What he means is, that next time the United States will not get caught spying.
The Story:
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is vowing that a review into NSA surveillance activities will ultimately result in the “right” balance between security and privacy and says outrage over alleged espionage and eavesdropping should not disrupt key trade talks between Europe and the United States.
Speaking in Warsaw after talks with Poland’s foreign minister, Kerry said Tuesday that Europeans and others have “legitimate” questions about the surveillance and that those would be answered in private diplomatic discussions.
“We need to understand that we are all in this together,” Kerry said. “We are all in the effort to be able to provide protection to our citizens. And we have to strike the right balance between protecting our citizens and obviously the privacy of all our citizens. That is a balance that we do try to strike.”
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said he had spoken with Kerry and “we have agreed on closer cooperation between our services on combatting common threats.”
Sikorski also said that trade issues should be separate from surveillance questions.
“These are two separate things, two separate orders. One belongs to Eurpoe itself, to the community,” he said. “The second one is rather national in character, it depends on individual states vis-a-vis the U.S.”

I agree with Patrick Buchanan; if I were Merkel and the rest of Europe, I would tell Obama to take a hike.
