Yah, right. I get all my trusted war news from an economics professor who runs a restaurant. - There's a guy named Mike Ditka ('da Bears) who owns a restaurant. Would you take anything seriously he had to tell you about football, just because he owns a restaurant or two? Rodney Dangerfield owns a restaurant. If he told you something about comedy would you give a listen, or not, because he owns a restaurant? Lame.

I know all I need to know by knowing that he's quoting Hersh as though Hersh's word is the gospel. - You're reading your own interpretation into that. No gospels in R.R.R's life!

Welcome to FR 12. btw, you aren't expected to respond to every poster that posts on a topic you posted. - I will gratefully strike you off the list.

These irrelevant analogies do not make an economics professor an expert in foreign intelligence and covert actions of the US military. But it does help me to see why you think it does.
