Obama’s Foreigh Policy: Pre-Emptive Surrender

From Powerline

Backing An Insane Horse, Illegally

From Powerline
As Scott noted here, President Obama’s insistent support for deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya is bizarre, in view of the fact that Zelaya is a) virulently anti-American, and 2) apparently insane. The Obama administration’s demand that Zelaya be returned to power is based on the claim that he was removed “illegally” by a “military [...]
