On Honduras, please read Fausta for a look at the speech given by President Micheletti to the OAS. Or as I like to call it a spanking.
La Gringa has the video.
Micheletti:
“First, I wish to express unending thanks for the good will that you are showing . . . but we must speak out about something: the truth. You do not know the whole truth and, at times it appears that you do not want to hear it.
This guy is a hero.
Micheletti:
“I made a comment to some friends that we are not afraid of the United States, its State Department, of Brazil, of Mexico, but we are afraid of Mel Zelaya. Very afraid of his return. Because another thing I like to mention is how other countries point at small countries such as ours and say: corruption, corruption, corruption. . . . But now that we stop acts of corruption, we are singled out by you. Today we show the world what kind of government we had under Zelaya and you are angry at us.
Micheletti:
“We only want the truth to be known. I have said it before and I repeat it today . . . if I am an obstacle, I will step aside, but I demand that this man who has caused the worst disasters to the economy and the morale of the country to step aside, as well.
Thanks for your continued coverage of Honduras. The mischaracterization of his speech in US MSM was typical. At times I wonder if any of them speak Spanish.
LaGringa – there wouldn’t be any continued coverage of Hondruas without you. I thank YOU for your continued coverage and translations. I know my own Spanish is enough to get by, but I have (had) every expectation that someone in our state department would have a clear understanding of what is going on there.
It isn’t hard with my own limited knowledge…why is it so hard for the “experts” here?
