Speaking of the BC conspiracy:

Yesterday, someone mentioned here the soldier who refused to deploy because he wanted proof Obama really WAS his CinC.
Today I see at PFP this announcment from WND, that reliable, unbiased and always accurate newsource, that the army had rescinded the order, and his "lawyer" (who, btw, is a dentist with an online law degree, not licensed by the ABA) crowed:
"We won! We won before we even arrived. It means that the military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate – and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the order!"

She continued, "They just said, 'Order revoked.' No explanation. No reasons – just revoked."

That seemed so strange that I looked elsewhere. The first sentence pretty much said it all to me.

It turns out that Cook had volunteered for duty in Afghanistan just two months before filing a lawsuit to get out of it:

Earlier today, Quon said Cook submitted a formal written request to Human Resources Command-St. Louis on May 8, 2009 volunteering to serve one year in Afghanistan with Special Operations Command, U.S. Army Central Command, beginning July 15, 2009. The soldier’s orders were issued on June 9, Quon said.

Now, you might think that makes no sense. Why would Cook volunteer for duty in May, and then file a lawsuit in July claiming that he shouldn’t be “forced” to go because Barack Obama isn’t a natural born citizen ?

Perhaps it’s because he was planning to file this lawsuit all along.

Dear Attorney Orly,

My name is Major Stefan F. Cook. I am an officer in the Army Reserve of the United States of America and understand that you are heading up a class action suite to request that Barack Obama show he meets the Constitutional qualifications to be our Commander In Chief. As an officer in the U.S. Army, I have the right to know that I am following the lawful orders from a Constitutionally qualified Commander In Chief.

I would like to sign on as a participating plaintiff in this class action.

Please advise.

V/R

STEFAN F. COOK
MAJ, EN, US ARMY

Major Cook went on to send Dr. Taitz a signed, notarized consent form authorizing her to name him as a plaintiff in this suit.

So, let’s get the timeline down:

February 1, 2009: Major Cook signs on as a “military Plaintiff” with Orly Taitz, a phenomenon I noted back in February

May 8, 2009: Major Cook volunteers for deployment to Afghanistan

July 10, 2009: Major Cook files a lawsuit asking to get out of his deployment because Obama is not a “natural born citizen”

Something smell fishy to you ?

Yea, me too.

Update: Not surprisingly the local U.S. Attorney has filed a Motion to Dismiss Orly’s TRO application, and it contains this fabulous sentence:

The Commanding General of SOCCENT has determined that he does not want the services of Maj. Cook, and has revoked his deployment orders.


Heh

Update # 2: The milbloggers at Mudville Gazette and Blackfive are picking up on the idea that Orly and Cook have basically perpetrated a massive scam to create a cause of action, and Greyhawk at Mudville has this interesting note:

When contacted, a spokesperson at U.S. Army Human Resources Command declined further comment, citing policy regarding ongoing investigations.

Ongoing investigations, huh ?

Something tells me Major Cook will become very familiar with a few JAG officers in the near future.
