In case my post gets lost in the Sauce....
Daniel was not written when you claim it was written, and the predictions made therein that did not amount to "prophecy after the fact" failed to come to pass, gloriously, dramatically, irrefutably. I personally prefer my prophecies to be spoken before the fact, and it's a plus when they actually come true, as opposed to just being claimed to have come true. Historians do agree that the author(s) knew their history (IE were historically accurate), but not for the reasons you seem to believe. Historians believe they knew their history because the "prophecies" contained therein were written when the events actually were history. This is similar to the situation with the last prophecy you offered up that I responded to.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
