Truth to Power

Seems the birther major was running a scam all along

Was the Cook case a scam?

Yesterday’s news:

Well, some things never change: Soldier balks at deploying; says Obama isn’t president. The attorney representing this lowlife is a “leading figure” in the Birther movement, a group that insists President Obama is not a citizen. “I hope that the men in this country, particularly in our military will finally revolt against this travesty of Justice” she said in January.

But by the end of the day:

U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, the reserve soldier who says he shouldn’t have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president, has had his deployment orders revoked, Army officials said.

Lt. Col. Maria Quon, U.S. Army Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Army Human Resources Command-St. Louis, said Tuesday evening, Cook was no longer expected to report Wednesday to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida for mobilization to active duty.

That decision has Cook’s lawyer declaring victory. However, there are other indications that the entire case may be somewhat of a fraud.</em>

Basically this free republic posting ninny volunteers for a post to Afghanistan- which he can back out of up until the day he’s due to leave- just so he can file a spurious lawsuit contending that the orders to deploy aren’t valid. Sounds like an attention-grabbing scam to me. What a loser.
