In all this chatter about the “coup” in Honduras, the reality is that the Chavists in this country and in Latin America are getting ready to mount a coup, to impose a Chavist president on the Hondurans.
Zelaya was impeached and removed for his attempt to throw out the Honduran constitution. If only the Venezuelans had had the grit to do the same. Chavez threw out the Venezuelan constitution, fired the Supreme Court, and fired the congress all on the same day, and he did it from the podium on inauguration day. The congress and Supreme Court ought to have immediately in that moment ordered his arrest; instead they shrugged and cleaned out their desk drawers and went home. Thats how a dictator takes power, when good people shrug and let him.
Obama would be opposed to Chavez overthrow you can bet your house on that
VZ has much more military power than we think (Iran has been supplying them with tons of goodies) but I don’t think they’d dare attack unless they get the go-ahead from Obama. I was wondering if he’d try sending US troops into Honduras, where we already have a base, to try to restore the Commie Zelaya.
I hope not, but I think that might be his goal.
