Intelec® 2012 proudly announces keynote speaker
General Russel Honoré (RET)
Keynote address – Monday, October 1, 2012

“What this storm did was a classic military operation. The storm gathered strength, attacked the coast of Louisiana-Mississippi with overwhelming force. One of the things in a military attack you want to do is to cut the enemy’s ability to communicate. It took out all cell phones and regular phone service.

Again, classic military attack: take the enemy’s eyes out, take his ears out, then fixed him so he can’t maneuver.”
