#1 "...return to democratic and constitutional order."

Uh, that's what they got when the Hondurans showed Zelaya the exit sign. Could we be seeing the begining of a walk-back to get the US on the correct side of this fight?

#2 I'm rather amazed. Is Hildebeast coming to her senses?

That, or maybe we should be worried about our own.

#3 So, I'm confused. Is the the flip, or the flop? Or, the I was against it before I was for it? These wacky Dems, there is no way to be sure.

#4 Not coming to her senses, just aware her red slip is showing. Maybe, just maybe, the kneejerk reaction of our neo-Marxist dem leadership (O, the beast, et al) in support of the Chavez power projection attempt in Honduras exposed their base proclivities to the US public too soon. I think the US public is not generally supportive of Chavez, his goals or his tactics, and are confused at our government's initial position. So now O and Hill are seeking shelter in a temporary retreat from their blatant and open support of the attempted takeover. Perhaps they will now pursue their goals by "other means". Keep your eyes on the events unfolding in Honduras over the next days and weeks.

#5 Best fall back will be for 6 power talks to 'quickly' resolve the issue. Yes, use the successful State Dept model to deal with it. /sarc off

#6 The administration is concerned because Zelaya isn't playing the poor, deposed El Presidente and is coming across like a little Chavez.

This isn't helpful to the administration and might cause their otherwise-fawning groupies to start having doubts about other aspects of the administration's foreign policy.
