| Friend of Marine jailed in Mexico says he is growing increasingly 'despondent' |
| 2014-06-17 |
| [Fox] A friend who served with Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi in Afghanistan said the Marine’s mother is working with American officials to secure him a new lawyer after the family fired a second attorney last week, and that Tahmooressi is growing increasingly “despondent” behind bars. I hope and pray he doesn't take his own life. |

| #17 Next group of Mexican military that cross the border get lit up. Repeat until he's released. For quicker action, do not limit to their military. |

| #16 Perhaps if he had deserted, he'd be a higher priority. |

| #15 DHS is Obama's personal military. Any other branch is the enemy. |

| #14 Obama frankly does not care about him. |

| #13 Want Mexico to release him? Do these two things tomorrow and he will be out in a few days: all western union money transfers from US to Mexico to an escrow account until released. All flights from US to Mexico cancelled until he is released. Price will be way to high to keep him locked up. |

| #10 Reference #6: In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million illegal Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them! Presidents Hoover and Truman and conducted similar, orderly deportations as I recall. |

| #8 The Mexican Government doesn't care about the Fast and Furious deaths enough to actually want to fight Obama and Holder. Since Obama and Holder are on their side in selling out the country to them. So they'll fuck over some honorably discharged sergeant with a politically motivated trial while they ignore the people who actually committed the crimes. |

| #7 No, unfortunately it won't happen Rich. American exceptionalism, national sovereignty, and pride must be extinguished under a new wave of Hope and Change. Americans must be harnessed with guilt, embarrassed, and belittled; made to pay for our oppressive, colonial racist past. Our once mighty industrial capability must be moved offshore, our energy industry nationalized. Jobs must be eliminated and replaced with gov't subsidy, dependence, and control. The oppressors must pay, their property seized and redistributed accordingly. Those who cannot understand the regime's strategy and plan are the problem. Thankfully, they are growing old and will eventually die off. Few will remember the old ways. The 'new normal' will have arrived. |

| #5 #3, something like that almost happened once, when they moved a cav regiment to Fort Bliss. Let's just say, it took the officers to shut down the motor pool where some engines where already running. The sergeant is a pawn in a game. The Mexicans are mad with hundreds of deaths from Fast&Furious(tm DOJ). Maybe they want something. At this point, I don't think the WH is willing to ship Holder south. Maybe the next prez will honor an extradition request. |

| #2 Be a shame if the Mesicans woke up tomorrow morning and discovered the Ready Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division enjoying a cup of hot joe in dug positions around that nice new prison. |

| #1 Obama throws open the border to hordes of children, gang members, cartels, terrorists but he can't apply pressure on the Mexican government to get this Marine back. WTF? |
