Well done, President Bush.” ?????

How do you figure well done?

I have always been a Bush supporter, but the last couple of years he has really fellenl off his high ground!

These two guys were not only left to rot for 3 years, but now by commuting instead of pardoning, they are left with the rest of their lives ruined.
Consider: As still felons they can never vote, exercise 2nd amendment rights, get a decent job, a passport or enjoy any of the freedoms they were endeavoring to protect.

If Bush had had the integrity to pardon them instead, they would get their lives back, except for the three years. The best that can be said for this is that it is a cowardly cop-out. Sucking up to the Mexican government should come second to standing by American citizens.

When The Obamanation cops out on American servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan we are going to holler “foul” -— why will that be any worse than this, except in degree and number of people betrayed?

First it wasn't 3 yrs, it was 2 yrs. Second I know for a fact that they can get their voting rights back, unless each state has a different law. Not sure about the rest of your statements though. Where did you get your facts?
