Silent wingnuts the world over just “missed” this testimony:
Army chief of staff Gen. George Casey, testifying on troop strain before the Senate Armed Forces Committee Tuesday, said there is “no reason to doubt” Sen. Barack Obama’s military shortage story during CNN’s debate in Austin, Texas, last week.
***War supporters have challenged the story, but Casey said he had “no reason to doubt what it is the captain says.”
“We acknowledged and we all worked together to correct the deficiencies with equipment that we saw during that period, not only Afghanistan but in Iraq,” he said in response to the question posed by Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham, a longtime supporter of GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain.
Both Sen. Graham and Sen. Warner tried to play politics with this, and the Army Chief of Staff backed Obama. That has to smart.
So, to recap, Obama didn’t make the Captain up, he most likely was telling the entire truth, and Iraq did distract us from Afghanistan. In other news, water is wet. But hey, nutters- someone just emailed me something claiming Obama was a stealth muslim!
