Marine jailed in Mexico: Everything they did to me was out of anger, like 'Screw you, buddy!'
FOX NEWS: Greta Van Susteren On the Record ^ | 06/13/2014

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," June 9, 2014. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

(BEGIN AUDIO FEED)

SGT. ANDREW TAHMOORESSI, US MARINE JAILED IN MEXICO (VIA PHONE): Please, get me out of here.

(END AUDIO FEED)

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, 'ON THE RECORD' GUEST HOST: Well, that's a plea from a U.S. Marine jailed in Mexico. Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi now behind bars for more than two months since making a wrong turn at the border. He spoke exclusively with Greta.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: What brought you out to California, at least in part, was treatment for post-traumatic stress. And I'm curious, how is that manifesting it now? How are you dealing with that now because you are not in a V.A. facility? You are in a Mexican prison.

TAHMOORESSI: Yeah. Now I'm dealing with it very well, in my opinion. But also I'm in an environment with no other people around me. So I'm all by myself. There's no triggers to bring that out. So, I'm in a good, relaxing environment, a peaceful environment.

VAN SUSTEREN: So you want to get out?

TAHMOORESSI: Oh, yes, definitely. Please get me out of here.

VAN SUSTEREN: Because you say it's peaceful. I can't think, if I were stuck in a Mexican prison, and I have sat outside that prison for two long days, it's not some place I want to be.

TAHMOORESSI: Yeah, I mean, it's peaceful compared to the prison I was at. I compare everything to the worse. And the worst compared to this -- this is -- you know, it doesn't compare to the -- the environment that I was in before, in a small cell with 20 other people.

Sergeant Tahmooressi should declare himself to be homosexual.Then Osama Obama & Pals would spring into action.Otherwise he’d be wise to brush up on his Spanish.

I really think much of this is payback. A number of states have executed criminals who were Mexican nationals, over the protests of the Mexican government.

So now the Mexican government is getting a little revenge. The solution is not to be more attentive to the Mexican government. Reagan would have closed the border until Tahmooressi is returned. No way would Dutch have let this continue.

Payback for what happened at the halls of Montezuma in 1846. Mexico is not a friendly neighbor. Mexican schoolchildren are taught that the two great satans are Spain and the United States.

If we had an American president instead of a Kenyan, I would suggest that the State Department issue a travel warning telling all Americans to stay out of Mexico. By why would a Kenyan worry about Americans?

I am curious as to why the mexican government let him speak with Greta. Trying to create an outpouring of American sympathy, forcing owe bama to pay a couple billion for his release? Spend whatever it takes dork. Bring him home. Do something good for a change.

Keep hanging tough gyrene. Pain is temporary. Pride is forever.

He needs to convert to Eeslahm and pledge allegiance to the Tolly-bahn....then Mullah Baraq will arrange for his release.

This travesty is solely on the faggot Obama, who could have negotiated the release of our Marine without freeing terrorists. The macho Mexicans scare our effeminate, prissy boy, cadence-speaking president.

“This travesty is solely on the faggot Obama, who could have negotiated the release of our Marine without freeing terrorists”

That’s precisely why he won’t bother. If he can’t free some terrorists as part of the deal, Obama is not interested.

The bikers are in San Diego right now, waiting for more to join up. I just saw a message on the Shield Tactical Facebook page about it.

Thanks, so for the non-Facebook users:

from an hour ago:

Here’s where we are now,

We have adopted San Diego Harley Davidson _ Moreno Blvd location as our base of operations. We’ll be here for a few hours today and are planning to meet up here in the morning to make the ride to the border to officially demand release of our Marine. We are drafting a proclamation demanding the release of OUR Marine to be delivered tomorrow upon our initial ride.

We need a core group to meet us today to help us work out details.

Riders meet us at:

4645 Moreno BLVD
San Diego, CA 92117

We won’t leave without given a couple hours notice.

With any of the four previous presidents this situation would be over in half an hour. A presidential phone call is all this takes to be resolved. It simply a matter of diplomatic courtesy. Unfortunately for this Marine, his own president is as much of a banana republic tyranny as anyone in Mexico.
