[QUOTE=Neverna;3254005]Barack Obama: UK more effective at fighting terror inside EU

The UK's ability to fight terrorism would be "more effective" if it sticks together with its European allies, US President Barack Obama has said.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph Mr Obama also said being inside the EU magnifies Britain's influence across the world.

However, in his newspaper piece President Obama recognised that ultimately the matter was for British voters to decide for themselves.

But he also said: "...the outcome of your decision is a matter of deep interest to the United States.

He also said: "The European Union doesn't moderate British influence - it magnifies it. A strong Europe is not a threat to Britain's global leadership; it enhances Britain's global leadership."

'Stick together'
He said the UK had benefitted from being inside the EU in terms of jobs, trade and financial growth.

"This kind of cooperation - from intelligence sharing and counter-terrorism to forging agreements to create jobs and economic growth - will be far more effective if it extends across Europe. Now is a time for friends and allies to stick together," he wrote.

I disagree.
Obama's talking garbage designed to enhance USA's privileges in Europe.

Britain and other nations have always indulged in cross-border information sharing, it's not dependent on being in the EU.
We didn't form interpol for nothing, and GCHQ and ECHELON is not owned by NSA.

Britain can stand on its own two feet handling its own problems, without the interference of Europe or anyone else, and in this case, America.

What's good for America or the two string-pullers of the EU, Germany and France is not necessarily good for anyone else.

Obama's patent attempt at threatening Britain into remaining in the EU, by foreseeing/predicting a lack of co-operation between US and UK on security issues alone should be taken as a matter of serious concern, and Britain should advisedly review its contracts and commitments to USA.
