Is this what our county has come to?

We let members of our military rot in foreign prisons with out so much as lifting a finger in protest?

    The media are not reporting it and his skin tone is not dark enough for the President to care.

    I really wish you guys would quit calling the "a-hole" a president. He's our self-anointed dictator. I always try to call 'em like I see 'em, and owebama does not deserve the respect of the office.

    I think the public pressure has forced the Mexicans to move him to a better prison....I listened to the guy last night talk about how much better he now has it compared to the situation he was previously in. I would like to think that our leaders are working behind the scenes to get him out as by doing so it could make POTUS look a bit better than he looks with the "other" deal. But who know with the "gang that can't shoot straight" making the decisions in DC. But if I had to bet I would think the guy will be home by the end of this month....somehow we have to create a situation where the Mexicans can save some face and we get the guy home....wonder if POTUS can figure that out[?][;)]

    Let me have a division of infantry & some armor and I could get him back tomorrow. Just drive south with a scorched earth policy & stop outside Mexico City. Give the crooks in power 5 mins to give him up. This is something that's been needed for along time. Mexico has been a thorn in our side for a century. Never been an allie, and always allowed spies to use our porous border to gain Intel. Hell, they still teach they're kids that we "STOLE" the southwest from them & one day they intend to take it back. Nothing more than the next door neighbor from hell!

    It saddens me that we allow the crooks, thieves, and gang members to do as they please with no repercussions. I know several "older" ex-Mexicans and they hate these deadbeats as much as I do. They came here to be Americans, not hyphenated jerks. They put the time & effort in, abided by immigration laws, and learned the language. Most won't even allow Mexican to be spoken in their homes & their kids grew up just as we did. Call me a racist or whatever floats your boat, but these are the kinds of people we need. Not La Reza nincompoops who promote tax evasion, criminal alien invasion, & the like.

    The Marine's mother has a petition up and all you need is 10,000 signatures, she's for over 100,000 and Obama is still blowing her off.
