SO NOW HE'S UNWELCOME IN TWO OF THE THREE COUNTRIES HIS MANDATE COVERS?:

Obama's envoy Holbrooke 'in heated row' with Karzai (Haroon Siddique, 8/28/09, guardian.co.uk)

The US special envoy to Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke, had a heated row with the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, in the aftermath of the election, according to reports. Sources described the meeting as "a dramatic bust up" and "explosive", according to the BBC.

Holbrooke is said to have challenged Karzai over allegations of ballot-stuffing and fraud and suggested that a run-off to decide the next president – which would be held if no candidate obtained more than 50% of the votes – would boost the credibility of the democratic process.

And the two that are our allies at that. As in Honduras, the Obama Administration's position appears to be that not following your own constitution is the way to make the UR happy.
