The White House recently responded to the online petition to demand the release of U.S.M.C. Sgt. Tahmooressi, still sitting in a Mexican prison after 5 months and being completely ignored by his Commander In Chief.
As expected, Obama still refuses to do anything to help our Marine.
The U.S. State Department continues to provide extensive consular assistance to Mr. Tahmooressi, and will do so until his case is resolved. As in all cases when a U.S. citizen is arrested overseas, our goal is to see that Mr. Tahmooressi is treated fairly during the judicial process with the hope that he can receive the support, both emotional and medical, that he may require now and at the conclusion of the proceedings.
Mexico is one of the United States’ most important partners. We have close economic and cultural ties, and we work closely with them on numerous sensitive issues. While we will not go into detail about our private diplomatic discussions on this case, U.S. officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, have spoken to Mexican officials at the highest levels regarding Mr. Tahmooressi’s case.
Mexican authorities have been very willing to engage on this issue. They have provided prompt and continued consular access and visitations. As a result, the State Department has been able to provide regular updates on Mr. Tahmooressi’s condition to his family, Members of Congress, and the press.
We respect the rule of law and expect the judicial process of sovereign nations to protect other U.S. citizens who might find themselves in similar circumstances in the future. We will continue to monitor the case and work with the Mexican authorities as this case proceeds through the Mexican judicial system. We continue to urge the Mexican authorities to process this case expeditiously.
Of course this is all complete BS. Obama could simply demand the release of our Marine at any time. We gave Mexico $265 million in aid in 2013, and we can’t demand they help close the border and give us back our Marine?
“Private diplomatic discussions’? Of this I’m sure, Obama doesn’t want you to hear his private conversations where he tells his subordinates “We might do something about it next year.”
“We respect the rule of law” Uh, now is not the time to make jokes!
Sgt. Tahmooressi served his country honorably with 2 tours in Afghanistan and has been diagnosed with PTSD. He is now flat broke, having spent all his money on lawyers.
The Leathernecks Marine Corp Motorcycle Club of Central Florida is rallying to raise money to help Tahmooressi:

Let our Marines go get him
Gun running x marine should be in jail. Stupid if he was black or Hispanic none of you would care
Prime example to not enlist,becoming an expendable puppet for a sinister/wicked hidden agenda! “The 4th Branch”-Immortal Technique 🙁
Time has come for the U S Marines to return to the Halls of Montezuma.
So Mexico ignores our borders, their agents fire over into our land, our illegals send all their money back into the Mexican economy and we can’t put pressure on them to release our Marine? Bull! Some of their border agents crossed over onto US soil by accident, so the Mexicans said! The U.S. let them go! This president Obama does not want to close the borders so he can change the voter base . We depend on Mexico for what? No, they are corrupt government . We would do fine without anything from Mexico. All this rhetoric is BS.
Amen, Richard Baker….They should storm the region, send in special ops and get him/bring him back… However, with ISIS troops already in Mexico…perhaps they’re there to prevent just such a mission….and it would just be a suicide mission on our part. Our president and military personnel in control MUST do something… (They must be removed and someone else take over if not)

Perhaps we need to go down to Mexico and REMIND them what happened the last time they pissed off America.
Only this time, ain’t no diplomatic solution – it ends when the dons are DEAD.
