Sounds like it is time to host a necktie party and invite him as the guest of honor.

He was surrounded by people who are supporting his would-be dictatoship...whether from Honduras or not, who knows. Fox News reporting he could be arrested at any moment. I think his plan is to create an incident between his people bodyguards and the current government. I hope they have a good plan.

Interesting. I had no idea Obama and Hillary had flown down there.

More cell phones than an episode of 24, and the shooters apparently missed.

I saw video clip and he was literally being closely surrounded by a large crowd of supporters. What does that tell you? He could not be shot without people being taken out as well. All part of a diabolical plot.

They sure tried while he was in the van. Unless he had already exited, I wasn’t sure what was going on exactly.

The expressians on the faces of the Hondurans are not pleasant. I think they would love to take care of business right now. Must be frustrating.

Does anyone have first hand experience with that border?

Is it possible to control the stream of people coming through down to single file one-person-at-a-time? They could isolate him and take him into custody.

They’ve got trucks lined up side by side so while it may not cut it down to one at a tiume, it definitely would require single file lines to get through.

Just spending a few hours watching Venezuelan news, aven though I can’t speak an intelligible sentence in Spanish, I noticed a few things:

The president of Bolivia hates us

The tensions between Columbia and Venezuela are starting to take their toll economically and now Presidente Uribe (Columbia) is no longer a tool of the west but a brother. Could the whole Honduras thing just be cover for ditching FARC? Is the dictatorship now that cozy that they can throw their comrades under the bus? In any event it has something to do with the US, at least as far as I can make out

Oil prices are generally compared by region/entity, that being Venezuela, OPEC, North Sea and Texas.

The president of Bolivia hates us

Addressing his troops seated at a desk to hide his beer gut, with a map on one side and a portrait of some 19th century general on the other (like a velvet Elvis only older), wearing BDUs, it is clear that Chavez ain’t no Patton....If there is a hollywood stereotype of Latin American dictator then he fits it to a Tee

Malathion is killing poor farmers and it is our fault I think.

The minister of the government (prime minister???) of Bolivia hates us and blames us for something. Malathion I think.

The UN representative insists that Zelaya is a democratically elected dictator and should be allowed to return.

A couple hundred zelaya supporters at most seem to prefer red headgear. A few thousand loyal Hondurans in the capitol seem to prefer blue.

Evo Morales (that same president of Bilivia, remember him earlier?) seems to think the US is using their military to keep Zelaya out.

Like Italians, these people use their hands to great effect when speaking. None of that subdued Bill Clinton burger flipping stuff. Real expression.

Apparently when it gets dark everyone just goes home.

Eye opening.

Honduran people to Zelaya: I dare you to cross that line!

I have alot of respect for the Honduran people. I hope they hold out despite outside pressure from idiot politicos of the world.
