EGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Former President Manuel Zelaya has arrived in Honduras, ending a long political crisis caused by his ouster in a military-backed coup almost two years ago.

Zelaya's flight from Nicaragua landed on Saturday at Tegucigalpa's airport where he was greet by thousands of supporters who had set up a tent camp nearby.

Zelaya's comeback paves the way for Honduras to re-enter the international community, which rejected the June 2009 coup that forced him from office and out of the country.

I wish this lie was actionable. These creeps at AP belong in jail for this kind of agitprop.

With the help of the Obama state department.

This guy is going to be an endless source of trouble. I hope he has repaid the money his aides looted from the Honduran treasury.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I thought they were going to either jail his crazy arse, or shut him in a rubber room.

I hope some of our friends in Honduras are still FReeping and will give us some input.

He might still get bumped off - especially if he tries to violate the constitution again.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Now they need to lock the sumbitch in prison and throw away the key.Just dont say which prison.

[Rudder]

Hilliary must be orgiastic about this.

Am I remembering it correctly.. he tried to alter their constitution to get extra constitutional Chavez like power or life time appointment and the courts and majority of population forced him out.. Obama and hitlery supported his power grabbing, the media cried ‘military coup’ and now the state dept. is helping in his return..

Am I remembering this right..?

[Lurker]

That’s about right.

[cripplecreek]

You’re remembering it right. If I recall he wanted Chavez to send election “observers”.

[OldNewYork]

Not a great day for Honduras. The Honduran Allende y Chavez is back.

[Psalm 144]

“With the help of the Obama state department.”

That would be the same people who helped suppress dissent in Iran, and foment it in Egypt and Libya.

There must be a reckoning day with these people. It is inevitable.

The communist Daily World couldn't have spun it any better.

[WellyP]

We can hope! Better yet, all this BS starts and ends with the Castro/Chavez mob. The Castro mob supplies the method and the Chavez mob the money and muscle. If you really want to solve the problem, you have to take down those responsible for creating and financing the problem.

[Truth29]

This is another lesson why humanitarian exile for former dictators and would be dictators is a bad idea. The dead don't return.

The Supreme Court of Honduras so ruled, and the officials in charge were then kind enough to personally escort him out of the country instead of to a prison cell or a cemetery. Barry is still nursing a sore jaw after that thwack.

What does that mean? My memory is that he let Hillary carry his water on this?

I am wondering what is the upside for Lobo on this.
