"You have no idea wtf our government is doing behind the scenes in this matter."You Monday morning QB's crack me up. You have no intel regarding this case. Obviously Obama and his Admin does. Obama has been the greatest advocate of soldiers in presidential history but he's also fair and level headed. Here's the official administration response. Keep in mind the guy is not being tortured or threatened with execution like soldiers would be overseas. It's a fair and balanced response.
Show me where they are doing something and I'll show you where the only thing they are capable of is wasting our money.
A five minute phone call would likely bring this guy home. He could do that from his presidential limo parade on the way to the golf course. Originally Posted by boardman
“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,” the White House said in an official response Friday.
The Obama administration said that while specifics can’t be discussed, Secretary of State John Kerry and other U.S. officials have spoken to Mexican officials at the highest levels regarding Sgt. Tahmooressi’s case.
“Mexican authorities have been very willing to engage on this issue. They have provided prompt and continued consular access and visitations,” the statement continued. “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.”
