U.S. blasts ousted Honduran for "foolish" return
Reuters ^ | Sept. 28, 2009

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States blasted ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya for his "irresponsible and foolish" return from exile before a settlement was reached in the Central American country's political crisis.

At an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States to discuss the Honduran face-off, Lewis Anselem, the U.S. ambassador to the OAS, also criticized Honduras' de facto government for its "deplorable" action in barring entry of an OAS mission and declaring a state of siege on Sunday.

Anselem also criticized Zelaya for fueling violence by slipping back into Honduras last week and holing up in the Brazilian Embassy, from where he has called on his supporters to take to the streets.

"The return of Zelaya absent an agreement is irresponsible and foolish ... He should cease and desist from making wild allegations and from acting as though he were starring in an old movie," Anselm said.

I notice that your tagline has changed today. What does OM for Iraq mean?

Just curious.

FReeper ArmstedFragg found this video on PajamasTV and put the link up on another thread. It is a first class effort of documentary reporting. 24 minutes and well worth the time to watch.

The U.S. has an "ambassador to the OAS?" Is the OAS a friggin' country? It's a stinking NGO of commies.

Obama is trying now to get out of the embarrassing situation he put himself into with his RIDICULOUS foreign policy regarding Honduras.

(Hope people are contacting Congress and the White House about this STUPID decision on the part of the White House to punish those who run their country CONSTITUTIONALLY!)

THIS DESERVES REPEATING:

“Who cares about Honduras anyway?” they said to themselves.

He still thinks nobody is watching his actions. He thinks we’re all just listening to his words.

He’s a jackass.

Zelaya said the Jews were zapping him with gamma rays. That's not a wild accusation, that's lunacy.

Why am I thinking "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when...."?

Seems either way; Israel attacks first or fools everyone and doesn't.
Iran fires nuclear missiles
Israel fires in response
N. Korea, Pakistan & India go off on purpose or by accident
Nuclear bombs are in the air... What does China, Russia and the US do?
Do cooler heads prevail? Who mentioned that Doomsday Machine? It was/is disabled isn't it?

"...But I know we'll meet again some sunny day."

If true. Well that's interesting isn't it.

Is there any support on the web for the idea that he got in through the US air base? That would be explosive news, but I haven’t seen it anywhere besides your post.

A freeper mentioned it last week. I believe he was in contact with civilian service workers on the base.

See Post #183 et . seq.:

Freeper HonCitizen is a Honduran national ,a few blocks from the Brazilian Embassy in question. This is from a live thread and shows why FR gets early news sometimes from an interesting network of contacts.Other story also says that Zalaya entered through Ecuador, but this is regarded as disinformation. The Hondurans believe that Zalaya's return was an Obama initiative. *********************************************

To: HonCitizen

Just received email from my brother in Honduras. He says the only way Zelaya could have gotten in was through Palmerola US air base. He thinks that Clinton/State dept flew him in to the base and helicoptered to Brazilian embassy. There is concern on the t rustworthiness of army due to the $$$ Zelaya and Chavez can pay.

This is critical. Also US Ambassador Llorens has a long history with Zelaya.
