I would like to think the US has offices like this all over the world. But I suspect closing them down is part of Obama’s world apology tour.
My sentiments exactly. Syria and Iran have been acting the fool for decades. Somebody needs to keep an eye on them. The USA won't do it anymore with Obamalamadingdong in the Whitehouse. Israel is the front line in the war with those two thugocracies. It stands to reason that they would want to spy on Syria and Iran because they are troublemakers. Turkey has a vested interest in there not being a nuke detonation in Israel as well. Where's the "scandal"?
