U.S. Cuts Off Non-Humanitarian Aid To Honduras
The only thing shocking about this is that Hillary Clinton didn’t go and call what happened the other month a coup. Had she done that, all aid would have had to be cut, per US law (not that lawmakers, particularly those in Obama’s admin, follow the law)
The Obama administration on Thursday cut all non-humanitarian aid to Honduras over the ouster of President Manuel Zelaya, making permanent a temporary suspension of U.S. aid imposed after he was deposed in June. (snip)
“The secretary of state has made the decision, consistent with U.S. legislation, recognizing the need for strong measures in light of the continued resistance to the adoption of the San Jose Accord by the de facto regime and continuing failure to restore democratic, constitutional rule to Honduras,” Kelly said in a statement.
“Restoration of the terminated assistance will be predicated upon a return to democratic, constitutional governance in Honduras,” he said. In other words, when Honduras reinstates the ex-president who was attempting to subvert the Honduran constitution to make himself el Presidente for life, similar to Hugo Chavez (who was also providing aid to Zelaya.) The Obama admin has taken the side of the hard core lefty over the “yeah, we’re sort of left” folks.
