CHINA Cyber Attack = TERRORIST ATTACK

US Cyber Attacks = NOT TERRORIST ATTACK

[TheLonelyImmortal]

Before I attack anyone, I'm sure to always yell "Preemptive attack!", which justifies my attack completely. People are dangerous. Be safe.

It goes both ways.Youtube " CHINESE SUGGEST US CYBER FALSE FLAG ". They have a point.

[Nick Melinich]

the thing is, obama said that he is going to stop iran from getting any nuclear weapons (which i hopefully everyone agrees)

[Cosmo Ray]

This report makes it sounds like the US doesn't cyber attack any others countries.The US is the biggest hypocrite on this planet. After Israel and US infiltrated Iranian computers with the Stuxnet virus, retaliation are to be expected.

After 2 years,

how could I walk away

and think: you all are Livid Away

(or talking within your own circles)....did you come back from the beginning Of I-die due to Kadafi's people on the job ?

no, no forms, no expertise from you Govt USA like you don't have expertise in those fields; yet foreign relations is Executive Branch.

I did not work for the private industry that trains its own employees & follows under country's guidelines, laws, etc. but for Govt USA in domestic housing for elderly

[JoseCleveland]

Broad Powers?

I guess, but you had to use me out of my job  and a job that is unrelated to Executive Branch & to Justice; however, the Govt then filled "that void" with its own Version

of God. Which is a commie to those God-fearing like the foundations of USA.

What's New York City Like though? Snowy, white & ice, a little dark? Not at work ? and yo'd ponder (w/in your own circles) what could Bush mean ??? to give csk money & due to Laura Bush passedOUt

[dubbedcrazy]

broad powers? umm!

[Nicolás Antonio Jiménez]

Are the examples of what would constitute "major" (attacks on power grids, cell networks, etc.) outlined in this video actually listed anywhere, or are they just conjecture/assumptions of Sanger's?
