Via Gateway Pundit. I understood The One’s logic for not wanting to meddle in Iran. I don’t understand his logic for wanting to meddle in Honduras.

This is really stupid. Obama’s interference means that the next time one of these socialist basket case regimes gets overthrown the new leadership will kill the deposed leader instead of just deporting him. Capitalism is more important than democracy, and peace is more important than either. Obama should recognize the new regime.

Wimps look for easy targets to push around so they can portray themselves as decisive. Obama can't stand up to Chavez, Iran or N Korea gotta find somebody.

The ousted Prez. in Honduras is a power-grabbing commie like Chavez, Castro, and Obambi.

The "coup" is a good thing, and is not even a coup. It was ordered by the Honduras Supreme Court and Congress (basically an impeachment).

The guy the army took out was trying to get a Chavez-style referendum through.

No, the military and courts were trying to avoid a chavez takeover.

Simple.

In Honduras an individual supported by Chavez and Castro was trying to illegally extend and grab power. The Obamanation supported him.

In Iran, people are trying to throw off tyranical silamic rulers. Obama odes not believe he should meddle in that affair.

No wonder Obambi was on the side of the despot.

“The Honduran army ousted and exiled leftist President Manuel Zelaya on Sunday in Central America’s first military coup since the Cold War, triggered by his bid to make it legal to seek another term in office.”

Because the news of this illegal addendum and the people’s reaction would upset his plans to try it here.

He’s afraid of Ahmanutjob and Ahama is smarter and can speak
more eloquently.

Ahama doesn’t need a teleprompter either. IMO

Do a Google on “honduras cocaine” and see that Honduras was and remains a crucial transit point in the wholesale cocaine trade.

Just as Haiti was (is?) under the Congressional Black Caucus invasion by Bill Clinton.

And don’t forget Charlie Rangel’s beach hideaway next door to Haiti in the Dominican Republic.

http://m3report.wordpress.com/2009/06/04/cocaine-seizures-in-honduras-increase-dramatically/

El Heraldo (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) 6/3/09

The rain of white powder that falls from above is not snow or heavenly manna, it’s part of the cocaine that the drug cartels pass through Honduras without major problem. The passage of narcotics across the country – be it by air, land or sea – is producing terrifying sequels of violence. According to an annual report of the “Ministerio Público”, 55 kilos were seized in 2005, 2,714 in 2006, 1,704 in 2007, 6,764 in 2008 and in 2009 the tally is already at 6,655 kilos. The increase in seizures is not a result of higher efficiency by the anti-drug personnel but, in some cases, of the misfortune of the pilots who have crashed in various areas of the country. Some national leaders fear that at this pace, Honduras will soon become a “narcostate.”
