“OCCUPANT OF OVAL OFFICE” DID NOTHING TO STOP PHYSICAL, MENTAL ABUSE OF COMBAT VETERAN

(Nov. 7, 2014) — If you watched Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, USMC interview with Greta Van Susteren, no matter how tough you are, it will break your heart. Sgt. Tahmooressi is a “heroic” US Marine, with two combat tours of duty in Afghanistan. He and his fellow Marines had been fighting for every American. Sgt. Tahmooressi was moving back to San Diego so he could be treated for PTSD at the San Diego VA Hospital; all his belongings were in his truck, including his three weapons.
Sgt. Tahmooressi made an “INNOCENT MISTAKE” and took a wrong turn at night in San Diego where there were no lighted signs, and he ended up in Mexico. He explained to the Mexican Border Guards that he made a wrong turn, explained he had all his personal belongings, including three weapons in the back of his truck, and asked for directions back to San Diego. He was then manhandled by Mexican police and incarcerated for 214 days by the Mexican government, a government with double standards.
The Mexican government has been encouraging thousands of illegal aliens to “INTENTIONALLY” violate US federal immigration laws and has supported over 20 million illegal aliens in “INTENTIONALLY” crossing the border “by foot;” it continues to promote the violation of US immigration laws because, for the last six years, they’ve received a wink and a nod from Obama who by his policies of preventing ICE from deporting illegal aliens, approves and encourages their illegal crossing into the US.
Yet when just “ONE” heroic US Marine makes an “INNOCENT MISTAKE” by crossing the Mexican border at San Diego, openly driving in his truck at night with headlights on, not by sneaking into Mexico on foot as millions of Mexicans cross into the US every year, resulted in Sgt. Tahmooressi’s being put in Mexican prisons where he was mentally abused and tortured by prison guards while still suffering from PTSD (I made the same innocent mistake during daylight hours while in San Diego near the Mexican border; when I showed the US Border Patrol my Federal Law Enforcement Officer’s badge and asked to be allowed to turn around at the border, they told me I would have to continue south, there wasn’t any place for them, so I had to continue into Mexico to be able to turn around and head back into the US). Recently, because of what happened to Sgt. Tahmooressi, the State of California corrected the signage, modified the entry roads at the border to allow a turnaround in order to prevent others from doing what Sgt. Tahmooressi and I did—-when we “INNOCENTLY and MISTAKENLY” entered Mexico.
The torturous incarceration and mental abuse that followed for Sgt. Tahmooressi over a seven-month period was unconscionable. He suffered consistent beatings by Mexican prison guards with sticks and their hands, was forced to his knees facing the wall, was forced to face abuse and threats from Mexican criminals in jails with him who said they were hiring a “hit man” who would kill him (those abusive threats continued for 214 days); he was stripped naked and forced to stand thru the night, forced to remain in his cell naked with no blankets at night to keep him warm, was handcuffed by his legs and wrists in a four-point restraint without the ability to properly go to the bathroom. The prison guards laughed at Sgt. Tahmooressi’s attempts to relieve himself while handcuffed by his wrist and leg, even though those beating him and laughing at him had less of an IQ than Sgt. Tahmooressi. For Obama to allow those mental abuses and torturous practices to be visited upon a heroic combat US Marine by the Mexican government is disgusting. What would the Mexican government do if the US Immigration Service tortured even one of the millions of illegal aliens in the US as Sgt. Tahmooressi was tortured?
The occupant of the Oval Office did nothing to help a heroic combat US Marine while he was being mentally abused, threatened, and tortured for 214 days, even when the US Consul in Mexico knew Sgt. Tahmooressi was suffering from PTSD as a result of his combat service in defense of the Republic. The Obama administration was informed by the US Consul in Mexico that out of desperation and in an attempt to escape the torturous incarceration, Sgt. Tahmooressi tried to escape from prison. The US Consul also informed the Obama administration that three days after his escape from prison failed, in order to escape the continued torture and mental abuse, Sgt. Tahmooressi tried to commit suicide by cutting his neck with a broken florescent light bulb and that he nearly bled to death. Yet Obama did absolutely nothing. Finally, just before the election, a judge in a Mexican Court released Sgt. Tahmooressi because Mexico had no way to treat PTSD. Anyone who watched the first ten minutes of the interview by Greta Van Susteren of Sgt. Tahmooressi would have been aware that the US Marine is obviously suffering from PTSD. The US Consul must have determined that 214 days ago and would have relayed that to the Obama administration.
The same occupant of the Oval Office who not only refused to help a US Marine for over seven months also refused to execute “Cross Border Authority” during the Battle of Benghazi, so the Pentagon was unable to dispatch fighter aircraft that were only two hours away in Sigonella, Italy. American personnel on the ground in Benghazi, under attack by over 125 Al Qaeda terrorists for eight hours, pleaded for military reenforcements, yet Obama still refused for eight hours to issue “Cross Border Authority.” The result was that two former US Navy SEALs were murdered by Al Qaeda terrorists (the US Ambassador had been captured and murdered, and a Communications Specialist had been murdered by Al Qaeda terrorists during the first hour of the attack). If you are a US Marine or a US Navy SEAL, don’t expect the occupant in the Oval Office to help you, if you get in trouble.
During the same seven-month period that Sgt. Tahmooressi was in a cage in a Mexican prison, Obama exchanged a soldier who deserted in the face of the enemy in Afghanistan for five of the most dangerous terrorists incarcerated in Gitmo; that traitorous deserting soldier remained with the enemy for five years, while Sgt Tahmooressi returned to Afghanistan to serve a second combat tour of duty heroically. Those five dangerous terrorists are now in support of ISIL’s fight in Iraq, along with other Al Qaeda terrorists Obama released from Gitmo. We have also received unconfirmed reports that the Obama administration paid the Taliban a substantial sum of money as a ransom payment for releasing of that dishonorable “Army Deserter.” Any soldier who deserts his unit in the face of the enemy should be either jailed or executed.
What would President Ronald Reagan have done on his watch if a US Marine with PTSD was improperly incarcerated for over seven months, was mentally abused and tortured by the Mexican Prison Guards? Would he have picked up the phone and called the Mexican president and convinced him to release the US Marine? The nation and 23 million US military Veterans were shamed by the way the occupant of the Oval Office allowed an honorable combat US Marine with PTSD who made an “INNOCENT MISTAKE” to be locked up in a cage in a Mexican prison for seven months, tortured, and mentally abused while he twisted in the wind because of his abandonment by the occupant in the Oval Office.
The Combat Veterans For Congress honor Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, USMC, for his service in defense of the Republic. We—all US Marines–and all Americans, are so very proud of Sgt. Tahmooressi for how he courageously faced his horrible torturous incarceration in a Mexican prison and trust that his mental abuse at the hands of Mexican prison guards and his PTSD suffered from two combat tours of duty in Afghanistan will finally receive proper medical attention and treatment in a US hospital.
Semper Fi.

“Armed” Marine Calls Out Obama in Front of White House on Election Night
http://madworldnews.com/marine-obama-election-night/?fb_ref=Default&fb_source=message
As we witnessed in the bombastic and self-aggrandizing Cecil B. DeMille-esque Hollywood backdrop for the first Obama nomination at the Democratic National Convention (the only thing lacking was Gloria Swanson descending a staircase asking for a close-up), Barry-O is a symbolist:
A deserter turned Muslim convert is released in return for evil terrorist bigwigs.
Symbolism: America is a Dhimmi of the Islamic State albeit the Islamic Triumphalism over the American Republic.
Tahmorressi, a Christian and a patriot, is left to rot.
The Symbolism is the same!
Barry’s NON-AMERICAN, NON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN Worldview is promoted while the traditional is demoted and denigrated.
This, again, is ISLAMIC TRIUMPHALISM. (Nota bene: Walid Shoebat states that HIS evidence is that Obama is far from being a “Christian” but is, rather, a Sunni who promotes the Caliphate under the guise of “duly-elected president.”
That is Islamic deceit to promote the Islamic World view: TAQIYYA.
This is the product of a VERY SICK and NERO-like psyche.
Additional examples are myriad (such as covering up the cross when Barry Spoke at Georgetown University).
CNS News reported that it was a SPECIFIC REQUEST from the White House to cover up the “IHS” which stands for JESUS, being an abbreviation of the Greek form for His name).
Barry Hussein “Soebarkah” Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, IS being exposed.
It will be a nasty wake-up call for those who love Liberty, but will be hardly a surprise for the informed, such as the readers of THE POST EMAIL.
