinton possess.....none. Even added together.....none.

Well now the Federal Republic and the US are even, more or less in the spying department.

Obama is reminding Bibi that he is still in charge and Bibi cannot do end runs around him. This is payback for all the thumb in the end slights Bibi has visited on Obama going back to 2009 with the approval of new housing in the East Jerusalem area during Biden's visit. Bibi may learn the wisdom from this of not, in the words of Lyndon Johnson, "p--sing in the well so much, boys, someday you may have to drink from it."

SnoopyTheGoon said...

I read one book by the guy. Not bad, and of course the parallel works :-)
