Breaking: Report: Obama Lied To Angela Merkel, He Personally Ordered The Bugging Of Her Phone…Update: #Handygate
Apparently the NSA has been bugging the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, since 2002. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, President Barack Obama told Merkel on Saturday that he would have stopped the bugging had he known about it.
However, Bild is reporting that not only did Obama know about the bugging, but that he himself personally ok’d it in 2010, and stepped up surveillance on Merkel, calling for a “comprehensive dossier” on her.
[ Why?? ]
According to Bild:
(translated)
For, according to information from Bild am Sonntag in U.S. intelligence circles of the President 2010 by NSA chief Keith Alexander was personally informed about the covert operation against Merkel.
“Obama has the action did not stop, but continue to operate,” said one of the NSA operation against Merkel intelligence officials familiar Bild am Sonntag.
And not only that: Later at the White House ordered the NSA a comprehensive dossier on the Chancellor. For Obama, the senior NSA man, Merkel did not trust, wanted to know everything about the German: “Who is this woman exactly”….
After Obama’s initiative reinforced the NSA eavesdropping activities against the Chancellor. They were not confined to the cell phone of the party CDU leader. The Americans cracked according to the information and the new, supposedly bug-proof phone that Merkel received only in the summer.This evidence to show that the eavesdropping attack against Merkel ran up to the recent past.
Bild can be sensationalistic, so we await further confirmation on this report.
It’s going to be a little hard to blame this on George Bush, if true. Once again, Obama has put us in a terrible foreign affairs situation. Couldn’t be worse if he were purposely trying to harm the United States’ credibility with the rest of the world.
