Hmm, they back Zelaya, but Niger’s President has gone too far?

We are so screwed.

[parsifal]

The durn Chinese will start colonizing Africa one of these years.

[penelopesire]

Obama meddling again.

Why is it that democrat presidents always want to involve our troops in wars in Africa..where we have no strategic or national security interests?

[Eric Blair 2084]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue from Africa.

[Slump Tester]

I think this headline is exceptionally racist.

[TigersEye]

I thought 0bowdown supported leaders undermining the rule of law? He seemed to be supporting that in Iran and he came right out and said so about Zelaya.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Will Obama make up his mind?

Tandja responded to the rejection by Niger's highest court of his plan to seek at least another three years in power by sacking the judges and naming a new Cabinet.

Niger's main opposition leader, Mahamadou Issoufou, the runner-up to Tandja in elections in 1999 and 2004, was briefly detained on Tuesday after calling for the military to disobey orders.

Uhhhh, that's almost exactly what Zelaya did. Slightly different actions but it's a different country.

Is Zer0 still snorting coke or what?

[rabscuttle385]

Obama? Rule of law? Hahahahaha.

[PghBaldy]

Niger is where Joe Wilson sipped tea and the opposition appears to be a socialist (though sometimes foreign political parties’ names are confusing).

[True Republican Patriot]

Its clear that Zaleya of Hondoras contributed far more to Obozo’s Campaign Fund than the jerk from Nigeria did! Whats unfair about that?

An interesting detail from Wikipedia:

On 25 May 2009, the Constitutional Court, made up of appointed judges, released a ruling that any referendum to create a new constitution would be unconstitutional, and further would be a violation of the oath the president had taken on the Koran (a serious matter in Niger, which is overwhelmingly Muslim).

I think this administration doesn’t quite know what the hell is going on.

The U.S. government voiced concern on Wednesday over actions taken by Niger's President Mamadou Tandja to extend his rule in the West African country.

And not a damn thing to say about the nutjobs hanging people in Iran.

He’s moving fast after his major scew-up on Honduras before the press notices that our President came out last week favoring the concept of Presidency-for-Life in Latin America.

[Technogeeb]

The U.S. government voiced concern on Wednesday over actions taken by Niger's President Mamadou Tandja to extend his rule in the West African country.

Because national leaders can only get away with that sort of thing if they're supplying the State department with cocaine.

[GeronL]

Since I don’t trust Obie, I’m going with the Niger leader on this one... without seeing any details
