Hillary's Honduran Exit Strategy
Wall Street Journal ^ | NOVEMBER 1, 2009, 7:14 P.M. ET | MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY

Honduras signs a deal that means international recognition of the November 29 elections.

If there is one person in Honduras who is more despised these days than deposed president Manuel Zelaya it is a foreigner who goes by the name of Hugo. We refer here not to the Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez but to U.S. Ambassador Hugo Llorens.

This is an excellent article. Refreshing frankness about the exit strategy.

Does this mean no more intrigue, hardly. The bad boys want another Commie in Honduras. The people obviously want no part of it.

It is time for the U.S. and the OAS to butt out.

God bless Mr. Micheletti. God Bless Honduras.

Manuel Zelaya is a Commie and member of Sao Paulo Forum, along with Castro, Ortega, Lula, Chavez.

Our involvement makes a mess much worse. Compliments of Obozo and the State Department.

Honduras has always been a great ally.

another clue to understanding this mess.

“Did Obama bribe Brazil with $2 billion to help put Honduras’s Zelaya back into power?”

Hussein wants a leftist anti-American government in Honduras as much as Chavez and Castro do. Liberals only recognize antiAmerican governments as being legitimate. Pro-American governments make them uncomfortabls.

Compare and contrast this with the absurdly ridiculous, reality-defying Wash Post editorial entitled: "A win in Honduras - How the Obama administration outmaneuvered Hugo Chávez"

I read that article and it was a very stupid piece.

When will the MSM stop fawning over Obozo? When he is out of office.

And there will be no economic recovery until he is out of office.

I hope the very people in the media who brought us this jerk, go down with him.

What got me about the Post editorial was its complete and utter reversal of reality. Anyone who has been paying attention would know that. They think we are so stupid. To turn this into a “win” for the Obamoids against Hugo Chavez is to turn it on its head.

Hey, the WaPo piece is not entirely wrong. In their last paragraph, in which they scold Jim DeMint for blocking Thomas Shannon's confirmation as ambassador to Brazil, they conclude (boldface added):

Having recorded the Obama administration's biggest diplomatic success so far, Mr. Shannon ought to be allowed to take up his new post as ambassador to Brazil.

I am in awe. Zelaya, who could have been living a comfortable life in exile, instead will most likely end up in a Honduran can on corruption charges. Thanks to the intervention of Obama and Chavez and Hillary and the OAS!

When we defeat these cretin, how are we going to deal with the Traitors in the media that brought US here?

There aren’t enough notepads to keep track of all that share the blame.

Your point is correct. How can Obama win over Chavez when they are both on the same team? Both Commies and Both Traitors. Twins joined at the hip. And both incredibly arrogant.

Viva! Hounduras Viva! Libertad

Abajo los Dictadores!

From the song "Dice Are Rolling" in Evita:

PERON:
There again, we could be foolish
Not to quit while we're ahead,
For distance lends enchantment,
And that is why
All exiles are distinguished,
More important, they're not dead.
I could find job satisfaction
In Paraguay.

Paging Glenn Beck, paging Glenn Beck. Could we get a little expose on U.S. White House staff adviser Dan Restrepo and U.S. Ambassador Hugo Llorens? Exactly what kind of Marxist, Maoist far-left America hating radicals are these assclowns?
