Chris Wilson Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was expecting some truly horrendous exposes of epic proportion, but what does all this brouhaha tell us? America thinks Prince Andrew is rather "rude", that Putin is a bit of an alpha dog (dunno how they come to that conclusion, he looks a like a regular guy who just likes guns, intimidating the West and generally putting the fear of God into the Russian people ... ), and that some Arabs are gagging for the Yanks to invade another country (hell, they don't need much persuading, surely, a quick "Why don't you invade Iran" over the canapes could be all it took?). A bit of salacious tittle tattle about Muammar Gadhaffi's rather décolleté "nurse", and a comment or two on other world leaders that wouldn't make a nun blush, and all of a sudden the media is trying to make us think that the whole global power balance is on the move. What a none event, again! I am disappointed that our leaders show such restraint in their "secret" communications, I expected something far more blustering and outrageous from them, how very disappointing.

Westcoaster Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I thought the Prince Andrew revelations were going to reveal his 'real' sexual inclinations. What about Quadafi, he has a busty Ukrainian 'nurse' that he gets jiggy with? Not exactly earth shattering stuff so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertwo Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was hoping to see something far more risque too. There was nothing in there anyone couldn't have speculated - a royal is a bit pompous, the US and South Korea discussing the eventualities if (or when) the North collapses or the mob-style rule of Russia. It has been funny watching Clinton try to brand WikiLeaks a 'terrorist' organisation now, calling this disclosure an "attack on the global community" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It's only confirming what everyone who's looked into it already knows about diplomatic relations. Nothing new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It's just a pointless media exercise if you ask me. If anything it's damaging to foreign diplomats who, when needed, won't speak honestly and openly about their concerns for fear of it being leaked onto the web.

Swampy442 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The Prince Andrew story was utter crap just put in by the Brititsh press to add a UK angle, but I think the comments by the middle eastern Kings/ higherarchy aimed at Iran are of interest. But as stated its only the first batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Where is Beast of Bomex, im sure he will have a speach of epic proportions ready for a thread such as this. Ps, everyone is a reptillian apart from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The Prince Andrew story was utter crap just put in by the Brititsh press to add a UK angle You're right. There are a lot more damaging stories already out in other countries regarding the royals which they're not allowed to publish here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ward1955 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The joke is, Iran is probably right - it was all made up by the Americans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The joke is, Iran is probably right - it was all made up by the Americans I find it hard to believe how just one guy (Bradley manning) could have access to so much highly classified information... It defies belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Doesnt even have pictures (that i could see) of the busty nurse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I find it hard to believe how just one guy (Bradley manning) could have access to so much highly classified information... It defies belief. Easy, apparently all copied onto Lady Gaga CD's. I assume they missed a few simple points. * Most people nowadays have MP3 players or iPods, who uses CD's unless its in a car these days. * A secure machine with classified data should not have a CD burner (Simple security measures in IT). * When data is copied, it is audited in the system, so someone would know instantly. * Surely all this data is not kept in one place.
