Is The Gig Up?

This story was posted on The Drudge Report and I just had to share it.

A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida, Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.

His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed that the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders. She stated, "They just said, 'Order revoked.' No explanation. No reasons – just revoked." (Sounds kind of fishy to me.)

"As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a 'natural-born citizen,' he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief," Major Cook told WND (World News Daily) only hours after the case was filed.

"[Then] any order coming out of the presidency or his chain of command is illegal. Should I deploy, I would essentially be following an illegal [order]. If I happened to be captured by the enemy in a foreign land, I would not be privy to the Geneva Convention protections," he said.
Cook said without a legitimate president as commander-in-chief, members of the U.S. military in overseas actions could be determined to be "war criminals and subject to prosecution."

The Major goes on to mention that a resolution in this case is very simple. Just produce the long-form document, certificate of live birth," he said. Like the rest of us non-believers, the Major can’t help but feel that something is amiss. Its just too easy to hand over a document to disprove all of the allegations that have been levied against Obama.

So I guess the question is…..what now? Asked what this decision means for every other serviceman who objects to deployment under a president who has not proven he is eligible for office, Cooks lawyer, Taitz, responded: "Now, we can have each and every member of the military – each and every enlistee and officer – file something similar saying 'I will not take orders until Obama is legitimately vetted.'"

How sweet that would be.
