Curious KOPASSUS Komandos and PREDICTION

...............................RSVP ?

April 22, 2009 - Obama Bans Waterboarding

February 3, 2010 - U.S.News & World Report - CIA chief Leon Panetta, FBI Director Robert Mueller, and Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair said that the recent uptick in al Qaeda plots was evidence of a "certain" desire to make an attack on the U.S. homeland, an assault that they surmised could come within the next six months.

**** February 11, 2010 - CNN - Biden: Major terror attack on U.S. unlikely. ****

April 1, 2010 - WASHINGTON -A federal judge ruled National Security Agency's program surveillance without warrants illegal.

April 5, 2010 - WASHINGTON - The United States committed not to use nuclear weapons against nonnuclear states even if they attacked the United States with biological or chemical weapons or launched a crippling cyberattack.

April 06, 2010 - Los Angeles Times - U.S. plan to train Indonesian elite army unit raises alarm
The plan to train members of Kopassus ("Komando Pasukan Khusus": or "Special Force Command"), which is accused of rights abuses, would violate U.S. law, critics say.

April 7, 2010 - CAIR Welcomes White House Shift on 'Islamic Radicalism' - Administration officials said the change would remove terms like "Islamic radicalism" from the National Security Strategy document.

In June, Obama will travel to Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country. His family will safely accompany him. Where are you going to be during the Obama absence? In a large U.S. city?

.

Are the Islamist-friendly administration policy shifts (listed above) an invitation for a terrorist strike on U.S. soil? If so, would the resulting national emergency give Obama either the 2nd term popularity of a wartime president, or a premise for invoking martial law to suspend the 2010 elections?

.

While either unorthodox scheme is certainly possible with Obama, M.E. predicts neither due to terrorists inability to attack during Obama's absence. Can anyone imagine V.P. Joseph Biden's announcement appealing for calm after a terror attack? HINT: February 11, 2010 - CNN - Biden: Major terror attack on U.S. unlikely.

.

Another inauspicious event may be more likely during the Obama Indonesia trip: The untimely, natural death of a former executive branch luminary. Don't look for any connections; there are none. It would simply be due to operation of the curious law of unintended consequences. We are now a nation of laws more than we have ever been.

Submarines are always silent and strange.
