Once again

we must ask the question, because:

1. In the revolt against the Iranian mullahs, Barack Obama's muted (at best) denunciation of the mullahs' tactics and lack of support for the Iranian people shows a support for the mullahs and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, sworn enemies of the United States;

2. In the legal removal by the Honduran Supreme Court of its president, Manuel Zelaya, who was trying to illegally get around constitutional restrictions to have himself named dictator for life, Obama is not siding with the Honduran people, who appear to support Zelaya's removal, but with Zelaya -- and his patron, Venezuela's argument-for-retroactive-abortion Hugo Chavez, both of whom intend to hurt the United States;

3. Obama is determined to get a nuclear arms reduction with the Russian government, who also intends to hurt the United States -- so determined that he is willing to give up missile defense and is even willing to dispense with the usual constitutional requirements ... er, details of, you know, Senate ratification; and

4. Obama is determined to spike the F-22 Raptor fighter, which every single military individual I know insists is the best superiority fighter in the world, on spurious claims of performance and cost -- which will weaken the United States air defenses.

So, we must again ask the question:

WHOSE SIDE IS BARACK OBAMA ON?
