Marine Held in Mexico: If Congress can't get Obama's attention to free Tahmooressi...
FoxNews ^ | July 20, 2014 | Oliver North

Posted on 07/20/2014 2:15:41 PM PDT by Innovative

When justifying the release of five vicious Taliban terrorists detained at “Gitmo” in exchange for U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl, the president said, “We don’t leave our people behind.”

Sergeant Tahmooressi completed two combat tours and received two meritorious promotions for battlefield service in Afghanistan. This spring, the honorably discharged 26-year-old veteran was planning to relocate from his home in Florida to California.

Late on March 31, disoriented by poorly-lighted, graffiti-covered traffic signs, he inadvertently drove his pick-up truck, loaded with all his possessions – including three legally purchased firearms -- into Mexico at the San Ysidro, Calif., Port of Entry crossing.

If Congress can’t get Obama’s attention on freeing an unjustly imprisoned Marine, We The People must. Join the effort to demand that our president obey the law. Otherwise the phrase “Leave no one behind,” is meaningless.

This is the marine who has been in a Mexican jail for some six months by now and Obama can't pick up the phone to talk to the president of Mexico, asking him to release him -- while hordes are coming over from Mexico to the US.

Obama doesn’t care what we the people think.

The longer he lets this man sit in a Mexican prison, the more he hurts the democrat’s chances of a win in the fall.

With so much bad stuff happening, it is working against the Dems bigtime.

perhaps Bob Dylan said it best with the song ... It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding). But then who knows? Certainly not the obama voters.

Aww, I was hoping North was calling for a band of former Marines to go in there and rescue the guy.

Iknow, I know, but I can dream, can’t I?

You honestly believe democrat voters care about Marines? Let alone one with a gun?

The title you created "Marine Held in Mexico: If Congress can't get Obama's attention to free him, We the People must" didn't match the title found on Fox News and had to be replaced.

In order to avoid duplicates and pulled threads, we ask that only published titles be used.

Thank you.

Thank you much for the ping, Gene! Ollie North nails this, what a sad excuse we have for a CinC (president).

OLIVER NORTH PING!

It’s more difficult, in Obama’s world, to get an American legally into the US than an illegal Mexican. Go figure.

I’m seeing a meme about the Marine asking for his release showing up more and more on Facebook and Twitter, even among people that are strong Democrats. I think they worry that it could be their son/daughter/relative.

I am always very meticulous and use the published titles.

The exact full title of the article:

Marine Held in Mexico: If Congress can’t get Obama’s attention to free Tahmooressi, We the People must

This time what happened was that the title was too long so I took out “Tahmooressi”, but otherwise it was the same. I probably should have just deleted words from the end of the title until it fit, as you did. I’ll do that next time a similar situation occurs.

If he was important to drug trafficking Brennan would have him out asap. L4B will keep this man on Mexicali ice until he needs another ‘wow’ to cover media out from one of the bastard’s criminal treasonous acts.

No way most Americans have no idea about this Marine being held hostage in Mexico.
