Senator Barack Obama

Non-Reality Based Pentagon

Remember the story Senator Obama told about the soldier in Afghanistan who had to scavenge ammunition from the Taliban? The winguts went crazy and immediately claimed that Senator Obama made the whole thing up. But imagine their shock-horror when they learned it was true:

ABCNews' Jake Tapper talked to the soldier in question, who confirmed the story he'd told Obama. Now NBC News also appears to have confirmed the story by talking to the Army Captain in question.

But Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman is telling reporters he doesn't think it's true...

The soldier says it's true. The Army captain says it's true. ABC and NBC say it's true. And the Pentagon? Of course not.
