“We call on all parties in Honduras to respect the constitutional order and the rule of law, to reaffirm their democratic vocation, and to commit themselves to resolve political disputes peacefully and through dialogue,” Clinton said in a statement.

I don't get it. The rule of law is that the guy be arrested as per Honduras supreme court and congress. So I'm not sure I see why Obama is upset over this. Unless he is upset that this means this also exposed his path to perpetual power as well (just take a vote on it and forget about the constitution).

Obama is upset because this was a socialist leader. And Obama is sympathetic to his ideas.

They could always go in through Nicaragua or El Salvador, but that would turn into a serious regional conflict.

The Honduran army is only doing what the American army will do if the Kenyan tries any funny business.

Exactly. Obama is scared shitless seeing his potential future flash before his eyes.

Don’t know about the F-5s, but Hugo’s F-16s are complete junk.

If I was in Honduras, I'd be more worried about these than the old F-16's....

“It’s up to Colombia and maybe Panama.”

Seeing as how the military in panama was abolished in late 89, I will admit to being interested in this.

One of the crazy things about the 100% change in US strategic priorities/posture, is that it is no longer even close to certain the US would prevent vz. military action.

“I never tow the hardcore Freeper line about Obama being in league with our enemies and openly selling our country out, but after his comments regarding Iran, and now Honduras, it appears some of the quacks are not very far off.”

The folks predicting the most dire non-apocalyptic results from Obama are looking far more prescient than quacks who predicted ‘meet the new boss, same as the old boss.’

So you control the air, but not the ground. How soon do you think all the planes would be shot down?

Honduras has one military air base with less than a dozen fighter planes from the 1960's and no surface to air missile capabilities to speak of. So how long before Hugo's Su-30's would be all shot down? Ummm..... Without direct assistance from the US, they'd be screwed.
