"Map: US bases encircle Iran" http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/interactive/2012/04/2012417131242767298.html
"US....close military partnerships with....and Azerbaijan"
No need for a color revolution and a flood of US backed NGO's just yet unless they change their temporary accommodation of foreign military policy.
The bases and transit corridors are fine.
An electrical outlet into an ethernet network is common now for creating a network.
The magic will be in complex layers of wireless devices all demanding more networking and bandwidth per room:)
Think compression. They have your voice print as math, spending habits as numbers, full chat history as text, phone records, fames of video (web or cctv) and any actions taken by other US agencies. Where the data numbers get interesting is the short term raw in (massive uncompressed) vs well compressed, indexed long term storage. Great for people to try and work out.
Too much data is a good talking point- sound, film, records for every US citizen would be too 'much' at any point in computer history: no US domestic issues ever.
The US generally liked to work on data under the sats/from links in a local safe country - UK, Australia.
This helped in 3 ways:
No need to have expensive encryption 'everywhere' moving a constant stream of useless bulk data around.
Better to put that hardware to collection rather than layers of encryption.
By sharing with the locals it kept then addicted to the data stream for generations.
Unique encryption was only need for the end product - Russia and China, France and Brazil knew the US got everything - in space or telco loops.
So where you see huge US hardware - thats where the US is getting interested. Welcome to the home front.
As for these issues, its just a huge amount of coding, hardware links, power and cooling - not many have the trust anymore and some skill sets are fly in fly out.
A lot of small groups will fix the issues fast and the US will be back on track for years of domestic missions very soon.
Re They might record the fact for now. The domestic locked box and domestic interests would point to a change to 'all you wanted' soon.
You have a generation now that knows nothing but war and they are slowly moving out into the workplace.
No longer just looking out over the EU or into Asia.
For some the word domestic is like a term from the Cold War. Good for staff to reflect on but the mission and new hardware is very local now.
There's a great future in encryption. Think about it. Will you think about it?
Beware of charming open source projects via forums and irc rooms. You will be falling into a personality cult.
Become a polymath, you will need history, science, art, music, math and much more to fully understand the needs of your buzzword touting clients.
Beware of the security clearance - years of your life will be dedicated to larger projects with real world stories, the press and politics.
Be aware of who your working for and their reputation. Their global vision, lies and domestic issues will be all over your clean CV for years.
Study your boss the way a team studied your CV. Who is really paying the bills.
Programming languages are like fads, short-lived and very amazing. Learn the educational basics, then see what interests you.
The no longer accountable or controllable aspect is really where the GCHQ was generationally.
The UK could offer very little to the GCHQ but limits on budgets and endless 'new' ideas about crime fighting and using call transcripts/logs in court.
The GCHQ would then have to invent amazing ways to present its call transcripts/logs in court without exposing methods, brands, experts or the embarrassing totality of Soviet spying.
Generationally the GCHQ was closer to the NSA, US mil and their clean well funded digital/telco vision.
The ability to addict a select few UK political leaders with pure global data ensured a constant upgrade cycle and legal powers.
Snowden is really the new factor. The world now understands what the internet and telco system really was.
If the best networks go dark, what gossip do the UK political leaders get to enjoy and who will fill in the gaps? A good time for the CIA and MI6 to offer their insights - returning the NSA/GCHQ to a more supportive role?

Yes now you have the computer power for the UK to finally do what it had to beg the NSA for years ago.
A generation of total digital information awareness, been offered back to tame political leaders if they are supportive of the intelligence community.
Because the numbers dont add up for wide scale use? You just cant keep packing people into wireless 24/7 as an everyday networking solution with useful pings, speeds.
Its fine for a few users with caps and limits on the way to work, on the way home or in a park, car, train.
You average cell tower can give every user a tiny slice of timed networking that loads a page, video clip 'fast'.
The hold up is the reality of basic physics. If it worked every wealthy nation would line their cities/suburbia with line of sight antennas and never have to spend on optical to the node or home. No trying to get optical close to copper, roll out optical or try and resell old HFC.
The wireless tech is charming for people on the move, not so predictable for huge networks with the way people will use vast amounts of data and need low pings.
Its the very edge of a new optical network solution, just before need to use a sat connection.
The user will soon learn that limited hertz spread over many users hurts every aspect of the modern online experience.
Beams, targeting, timing gets you great bits per hertz... @ how many users per cell? 4, 20? whats that usable Mbps down to? 35? 5?
Unless the location is remote with a limited users, its better to go with nation building optical.
Roll out optical and let any isp, telco get equal access to users. Where you cant to optical, do really good fixed wireless then sat.
Yes cold a "Cloward-Piven Strategy" like big spending issue will catch up one day.
From welfare food cards, science, education, medical needs, too much heavy engineering maintenance, storm/flood bail outs, endless wars, banking support, foreign aid, countless illegal immigrants...to hidden internal ideology: the boondoggles and now legal insider trading is getting noticeable.
Once all that could be hidden as the "cold war" or wise investments by generational trusts, NGO's and very gifted career politicians.
Soon their will be stark USSR like options:
Flood the world with raw materials and hope the prices do not drop too much just to make ends meet.
Flood the world with war related products, hope peace will never break out, keep generational skilled staff in place and hope the export orders keep flowing.
Re 'will do for much of the conflict"
Did you miss the optics of "California governor signs law defying cooperation with NDAA indefinite detention" and AB351? http://rt.com/usa/california-ndaa-ban-law-612/ http://tracking.tenthamendmentcenter.com/issues/ndaa/ seems a few States are considering aspects of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF).
Yes expect to see many more "lily pads" ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Security_Location (host-nation facility with little or no permanent U.S. personnel presence) as AFRICOM expands.
The US can say its not expanding bases or sending troops. Just lots of regional 'invites' and 'friends':)
The tactical operations side is getting interesting. The locals are no longer afraid. The idea that large scale use of Soviet small arms can hold tactical operations is something different.
What are the options? Death squads with a local faith based: divide and conquer backend with threats and endless alliances?
Soft arms embargoes that bypass local freedom fighters?
He can be held indefinitely as a prisoner of war.
That never ending war on a tactic again vs war country again?:) Criminal law is really what you want to quote as at some point you get into the legality of "prisoner of war", conflict with a "country" and Red Cross visits, law reform and the press.

Re worried about the next Edward Snowden... if you read http://cryptome.org/2013/10/questioning-snowden-truth.htm the US gov seems to be doing a great job with the press.
This was a good read too http://cryptome.org/2013/10/gchq-mullenize.pdf so expect http://cryptome.org/2013/10/packet-stain/packet-staining.htm for the domestic US networks. Thats a lot of power and cooling for just a human life of 'data' storage.

"10,000 jihadists - who would include foreign fighters - fighting for powerful factions linked to al-Qaeda.."
"30,000 moderates belonging to groups that have an Islamic character, meaning only a small minority of the rebels are linked to secular or purely nationalist groups."
