Retired Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely

A retired Army general and national security policy expert says Lt. Col. Terry Lakin has "a valid point" and should use his "right to discovery" to force the Obama administration to produce proof of his natural-born citizenship status.

In an interview with Evil Conservative Radio, Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely said, "I think many in the military – and many out of the military – question the natural-birth status of Barack Obama. … I'm not convinced that he is [a natural-born citizen]."

Vallely, CEO of Stand Up America U.S., graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned in the Army in 1961, serving 32 years.

He said he inspected his own long-form birth certificate, and it contains a doctor's name, date and location of birth.

"But he's never been able to produce that," he said of Obama. "His unwillingness to do it also concerns me. I think Lt. Col. Lakin has a valid point. … He refuses to produce a birth certificate that states the witnessing of the birth, the date and who is the doctor. We don't know why he won't come out with that."

As WND reported today, the Army has filed two charges against Lakin, citing alleged violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice Articles 87 and 92.

Lakin publicly asked the president to document his eligibility and expressed a willingness to deploy with the 32nd Cavalry Regiment to Afghanistan, without response from the White House.

The filing of charges may, however, be part of the still-unrevealed strategy Lakin and his legal counselors are pursuing.

Asked whether Lakin will have a "right of discovery" during a court-martial – meaning Lakin's legal team could compel the administration to produce proof of eligibility during the course of the government's prosecution – Vallely replied, "Absolutely. Sure, he has a right to discovery. There's no doubt about that. Producing a birth certificate that has all the details on it, it seems to me, is very important."

Vallely added, "You can call witnesses. I would call the state government of Hawaii. I would require [proof of] which hospital he was born in. I'd want verification from the doctor or the nurse or whomever witnessed it that, in fact, it did happen in Hawaii. That has not been done to date. These are questions that have not been answered, and that's what concerns many people."

Vallely said America hasn't seen military officers stepping forward in droves to challenge Obama's eligibility because they know doing so might endanger their careers.

"The officer corps does not want to put itself in any kind of jeopardy because of their position and because of the fact that they don't want to go the political route," he said. "I don't think you're going to get your senior officers or senior political appointees to put themselves on the spot because they're probably afraid that they'll lose their position or promotion, so they'll take no position on it. But if somebody in the lower ranks stands up, they're going to take them on and court-martial them, or attempt to court-martial them. That's the situation."

Vallely expressed deep concern about what he believes is a national drift away from basic constitutional principles.

"That disturbs me more than anything, and that's why we've got to stand up, because we're getting in more trouble," he said. "It's like we're watching Washington burn as Nero watched Rome. What are we doing about it?"

He added, "Only the people can solve this problem. That's why the people must stand up and do what's right for America because we can't go this deviant route anymore. If not, we're lost as a country."

Lakin is not the first officer to raise questions. Others have included Army doctor Capt. Connie Rhodes and Army reservist Maj. Stefan Cook. But Lakin is the highest-ranking officer to do so.

Despite all the efforts to sideline this issue.

It won't go away. It continues to grow and people are getting very defiant about being laughed at as being birthers.

The NSA, CIA and Joint Chiefs of Staff have run the country for decades now. The president is selected to ensure our lier/show-piece is better then their lier/show-piece. When dealing with China and Russia, you want the best lier in the world to be on our side. Only years after a president is out of office will we have that determination. Wish our show-piece all the best and I would do anything in my power to protect him.

Every day, somebody new in a high position comes out of the birther closet. It's getting harder and harder to slander us as crazy conspiracy theorists with people like Vallely being on our side. Once the "crazy birther" myth is finally destroyed, it's all over for Obama. All he's had to defend himself on this issue for over 2 years is Alinsky-style ridicule and mockery. It's worked so far, but more and more people are waking up and don't care if they're called crazy by left-wing fanatics, or Glenn Beck, for that matter.

AS always !!

You think our liar is better at that game than Putin or Hu? There are plenty of zombies in America that will believe anything Barry tells them, but he's a laughing stock in Moscow, Beijing; hell, Paris and Rome, for that matter.

Putin is running roughshod over Barry. He's bowing to Hu. If he's in office to lie for the benefit of the United States, where's the benefit?

Are you saying Vallely did not, in fact, say what he said? Or, is this just another shot at WND?

bump for more truth

And one more.

Say it on Fox News, Major General!
