TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) – Honduras' de facto government has accepted a U.S.-driven deal that opens the door for the return to power of President Manuel Zelaya, toppled in a military coup four months ago.
The breakthrough late on Thursday followed renewed pressure from senior U.S. officials who traveled to Honduras this week for a last-ditch effort to end a crisis that has given U.S. President Barack Obama a foreign policy headache.
"It is a triumph for Honduran democracy," the leftist Zelaya said after the rival sides agreed to a deal that he said should see him restored to office in the coming days.

Less than a month in power with a gun in his ear.
Fact is, think I’ll wait to see if this deal turns out like all the rest.
Well they claim they aren’t happy with Daniel Ortega but I’m not seeing any sanctions or pressure being applied.
Why are we interfering in another Nation’s electoral process?
Is this not a reason to IMPEACH?
0bama is not King of the World . . . yet.
They murdered the man’s nephew. And we help put the murderer back in power.
Our government is evil. We’re being ruled by monsters.
They’ll be sorry.
Who was murdered?
Who Murdered him?
Thank you.
I think it is a way to get him out of the embassy and cap him.
Otherwise this marks the first time the US gov has supported and accomplished a communist coup. Intentionally anyway.
One more reason treason should get the rope. No one can put them back in power.
What crisis? It’s just Zippy sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong on behalf of a commie nut.
Who was murdered? - The constitutional President’s nephew, who had recently been appointed to replace a communist mayor.
Who Murdered him? - Unknown, the left is insinuating “drug related”. I expect the capitol police would have classified it a suicide, like Vince Foster’s.
Thank you. - NP. Sad days.

“Otherwise this marks the first time the US gov has supported and accomplished a communist coup. Intentionally anyway.”
A case can be made that the Russian Bolsheviks were preserved by American threats to the European powers not to intervene. Some would argue that the U.S. betrayed the Chinese Nationalists and supported Agrarian reformer Mao into power.
In the future, it may be seen that the entire international Communist movement was a U.S. State Department project from the get-go.

Rog that! Bloodless coups leave the door wide open to redux. Chavez is a prime example.
IT WAS NOT A COUP!
But it will be a civil war.
From what I read, the agreement only says that the congress will re-address his removal, based on court rulings. But the court ruled he was guilty, and the congress already removed him once, so I don’t see how it is a foregone conclusion the congress would reverse itself and re-instate him.
the deal supposedly gives amnesty to no one and creates a Truth Commission.....not good!
Received this (translated) email on Thursday from Honduran Gov.
“Electoral Process there is no way to stop” President Micheletti The President of the Republic, Roberto Micheletti, said today that there is no way that the upcoming electoral process is stopped, so called for the six presidential candidates he, who get the trophy to build a government of unity and respect. The president of the Honduran was present at the handover of the Armed Forces of Honduras to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), where he had the presence of the candidates the Presidency of the Republic, to participate in the process of Nov. 29. The event that took place in the Field of Mars stop, attended by members of the Council of Ministers of the Executive, Members of Congress, the Supreme Court and the staff of the Armed Forces, as well as businessmen and members of civil society. The TSE President Saul Escobar, together with the judges, Enrique Ortez and David Matamoros, bracelets imposed at first instance the officers to coordinate the custody and distribution of all election materials, and to surrender, in the 18 departments, days before 29 November. During his speech, Bush spoke directly to Honduran presidential candidates and told them that one of them is that which must of take the lead the next government, so I ask God that the person who chooses to build a government of unity and respect.
For his part, President of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), Saul Escobar said that” guaranteeing the protection of polling receptor (MER), and ensure a calm environment so that citizens flocked to vote this November 29 “. In the 2005 general elections the voter turnout was 56 percent, said the judge, but they expect that amount is exceeded in this election process. “You should go to vote this 29 November,” he said. PRESIDENTIAL HOUSE PRESS October 29, 2009”
Ditto that. History has shown that these tin-pot rabble rousing wannabe tyrants are better put down than exiled. Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, all could have been avoided if someone had treated treason as a capital crime.
This cannot end well.
