What the hell happened to leaving no man behind? I had actually forgotten about this guy, but to my dismay, I heard last night that we STILL have not done anything to free this man.

This man risked it all and helped us out. He can be credited for aiding in us getting Osama bin Laden. And what do we do in return why he sits in prison, being tortured? NOTHING.

What the hell do you think that says to other potential aid? Why the hell would they or should they risk a damn thing to help us if this is how we repay them?!?!

To hell with you Obama, and every other politician who has done NOTHING to help set this man free!!!

Heroic doctor Shakil Afridi who helped CIA get Bin Laden speaks of prison treatment | Mail Online

But I guess after we saw what happened to our men in Benghazi, perhaps we shouldnt be shocked. We even let down our own Americans and dont give them the help they need, letting them die. I am so friggin sick of Washington. So concerned with their own bs, their own political future, screw everyone else.

Sooo....what exactly should we do?

Should we-invade a nuclear armed country, killing who knows how many folks?

Should we-send in seal team six for a daring rescue from a prison?

Should we-put pressure behind the scenes to get this man a new trial in which he gets a sentence thats time served?

Hmmm....reading the news (2 days ago he got a new hearing) it seems like something is going on. But heres the thing-he is one of their citizens, not an American one.

What if we captured Snowden, should the soviet union come here after him to rescue him?

Being a international bully will not be to our long term benefit.

We dont do NOTHING! This guy is our own as far as Im concerned. We do everything we can, short of war, to get him free. This guy risked his life to help get Osama. And we havent done a thing for him. I havent heard anything in Obama's dumb speeches calling for his release.

This has nothing to do with being a bully. You dont leave your own behind. And he is our own in my back for what he did. Not only that, think about what this says to others that have opportunity to risk their lives to do something good. Why the hell would they if we do nothing for them?

Obama will have him transferred to gitmo soon I'm sure. I mean they don't want him to talk after all about the entire BS raid and tossing of binny into the ocean. What a joke I still can't believe anybody believes that nonsense. Just shows how lost the nation is.

I see no liberals give a rip. Not a shock. They would probably love to keep gitmo open just for this guy the hypocrites. It's just unbelievable.

Lay off guys! Obama is on his annual taxpayer funded golf vacation to Hawaii for the next 17 days. He'll deal with this stuff when he gets back.

You do realize that Obama is from Hawaii. So what is your problem with him spending Christmas there with his family And I'm sure you also realize that a president is never on vacation.
