Never a word from the Obama regime about Venezuela's threat to invade Honduras and restore Chavez crony and fellow usurper Zelaya to power, but there is no lack of volume in Obama’s actions. Instead of facing Venezuela with a palm turned “stop,” Obama is pointedly walking away. AP headline: “U.S. halts military operations with Honduras to protest coup.”
This is not just some planned military exercise that has been cancelled. Honduras is a close military ally and a base of operations for the United States in Central America. We will continue to use our bases, but as of now, the Hondurans are on their own.
Obama knows better than anyone that the arrest of Zeyala was completely legal and was not a coup
When AP calls the military arrest of Zeyala a “coup,” they are just following Obama, but the Obama regime was fully informed all along of the details of Zeyala's attempted usurpation and fought vigorously to forstall his arrest:
The official, who spoke on the condition that he not be named, said the U.S. Embassy in Honduras was “consistently and almost constantly engaged in the last several weeks working with partners” and that U.S. officials were “in contact with all Honduran institutions, including the military.”
What were the Hondurans telling Obama? That the Honduran constitution REQUIRED the arrest of a president who tries to engineer a second term, and that it specifically empowers the Honduran Supreme Court to issue to the Honduran military an arrest warrant in such a case. Honduran Supreme Court justice Rosalinda Cruz describes how Zeyala had already started illegally shutting down checks and balances and how his arrest was immediately necessary to stop him from usurping the Honduran democracy:

This is unreal.
and Krauthammer is worried about Sarah Palin's foreign policy expertise? I'm sure that Sarah would have gotten this one right from the getgo.
Baby Hugo is going to look like an even bigger buffoon wearing that Che’ beret with his Che’ T-shirt.
Paper Tiger Obama Osama
He will rue the day that he lets Chavez invade a sovereign country.
So Saddam attacked Kuaitt and we went in and helped the Kuaitt people.
Will 0 help if Chevy attacks another country? I’m guessing chevy would lose in a fair fight anyway.
Wouldn’t in be interesting if a unknown group took out Chavez’s oil facilities?
I’m a pretty good shot. If they’ll fly me down I’ll help fight for Honduras... I might need a translator though...
We all know what’s driving this.
Obama laid down the law and Honduras acted in accordance with their constitution.
Obama is furious and will do anything to get even, even if that damages U. S. strategic standing.
This guy is a real son of a bitch.
If Honduras gets invaded, and Obama sits on his ass, he may end up with a little military coup of his own.
And if the media fails to cover this for what it is, it is high time we start labeling the media as an enemy of the United States, and start taking appropriate corrective actions.
When America’s lamp of freedom goes dark, the world turns into chaos.
Yes! Literally.
Hussein The Inept is going to get a lot of Americans and allies killed
Obozo can “tease the dragons tail” of the citizens just so long.
Eventually, he will not like the reaction when it comes.
“This is unreal.”
It sure is, but the “electorate” loves democrats and they’ll probably elect more of them.
IMHO
Failure to abide by treaty obligations is a great way to start a general war.
Wow, the lengths some chicago thugs will go to in order to keep their supply of cocaine flowing.
Paper Tiger would presume that Obama is going to feign some kind of opposition to Chavez invading Honduras. I'm not so sure that Obama wouldn't help, at least with logistical support. And, I also wouldn't be surprised if Obama helped craft a UN resolution supporting what Chavez would do.
I used to think Obama was a socialist. Now, I'm fairly confident that he's a Marxist, just like his little buddy Hugo.
Tuesday November 4, 2008. A day that will live in infamy.
