Can Obama Look Worse on Honduras? Yes He Can!
Mary O'Grady has been the lead journalist in the US lending clarity to the situation in Honduras (as have the folks at PJTV) and thusly exposing the Obama administration's either shockingly inept or shockingly pro-socialist reaction of sustained pressure (and outright nastiness) against Honduran democrats and constitutional order. Now there is another twist that could make Obama look even worse, if that was possible - relatives of those aligned with the interim government are getting kidnapped or are turning up dead.
There this:
"The body of Enzo Micheletti, a nephew of Honduran interim President Roberto Micheletti, was discovered near Choloma, in the northwest region of Honduras, La Prensa reported Oct. 26, citing family members. Also, in Tegucigalpa, four gunmen killed Honduran Col. Concepcion Jimenez Gutierrez outside his house, according to a police spokesperson."
and now this:
"Alfredo Jalil, the father of Honduran Vice Minister of Defense Gabo Jalil, was kidnapped by unknown gunmen Oct. 27 outside his home in Tegucigalpa, El Heraldo and Proceso Digital reported. The gunmen arrived in two vehicles and fired at least on shot into the door of Alfredo Jalil's car, before forcing him into one of their vehicles."
If the Zelaya camp has turned to murder and violent intimidation as a means of pressing their campaign to return to power, it will mean that Obama has chosen to align himself with outright beasts rather than merely birds of a political feather. At best this is evidence of stunningly bad judgment, at worse, of course, it tells you what Obama really believes (which, given references to Frantz Fanon, why should we be surprised). Ho-hum, it wouldn't be the first time that a squishy, naive elite leftist fell for a political clan that was at heart a power-mad gang of murderers. And it won't be the last.

True enough! But this fairly begs the question: What political "clan" have the "squishy, naive, elite leftists" ever fallen for that wasn't, at its heart, a power-mad gang of murderers?
Was it a mere coincidence that the Nobel Peace Prize previously awarded to Yasser Arafat and Jimmy Carter was recently awarded to Barack H. Obama?
Bat, it is just my highly calibrated writing style of understated irony. Of course, "not the first time" means "always"!
