The USA launched its War on Terror covertly on September 13, 1995. That was the date when the Clinton Administration’s CIA carried out its first extraordinary rendition — of Talaat Fouad Qassem from Croatia to Egypt, where he disappeared without a trace in some dungeon there.

The USA continued this war covertly for six years, until we were attacked on September 11, 2001.

The USA ended its War on Terror on November 4, 2009, by electing Barack Obama to be its new Commander-In-Chief.

However, using chronological symmetry as a guide, we can forecast that we now are reverting to another, Clintonesque, six-year covert phase. Obama will successfully project a fiction that the USA is adhering to idealistic purity and to all civil laws. That ploy will enable the USA later to effectively use our good-old plausible-deniability punch-below-the-belt tactics on Moslem terrorists. We will smile and display our clean hands as the Moslem terrorists again continually disappear without a trace in dungeons throughout the Moslem world.

Ever since September 1995, the USA has thrown a variety of curve balls, speed balls and knuckle balls at the Moslem world. Our election of Barack Obama — a black-white, raised-Moslem-but-professed-Chrisitan, rags-to-riches, political-machinist Wunderkind — is our ultimate screw-ball pitch.
