Humberto Fontova: The enemy of my friend is my friend says Obama on Honduras
[Humberto Fontova is the author of four books including Exposing the Real Che Guevara. Visit hfontova.com.]
"Obama doesn't know what he's doing!" snapped Honduran foreign minister Enrique Ortez this July, 4. "He doesn't know anything about anything!" continued Ortez. "He probably can't even find Tegucigalpa on a map."
The U.S. was then (as now) denouncing the democratic Honduran government's actions to uphold their constitution and thwart a Chavez/Castro satrap hell-bent on converting their nation into a client narco-state for Hugo Chavez. Honduras' Supreme Court voted unanimously to oust Zelaya, and her legislature voted the 125- 5 for same. The five contrarian legislators belong to Honduras' Communist party, long known for dutifully carrying water for papa Fidel.
The Honduran minister, Mr Ortez, knowing full-well what had been at stake, and knowing full-well the meticulously legal procedure his countrymen had followed -- and how they'd acted in the nick of time to save both his nation's and the U.S.' interests by ousting Zelaya -- was blowing his cool, quite understandably, if a bit undiplomatically.
But let's hope Mr Ortez was right. Let's hope the Obama administration's relentless bullying of the painstakingly democratic and steadfastly U.S.-friendly Honduran government of President Roberto Micheletti (who promptly fired minister Ortez after his comment, btw) issues from mere ignorance.
Let's hope Washington's frowns and snarls against methodically constitutional and free-market Honduras (while she flutters here eyelashes and blows kisses at Stalinist Cuba) are an unwitting lapse. Let's hope the economic and diplomatic sanctions Hillary Clinton's State Department are using to try and pistol-whip long-time U.S. ally Honduras to cave-in to the designs of Hugo Chavez, Raul Castro and Daniel Ortega are merely misinformed, and nothing more.
Otherwise our nation is in much deeper guano than most conservatives already suspect...
... That mid 80's Reaganite (with the help of Hondurans) spanking to Castro and Russia still stings their butt-boy/valet Daniel Ortega, who during this April's "Summit of the Americas," was quick to remind Obama of his still smarting buttocks. The most vital stanza of Daniel Ortega's Sandinista anthem (Latin American leftists catch and extra breath and sing it with all the fervor we use for 'Ban-ner ..ye-et WA-A-VE!') bashes the U.S. as "El E-NE-MIGO de la HU-MA-NI -DAD!) (the enemy of humanity!)
And at this latest "Summit of the Americas" Ortega had a golden opportunity to shriek and bellow the gist of this stanza into the very face of a U.S. President -- and for a full 50 minutes, as most of the Western Hemisphere's bemused leaders snickered and giggled.
But fear not! Obama wasn't about to stand for such! And (even without a teleprompter) he narrowed his eyes, rolled up his sleeve -- and hit back hard!...
