#1 the new question is, how well is iran at multitasking? Do their network interfaces have the bandwidth required to function against multi pronged assaults, of varying complexity?

its apparent now, that such a test is near. Achmans broad sweping rhetoric serves to ignite and inflame sensibilities across wide swaths of potential. While each network node might have specific interests being inflamed, the specifics of which, narrow within the infrared, and a common illuminated source is show for what it is.

this will become a time of network nodes, as bots, unleashed to common purpose....a model for counterprogramming the unleashed meglomania is completed. flip the switch...

#5 It might sound better with "...got their mire quagged." Which sounds downright painful.
