#8  It's Amateur Hour at the White House and at State.

Events like this will become more common and get further out of control the longer we have Obama at the helm.

#7  In other words, "they" shot first and asked questions later.

It took them 40 days to admit their blunder:

As it turns out, the U.S. Senate can't find any legal reason why the Honduran Supreme Court's refusal to let Zelaya stay in office beyond the time allowed by Honduran law constitutes a "military coup."

#3  "What the f*ck were you thinking when you backed Zelaya in the first place"?

Well, when you rely upon the AP for making foreign policy rather than read the country's own constitution and dailies, you're likely to stick your paw into poop. Don't expect the 'experts' at State to learn from this.

#1  Great. Can State now answer the question of "What the f*ck were you thinking when you backed Zelaya in the first place"?
