I add to my post #306:

I SINCERELY hope it is the first possility, or that if it's the second, he believes 100 percent that it's not to protect Obama, but to protect American military.

It's fun, being a septuageneian out here in the Texas Piney Woods boonies -- having a nice lady in California trying to psych me. Thanks for, at least, attributing patriotic motives to me.!

My analytical abilities served me well throughout a career in R&D, so I welcome having you list a few of my analytic failures (numbered, so I can address them) here. Have at it!. ;-)

(Did I just validate your first conjecture? Inflated? nous verrons...)

Be fairly warned that I will not be overly gentle in pointing out any of yours you make in doing so... (I already have a waiting list to work from.) '-}

I remind you that, to correctly identify a mockingbird, it is of minuscule experiential value to have seen a California Condor... (Your largest failure in logic [or hubris...] -- so far.)

Let the games begin! :-)
