Centcom: Yes, the President Is an American Citizen
By David Weigel 7/15/09 4:49 PM


Lt. Comm. William Speaks, a spokesman for Centcom, spoke with TWI today about Maj. Stefan F. Cook’s controversial request for conscientious objector status.

“Maj. Cook volunteered for the one year assignment to Afghanistan, in May of this year,” said Speaks. “After he brought this stuff to the fore, the unit that owned his billet canceled his orders.”

Speaks dismissed comments that Cook’s attorney Orly Taitz, made to WorldNetDaily, specifically her claim that “the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate.”

“This in no way validates any of the outlandish claims made by Maj. Cook or his attorney,” said Speaks. “The idea that this validates those charges about the president’s fitness for office is simply false.”

1. They don't want an officer like that in a war zone.
No telling what damage the nutcase might do, how many troops he might endanger.

8. Really
As it is, some poor guy is going to have to deploy or the unit is going short one officer. But, as you say, they're better off without him.

14. It would be a bad situation all around
Allowing this shit to spill over into a war zone means there's a higher probability of people getting unnecessarily killed.

12. Welcome to DU, NavyMom
Watch the birthers try to turn this into a First Amendment case or some kind of discrimination suit. He got fired because he pals around with terrorists.

9. I'll bet behind closed doors, the military officials who were
dealing with this matter were laughing their asses off.
