There is no way to know beforehand how long an attack will last so your argument is completely bogus. I am glad you are retired.
There is no reason to believe that anyone’s screen name is an accurate representation of what that person has done in real life. I have no basis to believe that this person is a retired colonel, or if he is that he was in the US military or if he was that he retired honorably. He did sign up two weeks ago and is telling us not to second guess the Obama administration.
it's possible he/she is a colonel of the "Kentucky Fried" sort.
