Zelaya was tied in with the drug gangs (leftists always are) and, in addition, Chavez has been infiltrating Honduras with Chavistas who are now doubt going to try to provoke something.
The reason Zelaya was not represented on this committee was that he refused to submit a list of suggested representatives and started his usual ravings about his own power. That’s what’s embarrassing the OAS now. Their boy is such a flake it’s hard for them to hide it.
On another front, I wonder if Chavez is heating things up. He was announcing that VZ and Colombia were about to go to war, that is, he said that Colombia was going to attack VZ. It is not, of course, but that is what he will say when instead he attacks Colombia. Things are going badly in VZ and their marginal economy is getting even more marginal, so what better than a war? And I’m sure he’d like to involve Honduras in this at the same time.
Chavez is running out of “other peoples money” has to distract the population to stay in power.
The nationalized state run oil production is what has maintained him. That is not enough now.
This is why Obozo through the Export/Import bank loans is trying to “set up” Lula in Brazil. To keep a fellow Commie in power.
It is also why he supported Zelaya in Honduras. To put another Commie in place. From what I have read, Zelaya did not start out Commie, but was turned in office. But how can a gringo like me understand any of this, the cultural divide clouds our perspective on the people, but not my perspective on a Commie.
