WikiLeaks Era...

Documents released by Wikileaks speaks volumes about the DC and Barack Obama administration. It reveals more than what it could have hid. I learned more details on Rob Lorinov's blog. It suggests how the State Dept. poked every other counterpart of various nations.

• The documents further reveal that according to a US Embassy assessment from Moscow Medvedev “plays Robin to Mr. Putin’s Batman.”
• In another report North Korea’s leader Kim Jong il was described as a “flabby old chap” who has “physical and psychological trauma” due to a stroke.
• French President Sarkozy is a “thin skinned and authoritarian personal style” type leader according to the US embassy in Paris. 

As an Indian I was more concerned about what the DC thinks about us. The explosive WikiLeaks hit hard the Indo-US ties as one of the disclosures revealed that the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called India a ‘self appointed’ UNSC frontrunner and ordered spying of the country’s bid to become a permanent member of the body. Hillary directed US diplomats to spy??? Sounds so silly. WE should think seriously, why give this woman the time of day...

Others say Obama has offered a ticket to the UNSC contingent on India paying a ticket fee: it must support the US position on Iran and Myanmar. Wrong, and wrong again. Obama`s support is like a ticket for the first commercial flight to Mars: a favour no doubt, but one so far off in the future that most of us will be dead before it happens. Lets hope it was a great lesson for DC and may their counterparts of other states forgive them.
