Obama’s Ambassador To The United Nations Won’t Call Iran’s Government Illegitimate

Proof • July 2, 2009

Despite clear evidence that the recently-held Iranian election was a fraud and the government has been beating, murdering and/or imprisoning anyone in the country saying otherwise.
Why? Because “the political situation in Iran is for the Iranians to work out internally.”

The problem with that statement is that the Obama administration admittedly tried to intervene to stop the coup in Honduras from happening, and is now calling that coup illegal.
So in Iran, where the current regime rigged an election and then used violence and murder to put down the protests of it, the (potentially nuclear) situation is to be left to the Iranians but in Honduras a coup that was supported the country’s legislature, courts and military is suddenly reason for Obama to intervene? Mostly, by his own admission, to make it clearto Hugo Chavez and his cronies that America wasn’t involved in the coup (even though we got the blame anyway)?
Where are Obama’s priorities? In Honduras Obama decries the removal of a leftist thug (who is currently enjoying the loving care and attention of Chavez and Fidel’s brother Raul Castro) and in Iran he refuses to get tough with an Iranian regime that just fixed an election and put down the resulting protests with violence and murder.
Say what you want about Bush’s “cowboy diplomacy,” but when he said we’d support the aspirations of all free people he meant it.

This is the woman who was with Obama on Air Force One on that early morning flight over New York. My agents tell me she was not where she was supposed to be, as the President, also, was not at his post, during this "mile High" flyover. Two and two makes foreplay, say my minions.

1) Obama is an idiot and a hypocrite. Nothing new here.

2)

Except Bush has far from a perfect record in this regard. I think we can agree that we either need to leave others alone unless we are seriously threatened or we need to universally act as the world's police. Otherwise, we get caught up in major hypocrisies like you point out here.

That qualifies as more than a quibble.

Who am I kidding quibble was a poor word choice. I stand corrected.

I'll try again, Rob, the government of Honduras stepped in to stop a coup by the President not mount a coup.

Obama has done a lot, domestic and foreign policy-wise, since his election that was just bad policy. But IMO, this goes beyond bad policy, it really is just shameful.
