— DrewM Looks like there will be a temporary power sharing agreement that lets Zelaya back in but with some limitations on his power.
The deal, struck late on Thursday, will allow the country's Congress to vote on whether Mr. Zelaya, forced out of power at gunpoint on June 28, can return to oversee the country's national elections scheduled for November 29 and serve out his term, which ends in January....U.S. officials and many analysts were confident the deal would hold. Among other things, it calls for a government of national unity and for all sides to recognize the result of the November election. It also would restrict Mr. Zelaya's power if he does return through several means, including handing power of the armed forces temporarily to the top electoral body.
It's not a done deal yet as many in the Honduran Congress aren't thrilled with letting this little Chavez wanna be anywhere near the levers of power.
Here are the bits that bother me.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during a visit to Islamabad, called it "an historic agreement," saying it was the first time that a Latin American country had suffered a break in the constitutional order that had been normalized through talks and non-violence....If the deal holds, it will go down as a foreign policy victory for Obama administration, which sent a high-level diplomatic mission to Honduras earlier this week to secure a deal after five months of one of Latin America's biggest political crisis in years.
Screw them. The Obama administration has bungled this from the start. What the Honduran's did was well within their legal framework and we should have supported them as they worked through this crisis.
The fact that the United States took the side of two-bit thug and punished a small country for having the temerity to chose the rule of law over tyranny. The fact that we were on the wrong side of this fight from the get go is not a victory but a mark of shame we will carry for a long while.
Good luck to the Honduran people and please know that what Obama did was Not In My Name.

Corrupt thugs of a feather flock together. Obambi just recognized a kindred spirit. It'd be a shame if something happens to Zelaya while he tries to get rid of that pesky constitution. As for Obambi, I pray for our secret service, and pray that we make it to the four year mark. I figure if he manages to get reelected, there's nothing worth saving anymore, and it's time to start over.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Whats the over/under on Zelaya being found slumped over his desk with a bullet wound to the back of the skull before he's out of office ?

I mean, if George W. Bus-----er....SATAN, had decided that he still wanted to be President even though we have a constitutional amendment forbidding his re-election, ran around Congress and had, I dunno, Syria help him organize an illegal "referendum" giving him unlimited future terms. Zelaya's supports would have been fine with that? It is to laugh.

Obama is a vapid fraud wrapped up in an empty sham, and packaged as a pretty scam. He will always be on the wrong side of everything (Iran elections, Honduran ousting of Zelaya, dithering on Afghanistan, meeting with Iran and the Norks without preconditions, revoking the missile shield in Eastern Europe, refusing face time with the Dali Lama to placate China, nationalizing car companies, the banking industry and health care, and hobnobbing with various and sundry dictator thugs). Everything this man does is going to lead to epic failure and chaos. I can't believe that Hillary would be so stupid and weak to be tied to him, but she's an idiot too. I pray to God that we survive this trainwreck of an Administration and the Congress that we've been cursed with. Thanks a lot 52%. I'm sure the people in Honduras, Iran, Poland, the Czech Republic and Tibe want to extend their thanks too.

So, in lefty land, when a President violates an explicit part of the country's constitution, and the Supreme Court of that country orders him to be arrested, and the military carries out that order... that is a coup?
That word junta, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Posted by: qrstuv at October 30, 2009 04:33 PM (SSVGw)
Obviously we cannot give allegiance to the criminal regime in Washington until such time as Presidente Richard Hussein Nixon is restored to the office which was stolen from him in a illegal coup by Democrats in 1974.
And since Nixon, Agnew and Ford are all gone now, power must devolve to a remaining high-level member of the Nixon Administration.
Hmmm lets see who could we get? got it!
