Honduras’ deposed would-be “strongman,” Manuel Zelaya called on US President Obama to send troops to help him regain control of the Honduran government. Zelaya was president of Honduras until he was removed from office earlier this year by joint action of the country’s supreme court and legislature.
“Micheletti has pissed on the agreement we made to restore my power,” Zelaya angrily alleged. “He is going ahead with the scheduled elections without my approval. He has refused to include my proposed constitutional amendment to extend my term of office. A new government will be formed without my consent.”
Acting President Roberto Micheletti insists that Zelaya was asked to submit names of persons he would like to serve in the interim cabinet being formed to oversee the regularly scheduled election later this month. As for restoring Zelaya to power, Micheletti says “the congress has declined to approve this option—as is its prerogative under the agreement signed by Señor Zelaya.”
Zelaya argues that “I granted them no such prerogative. Even if the agreement seems to leave them that option, our unwritten understanding was that I would be placed back in charge of the government.”
To prevent what he called “the people’s republic from going down the drain,” Zelaya called upon “my good friend Barack Obama to send military forces to suppress this uprising against my authority.”
Ironically, the “uprising” is being carried out by Zelaya’s own Liberal Party—of which both he and Micheletti are members.

LOL!
Hey, maybe Bambi told Z that we could only intervene if USA received a request from the duly elected presidente. I put nothing past Bambi.
I just read where Bambi is trying to allow the Palistian Authority to declare statehood at pre-1967 boundaries. That will put the fit in the shan.
Strength to the dear Honduran people as this socialist/dictator wanna be calls on his friend the Obamanation to back up his evil intents!
Dear American Press, please print what is true and cast light on this nefarious demagogue, Zelaya.
Poor guy sees it all slipping away and thinks O’bama is his last, best hope. What a joke.
Good one John. I caught myself before I posted but not before my blood pressure shot sky high...LOL!
Obama won’t send troops to Honduras. He would call 1-800-USSR-Putin and ask them instead, and pay Russia billions for doing so.
Does this insane megalomaniac, who has the pathological need to use the words "me," "mine," and "I" remind us of another such wannabe totalitarian?
Anyone?
I’m sure the left would not be opposed to the use of force in this case...
Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba would help 0 do it.
Obama as the president that revoked the Monroe Doctrine? No he’ll get the Latin American Communists to do it.
The U.S. is helping a crazy man.
