He already apolgized for the US spreading syphilis in Guatemala the 1940's think Jul 2013 #6

Why? Do they have proof the president ordered it. If you are saying he should try to make nice hrmjustin Jul 2013 #7

If the CIA ordered it should anyone apologize? Maybe Booz Allen will step forward..... think Jul 2013 #9

If Russia started the rumor, who should step forward... KittyWampus Jul 2013 #30

So the current diversionary tactic is to blame this on the Russians? Maedhros Jul 2013 #53

Of course it makes no sense. HooptieWagon Jul 2013 #106

I don't know which is worse Maedhros Jul 2013 #125

LOL! it wouldn't have a damned thing with 'trusting' Russia. Or do you think rumors are leaked KittyWampus Jul 2013 #145

Putin? think Jul 2013 #60

Do you have a map handy that diagrams your alleged rumor mongering? Melinda Jul 2013 #64

Do you have anything, ANYTHING to indicate where the rumor started. Anything at all? KittyWampus Jul 2013 #146

No, and neither do you. But that doesn't stop you from accusing Russia or others. Melinda Jul 2013 #155

do you have any evidence whatsoever that russia is responsible? frylock Jul 2013 #72

No more than you have anything indicating it came from Obama, the NSA, the CIA etc KittyWampus Jul 2013 #147

well, other than the call made to the austrian foreign minister by the us ambassador.. frylock Jul 2013 #153

But did Obama do it? NO! hrmjustin Jul 2013 #43

well... sibelian Jul 2013 #58

By saying anything it might be taken as an admission of guilt by some. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #61

Well, that carries the unfortunate consequence of calling Morales a liar. sibelian Jul 2013 #65

That is not proof. I don't like the idea of calling him a liar but he is making accusations hrmjustin Jul 2013 #68

Whatever happens, I think he'd better say something, and soon. sibelian Jul 2013 #92

I think he should just wait and let the Europeans deal with it. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #101

Leaving the Europeans hanging out to dry... HooptieWagon Jul 2013 #108

If they got proof that we were the ring leaders on this then they should just say it. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #110

Europeans already saying CIA involvement. HooptieWagon Jul 2013 #115

I don't think he is arrogant. I am sure there is more to the story, but stopping the presidents hrmjustin Jul 2013 #117

It was a collossal US fuck-up. HooptieWagon Jul 2013 #121

We will find out soon enough. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #122

You think this would have been done over his strong objections? lark Jul 2013 #84

I am not saying he tried to stop it but there is no proof the president ordered it. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #89

The buck stops at his desk lark Jul 2013 #96

No I have not heard anything. But again I say there is still no evidence. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #99

It's already being reported that our ambassador was the one who started the Snowden rumour. lark Jul 2013 #104

Where was this reported? I heard our ambassador talked to the Austrians that night but that is all I hrmjustin Jul 2013 #105

Ever heard of Caretha Jul 2013 #163

If he is responsible for this then yes he should say sorry. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #168

The longer they don't stand up and take responsibility, morningfog Jul 2013 #8

They are already breaking silence and pointing the finger at the US. HooptieWagon Jul 2013 #111
