Honduras did not have a Coup.

[RetiredGySgt]

In fact the Supreme Court of Honduras with the consent of the Congress ordered the military to seize the former President and escort him out of the Country. Why? Because he was rabble rousing and tried to illegally change the Constitution of the Country.

I wonder why NONE of this was reported before. A Coup is when the Military seizes power , they never seized power, they acted under the direct orders of the Supreme Court and the Congress of Honduras. The Military was never in power. Congress replaced the President at the same time he was ousted by the COURTS and the CONGRESS.

"Insulza asked Honduras to reinstate Zelaya, but the president of the court categorically answered that there is an arrest warrant for him," said court spokesman Danilo Izaguirre. "Now the OAS has to decide what it will do."

Micheletti's supporters say the army was justified in ousting Zelaya — on orders of Congress and the Supreme Court — because he had called a referendum which they claim he intended to use to extend his rule. Zelaya denies that and has said he will no longer press for constitutional changes.

This was actually reported the day the supposed "coup" took place. Why Obama along with the MSM chose to side with Chavez is anybody's guess.

I'd say that's probably a good guess.

That is awesome. I'll have to owe you rep for that one.

Using the hammer-and-sickle symbol for non-communists Chavez and Ortega is merely evidence of the political ignorance of this school of thought. There was lasting debate about the impeachment process for Zelaya, but the exact actions that the constitution provided for were unclear. The impropriety of forcible military removal and deportation of an elected head of state is even more apparent in that regard, especially since his "unconstitutional" actions involved an attempt to organize a nonbinding referendum, an action far too trivial to warrant such extreme retaliation.

neither ortega or chavez would be where they are had castro not supported them
so yeah, that tag doesnt fit

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I hadn't heard this before, thank you very much for posting it.

Nice parrots Thats hillarious

 

[Avatar4321]

This is news to me. But I was getting my info from the press. So what a surprise.

As coups go, this was a pretty benign one.

30 years ago, the military in Honduras would have slaughtered the President, his wife, his kids, his dog, all his close confidants, and 1000 of his supporters and their wives and children. This time, they gave him the option of house arrest or going to Costa Rica. That's progress.

It came in at 3am and you know he doesn't answer those calls.

"Chaveza"? Sounds kinda queer. As it were, Chavez came to national prominence as a result of an attempted revolt against then-president Carlos Andres Perez, which Castro issued a statement of opposition toward. I'd advise you to study your history a bit more.

ever do a typo?
this just makes you look like an even bigger asshole than before

 

[Toro]

"Hugh Chav" is the President of Venezuela.

That is not a typo.

 

[Epsilon Delta]

I just love how they keep saying that Ortega, Chavez, Castro AND OBAMA are the ones who support Zelaya. Obviously some sort of communist plot, right? I'll let you know who else does, for the record:

Kristina de Kirchner
Felipe Calderon
Alvaro Uribe
Oscar Arias
Evo Morales
Rafael Correa
Lula da Silva
Michelle Bachelet
Mauricio Funes
Alvaro Colom
Fernando Lugo
Tabare Vasquez
Ricardo Martinelli
Leonel Fernandez
Alan Garcia

And well, yeah, in short, the entirety of the continent. That's a lot of parrots, huh? Guess EVERYBODY is wrong, except you geniuses.

What you guys don't understand is this: Zelaya was doing something illegal, so there's a process: He is impeached, arrested by the police, given a fair trail, and stripped of the presidency and put in jail if found guilty. That's the process. Their total stupidity in exiling him by force, with the army, during twilight hours is what makes this an illegal military coup.

Yeah, well, you are definitely right about that. That's exactly what we were thinking the morning it happened.

"Well... at least they sent him here! = D"

It wasn't even a coup. It was actually a constitutional response by the countries supreme court and congress to the president attempting to illegally alter the constitution.

does Honduras have a national police force, like the US has the US Marshalls?
