    The threat is from Nicaragua and Venezuela sending their socialist para-military militias to invade Honduras, kill people who do not agree with them, and destroy the economy of Honduras.

    The goal of the leftists outside of Honduras is to install a socialist dictator in Honduras in the same manner death threats and a one party take over of the election commission in Venezuela resulted in the constitution and supreme court of Venezuela being changed just the way Chavez, the then want to be, and now defacto dictator of Venezuela, wanted it to be.

    Result, Chavez avoided term limits, shut down the non-government controlled media in Venezuela, replaced all the members of the Supreme court with his cronies, changed the constitution, and effectively made himself President ( dictator ) for life in Venezuela.

    Same script is now being played out in Honduras. Apparently, Obama is giving the green light to this invasion by his attempts to portray any elected politician or Supreme Court justice in Honduras who is trying to defend the Honduran democratic constitution of being a member of a military dictatorship.

    Obama to the Socialists dictators: "go ahead and take Honduras, I have your back if the Honduras military resists the foreign mercenaries you are sending into Honduras".
