Secretary of State John Kerry went to Europe to talk about Mideast peace, Syria and Iran. What he got was an earful of outrage over U.S. snooping abroad.
President Barack Obama has defended America’s surveillance dragnet to leaders of Russia, Mexico, Brazil, France and Germany, but the international anger over the disclosures shows no signs of abating in the short run. …
Diplomatic relations are built on trust. If America’s credibility is in question, the U.S. will find it harder to maintain alliances, influence world opinion and maybe even close trade deals. …

They are probably spying on us too, so their angst is mostly BS.
We had a foreign policy?
Funny how your friends will get mad when you snoop on them. Duh!!!
Defund the NSA, CIA and IRS - for starters!
Kerry should never have opened the meetings with “I know what you’re going to say...”
What did Hillary know? Notice how she’s conveniently slinked her way out of the limelight.
The point isn’t that we spy. The point is that it’s been released publicly...specifically...that we do. This focuses “outrage” which becomes real as public opinion coalesces.
The actual problem is that, for whatever reason, we can’t keep a secret.
The USA is secretly an occupied country.
What we see is ARTIFICE.
The NSA and Park Service give us glimpses of the view afforded by The Red Pill.
We soon may get the full view.
Kerry is a sucker who is in charge of NOTHING and now the world knows it.
The blather is propaganda.
No one gives a damn about the spying. The AP is covering the event with disinformation. Recent denunciations by Germany, France and Saudi Arabia speaking for the GCC are a vote of no confidence for Barack Obama.
Obama is down graded to CCC-. There are double bus tire tracks the length of his body.
The world has declared him irrelevant
They are upset that the Administration was so incompetent that they got caught.
It’s like when some wives say to husbands they know are philanderers, “I don’t mind that you cheated, I mind that you got caught cheating.”
Well I think it is generally accepted to spy on other countries, we do it, and they do it.
What brought this thing out to the forefront was when we found they are spying on John Q. Public. Regular Americans.
Our cell phones ,our computers, our automobiles with built in GPS and computers that rat us out, Camera’s at traffic lights and intersections and on the open road.Smart meters on our homes telling them when we are on vacation,some say they can see us through our flat screen TV’s it is a combination of being fed up with the spying , no privacy, and paranoia. We no longer live in a free country, as we need a permit to cut a tree on our own property or to build a step on our homes.
But allowing to get yourself caught, isn't. Like the wife who marries a guy that they know will be a philanderer says, "I don't mind you cheating, but don't get caught, and make me look bad."
