Reply #2: Well, this is all very disappointing. And, if Obama is listening to Clinton on most matters now,

I would think it would be wise for Kerry not to get in the middle and assist them in any way. He might be the one that ends up with "egg" on his face.
The last I read regarding Kerry's position on Honduras it was in support of the ousted president. I found this article on Honduras from the NYT, which seems to claim that the US has a history of supporting coups there and then references the Contras.


"The United States has had a history of backing rival political factions and instigating coups in the region, and administration officials found themselves on the defensive, dismissing allegations by Mr. Chávez that the C.I.A. may have had a hand in the president's removal.

In the 1980s, Honduras was a huge base for C.I.A. operatives helping contra rebels fighting to overthrow the leftist Sandinista government in neighboring Nicaragua. The rebels received training from the United States and aid for their fight against the Sandinista government.

Mr. Zelaya, a rancher who often appears in cowboy boots and a western hat, has the support of labor unions and the poor. But the middle class and the wealthy business community fear he wants to introduce Mr. Chávez's brand of socialist populism into the country, long one of Latin America's poorest."

But, if it is as you say about Obama's decision on the troops and the mission, than I am very disappointed in this administration and President Obama, to the point of not defending them any longer. It seems President Obama is not the true leader I thought he was. And, all this time he has taken to reach this decision seems like BS.
