"Talks could end crisis in Honduras; US urges other countries to support effort" by Freddy Cuevas, Associated Press | July 18, 2009
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras - Allies of Honduras’ ousted President Manuel Zelaya say US-backed talks in Costa Rica today may be the last chance to avert a clash, perhaps even civil war.
Zelaya is threatening to return to his homeland with or without an agreement on ending the standoff and has said Hondurans have a constitutional right to launch an insurrection against an illegitimate government.
Somehow the DEMOCRATICALLY-ELECTED GOVERNMENT has now become the "insurgents!"
What SHIT MEDIA we have here in AmeriKa!
In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley appeared to allude to remarks by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, a Zelaya ally who has called the negotiations a US-backed trap and said yesterday, “In the next few hours, Zelaya will enter Honduras and we’ll see what the guerrillas are going to do’’ about it.
So the U.S. has TACITLY ACCEPTED the COUP!
“No country in the region should encourage any action that would potentially increase the risk of violence either in Honduras or in surrounding countries,’’ said Crowley.
Yeah, EXCEPT the U.S. with its OVERTHROWS and UNDER-MININGS of GOVERNMENTS!
Interim President Roberto Micheletti has said Zelaya might try to sneak in by crossing Nicaragua’s jungle-cloaked border with Honduras, but the ousted president apparently was still in Nicaragua’s capital yesterday.
You mean, like the U.S-SUPPORTED and FUNDED (illegally, of course) CONTRAS in the 1980s?
In Honduras, meanwhile, about 2,000 Zelaya supporters blocked two highways connecting Tegucigalpa to the Caribbean and Pacific coasts for several hours yesterday. American Airlines temporarily suspended its two daily US flights to the capital because of the political crisis, an airline spokeswoman said. Continental and Delta continued flights....
Oh, then THIS is SERIOUS if the AIRLINES CANCELLED FLIGHTS!
