I think it's funny, they are now paranoid of the five eyes......lol. I wonder what role they played in the interdiction of that North Korean vessel by Panama. Panama say they where notified of the vessel but did not say by whom.

4 Yes , that vessel is a big worry . Missiles from Cuba to North Korea ? From what I read they thought the vessel was carrying drugs not weapons . A coup for DEA
and not CIA . Which worries me . I know that the frustrated preacher , Obama , is pulling out of the nasty world but how far will the pull out go ? UK ,do not reduce your nuclear arsenal , increase it !
