Fortunately for Obama, he doesn’t seem to be able to understand what he is saying.
Unfortunate for the rest of us.
Come now, Ted, you know the provisions which hypothetically allowed mass surveillance have expired. I’m sure we can trust our government to obey the law. When have they ever done otherwise?
Come on CrazyH, you made me spit out my food 🙂
The really neat thing is that not only does the US bomb Daesh – when, that is, it’s not bombing the Syrian Army, which with certain Kurdish forces is the only effective military fighting Daesh – it also supports the countries, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Gulf States, etc, which actively support Daesh (in addition to whatever the CIA and «Special Forces» are doing in the region). Talk about bi-partisanship and having friends on both sides of the aisle !… 😉
