A Mexican judge on Friday ordered the immediate release of a jailed U.S. Marine veteran who spent eight months behind bars for crossing the border with loaded guns.
Family spokesman Jonathan Franks told The Associated Press on Friday that the judge decided to release retired marine Andrew Tahmooressi, an Afghanistan veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder whose detention brought calls for his freedom from U.S. politicians, veterans groups and social media campaigns.
And who is to say that the State Dept. wasn't lobbying his case and worked out a way for him to be released while the Mexican government saved face.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's called diplomacy.
Can't hang anything on Obama here.
Yet another sign that Obola´s time is over. It does appear that Sgt. Tahmooressi was detained as a favor to the President and his falling fortunes have been read by the Mexicans as a time to abandon the weak horse.
DeleteAfter all, Tahmooressi represents everything Obola et al hate: He´s a MAN, a white man, a military man, a proven brave man, a gun owner and probable Republican.
A President who will trade a deserter for 5 terrorists is not going to go out of his way to get the release of a Marine. The man (and I use the term loosely) hasn´t an ounce of honor in his system.
Quite right, Ducky.
DeleteLet's hope American "diplomacy" is as careful and painstakingly deliberate if you're ever clapped in a third-world shithole...
MRORR, that's retarded. Only a steaming moron would believe such mindless stupidity.
DeleteJMJ
Sorry Silverfiddle, I have enough freaking brains not to carry loaded firearms ino Mexico.
Deleteyes Ducky you are so smart. So much so that you already formed your verdict without knowing the whole story. Good thing you aren't a defense attorney
DeleteYeah well they already lost face and I don't believe the state dept can take all if any credit
ReplyDeleteLisa, as much as you wish not to recognize it Ducky is VERY likely correct.
ReplyDeleteIs your Obama Derangement Syndrome so great it has you unable to see reality?
Come on Lisa, you're smarter than that.
Rational Nation, if you are going to be two faced, please at least make one of them pretty.!!!
DeleteFirst I am not two faced. I simply have the ability to see both sides of any position and am capable of choosing what the stronger argument is.
DeleteSecond, I don't personalize every thing like the extreme Tea Pee'ers do.
Third, pretty I never claimed to be. That is for you TPC.
Seeing this admin in action RN,I have to err on the side of I believe the public outcry and the efforts of Greta Van Susteren and Montel Williams was the motivation to get this release and to get the State dept to act,if in fact they did
DeleteThat's exactly what Freethinke says, Lisa.
DeleteIt's as if you are one in the same.
Obama NOT taking credit for something right before an election? What's the likelihood of THAT?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Thank God for YOU, as always!
DeleteYou know just how to call 'em better than anyone else I know, FJ, and I've long noticed that unlike my occasionally incensed self you NEVER let the bastards get you down.
BRAVO! Good Show!
Exactly. That the resident libratds believe otherwise is stunning. But what else is new.
DeleteSo speaketh the conservatard, er, conservaturd that is.
DeleteWell I am finally back on line following some pretty serious computer hacking problems. Hopefully they are all cleared up.
ReplyDeleteMy video blog posting today concerns liberalism and how it is destroying our society. Liberalism is like a cancer that once it takes hold, it metastasizes to every aspect of our lives growing ever more pernicious as time goes by. If we do not stop it, the United States most of us grew up in, will cease to exist.
We must act by going to the polls and and act now without further delay , the longer we procrastinate in our repentance, the darker America is becoming. We are quickly running out of time
Sounds like your problem is you're a disgruntled elderly religious white dude who sees your world slipping away and you don't like it much.
DeleteSuggested reading, everything you can get your hands on written by our liberal founding fathers. Especially Thomas Jefferson.
HALLELUJAH! THANK GOD! HALLELUJAH!
ReplyDeleteSOMETHING HAS GONE RIGHT AT LONG LAST.
REJOICE GIVE THANKS AND SING!
Any OTHER response to this great good news is SPECTACULARLY INEPT and TOTALLY ILL-ADVISED.
I am APPALLED at the stupidly COMBATIVE tone taken by the usual suspects -- I'm sure I DON'T need to mean THEIR names, do I?
Either REJOICE and be GLAD or STFU! Nobody needs your negative BS.
Diplomacy is slow but the results very satisfying.
DeleteIndeed rejoice.
And drop your BS.
FT good call,they were rejoicing when the deserter was traded for 5 Taliban Captins
DeleteCANADA HAS IT FIGURED OUT.
ReplyDeleteI'm Glad as hell!
ReplyDeleteThis administration did NOTHING TO AFFECT THIS RELEASE! THEY LEFT HIM BEHIND!!!
ReplyDeleteYada, yada, yada and bla, bla, bla.

DeleteOzulu, good one Freethinke.
DeleteHow I loathe obama and all those that voted for that fool
ReplyDeleteGet a life dude, time is running out.

Rohrabacher: Obama was ‘AWOL’
ReplyDeletein efforts to free Tahmooressi
Washington Times, by Kellan Howell
A group of politicians’ efforts to secure the release of Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican jail paid off Friday night. California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher says President Obama was “AWOL” throughout the process. The Republican Congressman told The Washington Times on Saturday that he and California Republican Rep. Ed Royce, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, and Arizona Republican Rep. Matt Salmon took it upon themselves to fight for Mr. Tahmooressi when President Obama did not. “The president, who is also the commander in chief, didn’t do his job,” Mr. Rohrabacher said. ...
Not surprising FT. His preferences of expedience is the tell all.

DeleteWhen the Tbaggers say that Illegal Aliens are Taking Jobs away from American citizen, that’s a load of crapola! It’s a fallacy, a misconception, meant to be programed into the minds of the rich, old, white republican’s by Faux Nooz!
ReplyDeleteI should know, I work with immigrants who are learning English as a second language. Most of our students are from Mexico, Columbia, and Latin America. They are delightful people, who come here to better their lives. And further, they do not take jobs away from American’s. These are jobs that Americans simply won’t do. American’s don’t want to get their Lilly White hands dirty anymore. These people that I work with range from teen-agers to young men. They are all dedicated and earnest in wanting to learn English, Yes perhaps some of them have had troubled lives and had to result to Illegal activities, but most of them are wonderful, and delightful people.
President Obama's executive order (the DREAM Act), is nothing more than a immigration reform bill that would allow these young immigrants a path to citizenship, that was stalled in the Senate by that TBagger Marco Rubio!!
The decline of America began many years ago, under the Bush administration. You can’t blame Mr. Obama for everything that George Bush got us into.
Lets not forget that these fringie right-wingers hoped that Obama would fail BEFORE he was even sworn into office. Did those fringe elements think about what a failed presidency would do to this country? A failed presidency would mean a failure in all areas that affect men, women, and children. It's an extreme position, but the fact is that many people hoped for failure. It's not far fetched to believe people who hate in that extreme would welcome a medical crisis so that their dreams of a failed presidency would be complete.
But that will not happen.
Faux Nooz is really playing their dense viewers like a cheap violin
------> Katharine Fartburn
The man to blame for America’s mess and what’s happening in Syria, and Iraq is not President Obama it’s George Bush.
ReplyDeleteObama inherited a badly damaged country, both economically and morally, and did what he felt was right to bring the country out of that.
We all know it was all Bush's doing and FOUX NEWS may try, but will never change the facts or history.
And you are what's known as an illiterate redneck.
DeleteOh poor Obama . Nothing is ever his fault . This is what happens when you vote for someone who clearly wasn't up for what the job actually required,not just speeches about hope and change.
DeleteWhat a joke
Anon, illiterate red neck would most certainly be you.
DeleteOh yeah, and Rust Bucket Shackleford.
Anon, illiterate red neck would most certainly be you.
DeleteSeriously, dude, do you have ANYTHING in your repertoire besides "I know you are but what am I"?
Rusty Shackelford wants to know if you passed high school English.
DeleteSince you're the self proclaimed grammar king how about one example of a mistake. A wrong term: wrong prefix or suffix: a wrong anything. The next one you ever uncover will be your first.
DeleteYou can't. Why? Because you are nothing but hot air. An empty suit. A blatherskite.
It's no wonder you worship this worthless "president". Two unfortunate peas in the same dismal pod.

ReplyDeleteBut then again, what else would you expect from these far, left wing radical extremists, who call the Tea-Parties those stupid names? This clown and his cohorts ore the scum of this great nation.
There was a time when you could agree to disagree with the Democrats but that was before Obama came into the picture. Now all the extreme lefties are crawling out from under their rocks and showing their true colors.
This is how ALL democRATS really are!

THE MOOCHER OR THE PIG IN A PANT SUIT CLINTON, WHO”S WORSE?
ReplyDelete1. “I remember landing under sniper fire,” she said in Washington on Monday. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
2. Clinton said Chelsea had gone on “what she thought was going to be a great jog. She was going to go down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She went to get a cup of coffee and, and, that’s when the plane hit.” (Chelsea the Talking Horse was 12 blocks away)
3. Hillary Clinton Claimed she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.
Now those were some real whoppers but it appears that Moocher, the Beast from Chicago, can whip up some good ones to. Lying must be a liberal trait ingrained in their DNA.
: “Michelle Obama campaigned in a “Get Out the Vote” event for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and Rep. Cheri Bustos. Obama said 10 million new jobs have been created in Illinois in recent years.
“And we are here to keep this state in the right direction,” she said to thunderous applause. “And this state is leading the nation in job creation.” (Actually Texas, under Gov Rick Perry’s leadership, is.)
Well just DAMN! If the DOJ was not so corrupted to their core, then they would be investigating illegal child labor in Illinois because the state only has 12.8 million residents! Maybe the Moocher was counting all of the illegal aliens in Illinois, working there illegally, taking job that they don’t rate away from real Americans.
What makes the below picture so funny is that American turncoat Dick “Turban” Durban, a liar and scumbag himself, is laughing and clapping right along with the bullshit The Moocher is spewing. Liberals truly ARE the filth of the planet.
Maybe The Moocher should stick to stuffing lobster tails and Kobe beef down her maw along with taking expensive vacations that we pay for because that is what the leech is best at! It sure as Hell isn’t good at designing kid’s lunches or spewing bullshit.
Poppycock and poo poo.
DeleteHummm, The Moocher, or the Pig in a Pant Suit?
ReplyDeleteThat is a real hard choice, they are both Stinkin Lying Pigs.
Dear republicans, How proud you must be feeling today about your childish blogs and comments these days. I'd tell you how I really feel about them, but I'm still a Lady, and i won't lower myself to your standards.!
ReplyDeleteWell, since we are on our way to a HUGE victory tomorrow we certainly are. Sucks to be you though.
DeleteIt's bad luck to count your chickens before they're hatched, Rusty.
DeleteIF we have good reason to gloat on Wednesday, we shall sage a regular old GLOATFEST at my Blog. But, because D'Rats regularly lie, cheat, steal, and even kill to win elections [FACT not ASSERTION] -- and the Republicans ALWAYS let them GET AWAY with it, I don't dare be optimistic.
I am HOPEFUL, however.
Just wish I could believe a win for "our" side would make a REAL difference.
Why do you always show up right after Radical Redneck?
DeleteCan't you tell time Duck?
Deletewho cares what you feel about them.Childish? The only one who is childish is President O. He acts like the biggest baby.
