Retired Three-Star Lieutenant General Backs ‘Birther’ Army Doctor
The retired Lt. Gen. is a Fox News contributor as well as a birther. Color me surprised.
Retired Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney has officially joined the legions of birthers, after writing an affidavit in support of Army Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin who refused to deploy to Afghanistan because he does not believe President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Lakin faces a court martial on Oct. 13 for his refusal.
The affidavit from McInerney acknowledges concerns about Obama’s Constitutional eligibility, and demands that he release his birth records or that the court authorize discovery.
In addition, a hearing is set for Thursday at Fort Meade, Md. over a defense request for deposition of Hawaiian officials and written discovery of President Barack Obama’s school and college records.
McInerney, a Fox News contributor and member of the Iran Policy Committee, served in Vietnam, overseas in NATO and as commander of 11th Air Force in Alaska.
