Air Force Suspends Cyber Command Program

AFCyber writes "The Air Force on Monday suspended all efforts related to development of a program to become the dominant service in cyberspace, according to knowledgeable sources. Top Air Force officials put a halt to all activities related to the establishment of the Cyber Command, a provisional unit that is currently part of the 8th Air Force at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, sources told Nextgov. An internal Air Force e-mail obtained by Nextgov said, 'Transfers of manpower and resources, including activation and re-assignment of units, shall be halted.' Establishment of the Cyber Command will be delayed until new senior Air Force leaders, including Chief of Staff Norton Schwartz, sworn in today, have time to make a final decision on the scope and mission of the command."

Learning from Bush

Many people blame the U.S. for every problem in the world, but in this case it seems that Georgia is guilty of trying to emulate the U.S. without having the trillions necessary to succeed. Presumably, Georgia must have informed the U.S. about attacking South Ossetta but with Bush watching the Olympics it's doubtful he ever got the message.

Oh well, live and learn!

This is quite a neat setup because everything can be stored away, centrally managed and physically secured from a single point of failure .

Fixed.
