    Unbelievable. Does this SOB care about our troops at all? This Marine has been in jail for MONTHS for accidentally crossing into Mexico while he was moving with his LEGAL weapons.

    And before the liberals excuse ignoring this Marine because he broke Mexican law, Mexican ARMED police have accidentally crossed into the US and we had them home in days:

    Just days ago, four Mexican police mistakenly entered the United States - yes, a mistake, just like Sergeant Tahmooressi mistakenly entered Mexico. And the four Mexican police were arrested by the United States. Just like Sergeant Tahmooressi, arrested, but by Mexico and like Sergeant Tahmooressi, the Mexicans mistakenly came into our country with their weapons. Legal in their home country, just like Sergeant Tahmooressi has weapons legal in the United States. But what happened next is the big difference. And what really stinks.

    The U.S.A. sorted out the four arrested Mexican problem lickety split. So, for their mistake they were in U.S. custody only two days and then sent back home to Mexico. But how about Sergeant Tahmooressi? Two days? Not even close. Try two months-plus. He's been riding in a Mexican prison since March 31st with the same mistake.

    Van Susteren, who has been relentlessly reporting on the case, said there is "NO MENTION" in the readout about whether Obama spoke about Tahmooressi, who, as Breitbart News has noted, "accidentally crossed the Mexican border with guns in his truck" on March 31 before he was "promptly arrested, chained, and beaten by Mexican authorities."

    "I hope President Obama did not blow this one….did he mention Sgt. Tahmooressi to President Nieto or not?" Van Susteren wrote. "I am so hoping that President Obama had a ‘side conversation’ with and a promise by President Nieto that somehow is not part of the readout."

    Van Susteren said that, "the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that President Obama had to have said something, made some sort of deal…..he could not just ignore Sgt. Tahmooreesi, right? No one could ignore this, right?"

    Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said it seemed like Tahmooressi is the only person Obama does not want to cross the U.S.-Mexico border and emphasized that "it’s crappy that more hasn’t been done to help free this detained U.S. Marine" who has "suffered months in a Mexican jail for crossing the boarder into their country with registered arms."

    "We must implore our commander-in-chief to help America’s Marine under his command, and help his family with at least having their questions answered," Palin said before noting that "perhaps if Sgt. Tahmooressi had deserted his post, his mother would get the red carpet treatment at the White House instead of being ignored."

    Obama couldn't even talk about this guy's condition with the Mexican president when he was here.

    There is no excuse for Obama just not giving a crap about this Marine.

    Americans think us border countries should let Americans bring weapons into our countries and just get a slap on the wrist. Ha no. There are americans rotting in Canadian jails for bringing weapons over the border. Claiming you forgot does not work.

    Obey our law. Respect our sovereignty. You won't be arrested.

    Maybe Obama is mad that this marine had guns in his car. Nobody tell him that everyone in the military has guns; he might regret that Bergdahl trade.

    So he broke Mexican law? Interesting.

    A couple of points here. Why does his military status matter? I am not clear why folks keep bringing it up. Doe she deserve some special exemption or consideration for being a Marine?

    Second. The man broke the law in another country. He should have been well aware of it especially when "accidentally" crossing a national border.

    If only the guy had an illegal nail bomb, then he would be in Bill Ayers living room now with Obama sitting by the fire talking about ole times.

    I'm amazed by the comments the partisan hacks will make to defend the things our president does, or doesn't do. Simply amazing. If I was them, I don't know if I'd be embarrassed or ashamed of myself.

    I would really like to know why the gutless creep didnt ORDER the mexican president to release the Marine, or he would close the border.

    No wonder many call Obama Carter II on estrogen!!!!!

    I made a hilarious joke based on the fact Obama is chums with a nail bomb terrorist.
    Was Obama in Bill Ayers living room? Yes or no? Ill baby step you through the joke so you can understand why it was funny.

    I've lived in foreign countries for many years and never been arrested for accidentally carrying a gun across a border. Cowboy up and quit the whingeing. A mexican child comes across the border and The Crazy runs around with their hair on fire but a dumbfounded jarhead goes the opposite way with a weapon and they want the Kenyan Tyrant to declare war or something. Actions have consequences - as the true patriots are constantly reminding us. And who gives a sh!t if he's a Marine? And a clueless Marine at that?

    Well that's probably because we didn't have any Mexican terrorists we could trade for otherwise I'm sure Obama would be all over that.

    why else would they ask such a dumb question?

    "DID OBAMA IGNORE JAILED U.S. MARINE IN CONVO WITH MEXICAN PRESIDENT?"



    because that would most likely be a stupid blunder

    face it, you have no clue what the president is doing on this issue

    You forgot to justify your colossal double standard
    Why is that?
    In the case of Bergdahl (one of our boys...guilty until proven otherwise, no soldiers left behind, blah, blah) vs. the new standard for this Marine "He is getting what's coming to him!...Screw him! Who cares? etc," I guess that's why most people think leftists are such lying scumbags.

    I guess the presumption of innocence you all wanted for Bergdahl's benefit has suddenly vanished into thin air.

    If he just received the acclaim and respect that Bergdahl was accorded merely for being in the service I would be satisfied. It used to be an exculpative factor when Boe Bergdahl was the subject.
    But now, on the leftist merry-go-round of selective morality, it doesn't seem to matter at all.

    Your use of quotation marks indicates you think this man languishing in a Mexican jail is a liar.
    Tell me what facts you've reviewed which lead you to this unsupported conclusion?

    Derp! A thousand times derp.

    If Fox and Breitbart said it happened that way, why should I believe that it happened that way?

    of course you can't make a rational argument


    you left out the best part

    "This is getting outrageous--the brazen politicking by the Republicans and the appalling willingness to believe the most ridiculous crap by their base.

    It is crazy and it is stupid and it is mean-spirited to use a POW and a jailed Marine in Mexico with PTSD as pawns in your "OoohIjusthatethatObama" crusades. But they do."

    http://www.exisle.net/mb/index.php?/topic/77671-no-obama-isnt-being-mean-to-the-marine-jailed-in-mexico/


    "This situation requires diplomacy, and diplomacy requires restraint. No country wants to be told how to administer justice, or bullied into ignoring its own laws."

    "Van Susteren, who has been relentlessly reporting on the case, said there is "NO MENTION" in the readout about whether Obama spoke about Tahmooress"

    hardly says he refused or in fact if the topic even came up or not

    Congratulations. I really could not possibly care any less what would satisfy you. I was discussing the thread topic, not talking about Bergdahl.


    What? I am not sure how one "accidentally" crosses borders, especially when there are big (*)(*)(*)(*)ing signs that say "Mexico".

    Apparently you missed the rest of the post.

    Americans are more humane and forgiving of such transgressions so much for Canada's claims of being a good friend
