EU Story

 There's a story that started up yesterday and seems to have some points to it.  The EU apparently would like to have it's own intelligence agency (something like the CIA or MI6 or DGSE).

Odds that the 27 members of the EU will accept/approve this? I give it less than a 50-50 chance.  The fact that almost all of the EU members have their own secret intelligence 'group' already?  Well....yeah, there is that problem.  Most would ask....in the end....wouldn't this intelligence group monitor it's own EU members?

Who would it be aimed primarily against?  Mostly Russia, China, the US, the UK, and Iran (my humble belief).

The odds that both Russia and China saw this coming and have already got some candidates lined up to be 'insiders' to the EU agency?  I'd give it a 90-percent chance.

The folks most peeved in a decade?  The Brits.  They will go ballistic learning that a dozen EU James Bond-like spies are in London.
