Posturing and positioning, mostly.  Before the announcement, foreign states had
to base their strategies on "The US *may* have the ability to create a Stuxnet,
but it's not certain they have any ability at all".  Now, they have to plan
based on "They certainly have Stuxnet-level ability, and almost certainly have
even more in their bag of tricks that they haven't admitted to".
