Obama's Unusual Foreign Policy
Hot Air ^ | 06/29/2009 | Ed Morrissey

The military then handed power back to the legislature rather than keeping it for themselves, which makes this less of a coup and more of a military impeachment.

It's not even that. Not even close to that. This author doesn't seem to have a brain.

“It’s difficult to make sense out of the foreign policy coming out of the White House under Barack Obama.”

Not really. It’s in our face. His comrades are dictators and with mr. obama it is a priority to protect and advance the cause of marxism and diminish freedom.

Ed Morrissey, seems a bit confused:
"It’s difficult to make sense out of the foreign policy coming out of the White House under Barack Obama."
Communists support Communists along with Communist puppet states. Zero does exactly what one would expect of him.

The Honduran military removed the would-be dictator at the request of the Honduran supreme court.

Spengler, as always, right on the spot:

Obama’s continuing obsession with America's supposed misdeeds - deplorable but necessary actions in time of war - is consistent with his determination to erode America's influence in the most troubled parts of the world. By removing America as a referee, he will provoke more violence than the United States ever did. We are entering a very, very dangerous period as a result.
