The fact that other countries spy on their own people or spy on each other does not address the fact that the US is engaged in massive, bulk collection to the tune of 70.3 million telecommunications a month in France of perfectly innocent people. That has nothing to do with protecting the United States, and has nothing to do with really gathering any kind of meaningful intelligence on France.

France and Germany have the manufacturing and skill base which is useful to us. France is our dependable strategic partner.

Helping to build a better-organized, fair and harmonious world: that idea lies at the heart of my conception of our country's role.
