That's right. They are retaliating for the U.S. 'Fast And Furious' program that allowed arms to be trafficked into Mexico. This is a terrible situation unfolding for the patriotic Marine who swore to a oath to defend this country against enemies foreign and domestic. It's time for Obama or Hillary to go public and personally get involved to apply pressure to the Mexican government to get Hammar out of that cesspool.
Chained to his bed.
Letter from Mexican ambassador dampens hope for release of U.S. Marine... Obama STILL Silent... | RedFlagNews.com
The two-page missive from Mexican Ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan to Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), who has been aggressively advocating for Hammar's release, leaves little hope of a diplomatic solution. In it, Sarukhan takes a thinly veiled swipe at the U.S., blaming it for gun proliferation south of the border.
"As you know well, Mexico has had very stringent gun-control laws in place for many years, and have reinforced their application as a result of the flow of weapons illicitly purchased in the U.S. and then trafficked into Mexico and into the hands of transnational criminal organizations," Sarukhan wrote.
Hammar has been stuck in a notorious, drug cartel-controlled prison just 15 miles south of the U.S. border since Aug. 13, after he crossed into Mexico and declared an antique shotgun to Mexican customs officials.
