WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is calling out on President Barack Obama, advising the US president to resign if he proves to the public that the former Democratic representative of Kentucky had indeed approved of US diplomat spy monitoring on UN officials. Assange says that even the entire chain of command that agreed with Obama on the spy order should also resign if the country is to save its credibility as a nation with honor and is obedient with its own laws. The WikiLeaks publisher believes that such a serious order could only have gotten approval from none other than Obama himself who is seated at the highest post in government.
Assange wants the president to relay his response immediately as to what his connection is or what he was aware of regarding the scrupulous order. And if he approved of it, Obama must resign immediately to save the country’s global standing as a fair and just superpower. Assange’s brainchild, the WikiLeaks website, threw US diplomatic relations on a roller coaster ride with the public disclosure of more than 250,000 highly classified and illegally obtained state departments and embassy cables starting November 28.
Now that the firestorm has been created, American diplomats are scrambling for damage control as their once-private assessments of foreign leaders and politics in general have been aired publicly. One of the documents clearly show US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s requests for personnel’s private telephone numbers, email addresses, credit card details and frequent flyer accounts, as well as her comments on how weak the Saudi Arabian government is against terrorist funding activities in their own country.
