Sgt. Tahmooressi finally released...

[mamatutu]

"A Mexican judge on Friday ordered the immediate release of a Marine held behind bars since April 1 on weapons charges..

Lawyers for Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, 25, a reservist who served two deployments to Afghanistan, had argued that his arrest at the San Ysidro border was improper and that he needs immediate treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder from his combat experiences."

Im glad to see him out but this whole situation is a national disgrace. Pres Obama is a worthless excuse for a commander in chief when he cant even negotiate the release of this man. We can trade gitmo terrorists for a questionable soldier run awol but cant negotiate this guy out pronto. Its despicable. Id have told Mexico if he wasn't released the next day Id seal the border with the rest of our infantry and ship every damn illegal in this country back over there along with half our damn prison population. Or better yet order an armored division to blast the rio grande and forcibly rescue him, bulldozing any resistance encountered enroute and leveling the prison on the way out. Of course Im going overboard, but this country has gotten too damn soft and is run by a bunch of politically correct pansies anymore.

Any pictures of him back home yet? Not believing it until I see it.. this headline 3 days before the election?

I saw a bunch of pictures of him getting off a charter jet with his mother, Bill Richardson, and a couple of others. Greta Van Sustern (who almost single-handedly kept the story alive while the rest of the media wanted to bury it) has an exclusive interview upcoming with the Sgt. and his mother soon...not sure if its today though.


It was a couple of Republican Congressman, and former Gov. Bill Richardson, that did all the heavy lifting over the last months to get this resolved. President Empty Suit apparently never lifted a finger or made a phone call.
