"Compromise rejected in Honduran coup" by New York Times | July 23, 2009
WASHINGTON - Efforts to break the political stalemate that has polarized Honduras failed again late Tuesday as leaders of the de facto government rejected a proposal by the head of their own negotiating team to allow the ousted president, Manuel Zelaya, to return to power.
How come we haven't invade.... oh, right, our guys are the coupmeisters.
Interesting censorship, 'eh?

But this article did appear in my printed paper today.
"Zelaya will try again to return to Honduras; US doesn’t back deposed leader’s plan" by Morgan Lee, Associated Press | July 24, 2009
MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Honduras’s deposed president headed toward his nation’s border yesterday to prepare a risky return, an attempt to reverse an ouster that is testing the vitality of democracy in Latin America.
Zelaya said he would make a second attempt to return home, probably this weekend, saying US-backed attempts at mediation had broken down.
They were never meant to succeed. Will AP tell us who scuttled 'em?

Looks like the leftists were right -- and time is running out on his term.
Zelaya said he hoped soldiers at the border would stand down when they see him. He called on supporters to meet him at the border, although he has not yet said exactly where he plan to cross into Honduras.
“I’m going prudently, without guns - I’m a peaceful man,’’ Zelaya told Argentina’s Todo Noticias network by telephone yesterday. “I have the right to return to my home and my family and to serve out the mandate that the people gave me at the polls.’’
All governments in the Western Hemisphere have condemned the coup, in which soldiers acting on orders from Congress and the Supreme Court arrested Zelaya and flew him into exile. Nations on both sides of the political spectrum say Zelaya’s return to power is crucial to the region’s stability.
Vicki Gass, a Latin American specialist, said that if Zelaya’s opponents succeed in driving him from power, it could have a ripple effect in a region where left-leaning elected governments are challenging small classes of elites that have ruled many countries for decades.
That's why they get the CIA COUP!!!!

“Coups could then happen in Peru, where President [Alan] Garcia has a very low approval rating, or in Argentina, or in Guatemala,’’ said Gass, an analyst at the Washington Office on Latin America, which promotes human rights and democracy. “Constitutional order and rule of law have to be restored.’’
All right, wait a minute; that's are all OUR RIGHT-WING CLIENT and TWO TARGET governments!

Zelaya said the mediation efforts, led by President Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, had failed after representatives of the interim government flatly rejected the possibility that he might return to the presidency....
Yeah, they REJECTED THEIR OWN PROPOSAL! Notice how that is covered up by the AmeriKan MSM? What other things are thy covering up?
Jose Miguel Insulza, secretary general of the Organization of American States, held out hope that the two sides might still reach a settlement. He said yesterday that neither delegation had officially responded to Arias’s proposal, which calls for Zelaya’s reinstatement, amnesty for the coup leaders, and early elections.
There is ONLY ONE SIDE, dip!!!
The United States warned of tough sanctions against Honduras if Zelaya is not reinstated, but also said yesterday that it does not support Zelaya’s plan to return on his own.
Of course they don't! THEY are the ones who GOT RID of HIM!!!!!
In Honduras, Zelaya supporters turned up the pressure, blocking roads throughout the country yesterday and occupying several government buildings in peaceful protests.
You can always count on the MSM to hide protests (or lie about) protests they don't like.

Case in point:
TBILISI, Georgia - Vice President Joe Biden also said Georgia should abandon any hopes of reclaiming those regions by force. Georgia’s opposition has held street protests since April to call for Saakashvili to step down....
