“Judging from barry’s utter disdain for anything military, I highly doubt it.”
That’s not what I was referring to, the prisoner. Barry could care less about the Marine, but he was starting to get lots of bad PR on TV, in particular from O’Reilly and Fox, as well as having high profile Senators involved such as Rubio and Bill Nelson, etc. Secretary Hillary Clinton was getting flack as well. The silence from the White House was making Obama look bad. That’s the reason he acted. Because of the bad publicity, and he had to act fast, as the hue and cry was to get the Marine home before Christmas. Thus I see bribery to get the Mexican gov’t to grease the wheels with the cartel to get the Marine released. The cartel wouldn’t do it, IMO, without being paid off to do so. Hence my previous comment, which I believe to be correct.
You may be right
But a lot of work went on behind the scenes including your fellow FReepers.
I thank them and everyone for working together for this.
God bless all
Latino nations do have traditions of amnesties around Christmas time so this was the best time for Jon Hamer's people to really push the issue. Useless idiots at the State Department could care less....they are too busy organizing LGBT Christmas parties. Hillary figured -- "Screw him he's a gun nut"
Thanks Bill O'Reilly for shaming this cast of idiots into taking action
