Roughly a week after it suspended “non-emergency, non-immigrant” visa services at the U.S. embassy in Tegucigalpa, the State Department has formally suspended non-humanitarian U.S. aid to Honduras. Furthermore, Foggy Bottom has made clear that it will not support the outcome of the upcoming Honduran elections (scheduled for November) unless the country’s recently deposed and exiled leader, Manuel Zelaya, is first reinstalled as president.
Let’s see if we understand this: In order to be considered “legitimate,” the Honduran elections must be overseen by a Hugo Chávez disciple who was ousted from the presidency for (as Honduran supreme court chairman José Tomás Arita wrote in the arrest order) “acting against the established form of government, treason against the country, abuse of authority, and usurpation of power.” The Obama administration has effectively turned Zelaya into a symbol of democracy.

Sounds weird but are we trying to appoint Chavez leader of the Western Hemisphere? The current powers that be seem to have been paid for by Rothchild and Soros.

I appreciatively envy first rate political cartoonists, and the cartoon linked below is a perfect example of why. I was going to post a comment with the same theme here, but no one could equal with a mere few words what Chris Muir conveys in but a few frames.
