a big deal. there s always a conflict here. america is the big fish. countries bristle when we don t do not observe their boundaries. we don t have to throw it in their face that we are the biggest country in the world. they don t want to be the robin to the batman even though they are the robin to our batman. countries should also worry a little less about the information leaked after an attack and about the acting on the information. i would be more outraged for what happens before. kimberly: great point. be more upset about what you missed the on the aftermath and saying oh, we are upset now because you are giving information up. jesse, what we do to mend this relationship? obviously the u.k. is upset. we know we have a leaking problem. now this gives the president a platform to say listen, we will get to the bottom of this. whoever is behind it will have to be prosecuted. enough is enough. jesse: .
