Hi Heather. Welcome to FR. Hopefully you will spend time engaged with us here.
In your article, excepted by you and posted to FR by you, you wrote “Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was removed in a military coup”.
From where do you get your information? How do you define “military coup”?
It looks like she got “her information” from an article in the Examiner. This is the way our SRM and the MSM around the world is reporting this. It is entirely BS but that is the reality of it. I don’t know why you would blame the OP for that.
"Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was removed through legal military action for attempting to rewrite his nation’s constitution to extend his term limits; however, our own commander in chief threw support his way. In response to the coup, President Obama said the following:"
Well, she wrote more than that. Her full sentence was
"Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was removed in a military coup for attempting to rewrite his nation’s constitution to extend his term limits"
So she got the critical part right.
This is what Heather wrote, “Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was removed through legal military action for attempting to rewrite his nation’s constitution to extend his term limits; however, our own commander in chief threw support his way. In response to the action, President Obama said the following:.... “
It does not appear to me that the author is defending Zelaya. It doesn’t say anything about a military coup, it says it was LEGAL military action and she gave the valid legal reason.
