WASHINGTON (AP) — The Organization of American States is meeting in Washington to consider suspending Honduras' membership because of the military coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
The group's assistant secretary-general, Albert Ramdin, said Zelaya planned to attend Saturday's emergency meeting. Zelaya is expected to address foreign ministers
Ramdin says the OAS does not regard the current Honduran government as legitimate — so it can't withdraw from the OAS.
Ministers agreed Tuesday on a 72-hour ultimatum for the Honduran government to reinstate Zelaya or face an OAS suspension. But Honduras' interim president calls the OAS "a political organization, not a court."
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

“You can’t withdraw because we’re going to suspend you!” ROTFLMAO!!! You can’t make this stuff up. What a bunch of buffoons.
If the OAS doesn’t like Honduras’s actions they should declare war on them. Nuke ‘em. Send in the OAS military. Bomb them into submission. /s
Wow!! They are brothers!!
Do you know if 0bongo Sr. was invited to Venezuela?
OAS has not suspended Venezuela. http://www.oas.org/documents/eng/memberstates.asp?sCode=VEN#Inicio
Obama is supporting Zelaya, Chavez, Castro, and the Narco-Drug Trade.
I think the US is a member of the OAS, Obama would love to bomb them I would think
Honduras has no real military power to speak of. More of a large SWAT team.
“I quit!”
No, you can’t quit; you’re fired!”
LOL...
OHH NO! Not the OAS! Does this mean they won’t get invited to the OAS New Years party?
Talk about do nothing, bloviating hand wringers.
Someone needs to fix this pic. 0 is missing his hammer and sickle (scythe?)
I agree. Lol! Sorta pops their balloon!!!

Count on the AP for breathtaking bias and thorough misrepresentation of news. Again with the “coup” nonsense.
POWER to the people of Honduras, to their SOVEREIGNTY and to their Constitution. I hope they realize how important it is they stand together and resist the world opinion...and the OAS.
