"Panel meets on vulnerabilities, warfare in cyberspace"
"by Walter Pincus, Washington Post | March 4, 2008
WASHINGTON - If there were any doubts that the United States is preparing for war in space and cyberspace, testimony before the House Armed Services subcommittee on strategic forces last week would have wiped them away.
General Kevin P. Chilton, head of US Strategic Command, said, "Our adversaries understand our dependence upon space-based capabilities, and we must be ready to detect, track, characterize, attribute, predict, and respond to any threat to our space infrastructure."
Although space threats have received much attention in the past, it was the possibility of cyberspace warfare that was given new emphasis at the hearing.
And CUI BONO?
Yeah, I'm a real threat typing here and swimming in shit at the job!
Chilton described cyberspace as an "emerging war-fighting domain." He said that "potential adversaries recognize the US reliance on . . . [its] use and constantly probe our networks seeking competitive advantage," providing the reasons for developing defensive and offensive systems in this area.
US cyberspace, in Pentagon terms called the Global Information Grid, serves as "a conduit that links human activity and facilitates the exchange of information," Chilton said.
Michael G. Vickers, assistant secretary of defense for special operations, low-intensity conflict, and interdependent capabilities, who also testified, told the panel: "Threats to our computer networks are real and growing," and attacks and attempted intrusions come "on a daily basis."
And a NWO architect!!!!
Here are a few of the units that Chilton said have been enlisted to prepare for cyberspace battles:
The Joint Task Force forThe Joint Functional Component Command for Network Warfare is led by the director of the National Security Agency at Fort Meade, Md. This group manages the cooperative arrangements for defending national computer operations and for carrying out network warfare against adversaries. Wired magazine reported three years ago: "It could best be described as the world's most formidable hacker posse. Ever."
The Joint Information Operations Warfare Command integrates electronic warfare, military deception, operations security, and strategic communications to ensure cyberspace is controlled and available to friendly forces for offensive and defensive uses.

Chilton and Vickers both pushed for "prompt global strike" capability. That refers to an intercontinental ballistic missile with a conventional warhead or another type of delivery system that could reach anywhere in the world within an hour, programs that are being researched today.
This is all so ridiculous when you consider:
Prop 101: Al-CIA-Duh and the OSI
Prop 101: Al-CIA-Duh's Greatest Hits
Prop 101: The "Terrorism" Business
Prop 102: Iraq and Government Lies
How much more evidence you need, readers?
And did I mention the DOD's MSM press offices in Lincoln, the Pentagon, or Langley?
