The US government at the direction of Barack Obama is now accusing Israel of spying on the Iran Nuclear talks, and then using the information it got to influence the US Congress.
Well, of course Israel was spying on the Iran Nuclear talks. Why would even Israel even bother to maintain a spy agency, if not to spy on events like the Iran Nuclear talks, which relate to matters that threaten their existence as a nation?
The apparent decision by the White House to leak the allegations is the latest symptom of the growing gulf between Barack Obama’s administration and Binyamin Netanyahu’s government over the Iran talks, in which the Israeli leader suspects US officials of being ready to make too many concessions at the expense of Israeli security. Intelligence analysts suggested that the leak reflects the degree of anger in Washington at Netanyahu’s actions, and could mark a more serious blow to the already tottering relationship.
Supporters of Israel, at least the ones with their brains activated, will quickly see this as more animosity by Obama and the Democrats towards Israel and its Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
How did we ever get such a petulant punk for a president? Seriously, these kinds of antics by Barack Obama are an embarrassment to us all.
The NSA is building a second huge data center because of the sheer amount of data it has collected.
Like we don't spy ourselves and leak the data if it furthers our agenda.
The NSA may have huge amounts of data but, judging by the number of time we have been surprised by events in the Middle East, very little information. Imperial Security has become so big it cannot predict anything with any hope of success.

If my livelihood was in jeopardy, I would be doing everything I could to see who was plotting against my nations security.

And when we report that we had no idea another country comes back with "But we told you X months ago".
The Boston Bombers come to mind. We had no idea or so they say yet Russia says they told our CIA/FBI/DHS about the brothers.

I am a supporter of Israel, but why should that mean I think Israel is always right about everything? If they spied on US, it is wrong, and there is no animosity in pointing it out. If US spied on Israel, people would be more than happy to point it out, but should that mean they are guilty of animosity against the US? Israel spies, so does the US. Should we pretend it doesn't happen?
