#1 In a few weeks the Obama Administration will fully dismount their high horse and recall that they fully supported the courageous & legal defense of Honduran democracy by that nation's legislature, courts & armed forces.

#2 No - the Obama administration will get their State Department officials confirmed, then quietly go back to their original stance.

#3 Yup. That's why Lugar has to maintain the hold until the Honduran elections.

#4 What happens in November, when the Hondurans hold a new election? Do we pretend whoever wins that should be ejected for Zelaya's benefit?

#5 Not just us, but Zelaya's friends in general seem to be backing away from their initial vigorous support of him. Credit must be given to the Hondurans who have kept their behavior in line with their constitition. Very impressive. I hope that some day we will be able to do as well. Recent events illustrate glaringly how far we have drifted.

#6 I'm sensing an entrenched bureaucracy at State with it's own agenda here. You have to fumigate every few years to get rid of the roaches....

#7 TFSM, according to the hard Left, the "election" will be "illegal", since the "coup" installed a "government" that can't "legally" run an "election".

That's Oogo's talking point, and he'll stick to it.

#8 Somewhere along the line I missed where the Oogo name originated.
