Oh, so this whole "cyberthreats" fearmongering was never really about them getting funds to actually <i>defend</i> the country with you know..."defensive" stuff, but to get funds and pass bills that allows them to <i>attack</i> other countries.<p>I don't know what anyone would take their word for it anymore, after they've already built Stuxnet and Flame viruses to be themselves "cyberthreat" to others, and now they whine about others attacking them.<p>I'm starting to notice a trend here, where in the future they will want to have proxy wars through the Internet with as many countries as possible - basically whoever offends them in the slightest, or at least to use their offensive ability to threaten them into doing what they want (signing treaties, etc).
