#1 Obama could still order our troops to work in conjunction with Venezuela and Nicaragua to enforce the mandates of the OSA and UN. I'm begining to believe our President is not well informed about who our friends are.

#2 BS. You back Honduras now or my backing for this government ceases. Back Israel as well. I do not play games with ignorance or bad policy that refutes law. Iran I put up with, this I shall not.

#3 Not sure how many of SOUTHCOM would obey that order,bman. Could be all sorts of treaty obligations that suddenly rear their ugly heads.

#4 Uphold and defend the constitution is all the Honduran Military did there - the Honrudan Supreme Court gave the Honduran Army the order to oust the lawbreaker ZeLiar for violating the Honduran constitution in contravention to Honduran Congress and the Honduran Supremes.

When will the dominant media tell the truth about this?

My guess is never since it show Obama to either be a complicit fool who is stooging for Chavez, or a fucking stupid moron who acted but didn't know the law.

#6 Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman would not be specific, but the suspension could have broad implications because the United States runs a large Central American security and counternarcotics operation from a jointly run air base in Honduras. Whitman said only operations affecting Honduras itself are on hold.

No one should be questioning Barry's motives on this one. I fail to see General Jim Jones footprint on any of this. In fact, I've not seen much of him lately.

#7 our President is not well informed

Got that part right anyway. or well educated either,
*Yes I know he supposedly graduated from Hahvahd, it shows either he bought his diploma, or used influence, he sure as hell did not absorb the knowledge offered.
