Then Micheletti said, “loan us some plane radar so we can find those Venezuelan drug traffickers and Hillary said “No”.”
Funny how everyone wants “flexibility” but all that comes to mean is we want you to reinstate Zelaya.
In further news, even Honduran, Zelaya backing radio is sick and tired of US intervention in their affairs and is suggesting that the upcoming election is the answer.
If you read through LaGringa’s first link you’ll also find that Canada, Panama, Colombia and Costa Rica (yes Arias’ Costa Rica) all are making plans to accept whoever wins the election in Honduras.
Also in the link is a link to a letter by 16 US Congress people to Obama suggesting that the US has huge influence over Honduras and really needs to put the hammer down because Zelaya is “open to dialogue” unlike the “coup leaders” (Huh??) and this administration is sending out mixed messages and in the meantime people are “suffering”.
This whole freaking suffering affair is because the US administration was unwilling to back the rule of law of Honduras!!!! Maxine Waters is a signer of the letter if that gives you any indication of how well thought out the thing is.
Per LaGringa:
How is it that US diplomacy went so wrong that they have made enemies of both sides of Honduran issue?
Butt out! Let Honduras solve its own problem.
Yeah.
Right on!…
Even me, who knows there’s an “invisible government” in the shadows, was surprised at how this thing in my wife’s Honduras played out.
–The lightning fast reaction by the world’s presidents clubs was strange to me. All of them demanding that Honduras throw away its constitution and reinstate the coup plotter Mel Zelaya, who was already running his own coup government, and was stopped by the legitimate constitutional authorities.
He refused to submit a budget to Honduras for 2009, so January 1, 2008 is when in my opinion he began his coup. A “stealth coup” to the world with the cooperation of international organizations who don’t care when presidents organize violent mobs to do their bidding, like Zelaya and Chavez.
He continued, threatening to send tanks against Congress, threatening his own military coup, and talking up re-election (find him captured on video at Youtube). Except in Honduras their constitution bans re-election every which way from Sunday, because they got tired of dictators. Like Zelaya.
