Yep, and the documents Snowden released on the spying of our European allies were dated 2006 and 2007 (blame Obama!). As Obama said the other day in response to this, if he wants to know what's going on with these governments he picks up the phone and talks to their leaders.

Are we really supposed to feel outrage that the NSA and CIA spy on foreign countries? Needless to say, Snowden and Greenwald seem mostly intent on creating this kind of situation. Paulbots everywhere can celebrate, Rand Paul is securing his GOP 2016 nomination.

So, are we now going to war with Bolivia? Maybe Snowden & Greenwald will want to fire up tension with North Korea sometime soon …. that will keep them in the news. Who knows, maybe they'll even try to derail Syria negotions or turn all of Egypt against us too?

Paulbots have taken over the voice of the progressive left, and as far as Greenwald's ideology and motives …. mission accomplished.

Seems that after detroying the economy, wrecking the recovery didn't go as planned, so this is what the libertarians and rightwing have now to really stick it Obama. Sure, let's turn the world against the US and screw trade and foreign relations with all superpowers, screw security and let's be sure there's another good terrorist attack, maybe even a few wars will break out so they can hang that on Obama's legacy too along with the whole of 2001-2009 Bush administration/NSA deeds.

I didn't know that the European spying allegations are from before Obama's administration.
