Actually I would consider the cyber warfare a failure. Georgian internet did not go down, partially due to efforts by networks outside the country. The internet was designed originally to function even if sections of the network are down by rerouting through other networks.

The FSB propaganda machine was very fast. I watched Russia today livestream and it was very good. However right now the US is high propaganda mode because of the elections and we are very fast to detect it.

Plus the dichotomy was so evident, Georgian small forces facing the long line of Russian tanks that the Russian allowed to be seen and photographed.

I really liked the irony of private computer experts attacking the denial of service issues. I will place my money on private hackers against government hackers any day.

About the vast numbers of FSB types, that was surprising. I saw those on Free Republic yesterday and I wonder if that happened at the liberal/ leftist blogs?

Clumsy but since we fight so much between ourselves and id trolls so fast we are very aware. I do not mind getting the other viewpoint that much. But some was pure distraction to he discussion. I just ignored it.
