Bob, thank you for your service. Simply, bob, thank you for your service. That encompassed so many different things. It did not say 1983 Social Security. It was just that people really thank him. Every once in a while, there was a hi, pat, too. Thank you for joining us. I appreciate that. Bob dole at the world war ii memorial, he is like a mother hen. The word gets out that bob dole is here and they all flock to him wherever he is. Then the stories start. Sometimes for the first time the veteran tells a story he has never told anybody before. And it becomes a very emotional thing. Hes almost like the minister or the priest or something. People come up to him and want to tell him a story because they know he has been there, and they know he is responsible for that memorial. That is quite a thing to watch. Very emotional. Thank you for being with us on American History tv. You bet. Thank you. [applause] my colleagues in the Senate Special family former staff , members, and guests, but es

You know, china has demonstrated some advanced capabilities on cyber. They havent conducted anything that might resemble warfare, per se, but they have stolen military secrets from the United States. That starts to see an area thats moving closer to offense than mere security and espionage. Russia has devil straighted a real cyber offense capability if you look at the war in georgia.

There might be some terrorist organizations interested in developing that.
