Biden told us that Obama would be tested by our enemies, but he didn't say "by all of them !!"

Editor's notes: the real story, here, is the failure that is the Obama/Russia diplomatic strategy which is: "treat them with respect, unlike Bush's diplomacy and we will enlist the Russian's as friends and ally's." Understand that while Obama was shaking hands with Russia's #2 man, these same Russians were busy spying on us per the order's of Russia's #1 man -- Putin. It is not that Obama's strategy is not working, rather, that we are in greater danger as a people because of the failure this strategy. Bush was respected or, at least, feared by his enemies. Obama is neither.

Think about this: North Korea laughs in our face; Chavez in Venezuela has been given $5 billion in military aid from Russia; China and Brazil have become partners in several venues including oil discovery; Castro has signed 5 drilling contracts with the Russians; Obama has fiddled for 17 months while Iran is about to become a nuclear Mid East power; Obama has brutalized and embarrassed the Jews -- his actions threaten their very survival; Canada just told him "no" when Obama pushed them to keep spending; Germany, France and Britian have separated themselves from Obama's ridiculous economic plans. Heck, forget about our foreign enemies. Obama has declared "war" on the State of Arizona and he can't even handle that effectively. - jds

(New York Times excerpt) An F.B.I. investigation that began at least seven years ago culminated with the arrest on Sunday of 10 people in Yonkers, Boston, and northern Virginia.

But the charges did not include espionage, and it was unclear what secrets the suspected spy ring — which included five couples — actually managed to collect or what prompted American authorities to finally shut it down.

Criminal complaints filed in federal court on Monday read like an old-fashioned cold war thriller: Spies swapping identical orange bags as they brushed past one another in a train station stairwell. An identity borrowed from a dead Canadian, forged passports of several countries, letters sent by shortwave burst transmission or in invisible ink. A money cache buried for years in a field in upstate New York.

But the network of so-called illegals — spies operating under false names outside of the usual diplomatic cover — also used cyber-age technology, according to the charges. They embedded coded texts in ordinary-looking images posted on the Internet, and they communicated by having two agents with laptops containing special software pass casually as messages flashed between them . . . . . .
