U.S. blasts ousted Honduran for "foolish" return
Reuters ^ | Sept. 28, 2009

Posted on 09/28/2009 11:16:23 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States blasted ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya for his "irresponsible and foolish" return from exile before a settlement was reached in the Central American country's political crisis.

At an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States to discuss the Honduran face-off, Lewis Anselem, the U.S. ambassador to the OAS, also criticized Honduras' de facto government for its "deplorable" action in barring entry of an OAS mission and declaring a state of siege on Sunday.

Anselem also criticized Zelaya for fueling violence by slipping back into Honduras last week and holing up in the Brazilian Embassy, from where he has called on his supporters to take to the streets.

"The return of Zelaya absent an agreement is irresponsible and foolish ... He should cease and desist from making wild allegations and from acting as though he were starring in an old movie," Anselm said.

Though he's probably a lefty I like this kid Anselm. He's not impressed by Third World tin-horns.

I agree with you. Drag him out and shoot. This is the only way to permanently solve the problem. Do the deed in jail.

There was a report issued last week thru the Congressional Research office/Library of Congress that noted that the outster was perfectly legitimate. How does our Administration go against that? They have to backpedal as fast as they can.

Thank you. I’ve been reading HonCitizen’s posts (except that I fell behind due to Yom Kippur). My first thought in reading him wass how awful it is to see your country stolen before your eyes, and then I realized that we in the USA are experiencing the same thing.

If Zelaya came in via the US, that’s awful — but, sadly, believable.

Also, I’m surprised and disgusted to read the claim that the ambassador had a long history with Zelaya. If someone could verify this, it would escalate the importance of this story among conservative bloggers, which is the most important venue, anyway.

It was all planned. Pretend to chastise him so that the legitimate government (what the communists call "de-facto") will think they can trust the baraq O bamah administration and then WHAM! The boom will be lowered and Zelaya will be the demon in charge of Honduras.

Lewis Anselem, the soon-to-be recalled U.S. ambassador to the OAS...

Maybe so but it's all a shell game. Jesus of Nazareth said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand". The Antichrist baraq O bamah's minions will do whatever his bidding is. Their house is NOT divided. Do not be deceived. A stupid little job like ambassador will not get in the way of their wanting his praise for appearing to mess things up. One need look no further than his muse Joe Bidden and that hell hound wookie he calls a wife to see that baraq O bamah is having fun with us.

Exactly. We are kindred spirits to those Hondurans fighting for their Constitution!

A slight departure from traditional diplomatic language.

I think Emperor Obie and team are having second thoughts, as they do with just about everything they don't plan well.

Joe Biden must be running our Republic while Obama is in Denmark promoting his Chicago thug buddies.

I wonder what Crazy Joe is up to these days.

He has been rather quiet lately.

Translation: Two months after denouncing the Honduran government for following its own Constitution, the US State Department realizes it made a serious error and is trying to backtrack on tippytoes, so no one will notice.

Of course, Chaelie Gibson wouldn’t notice if they blew a tuba in his face.

Well, we an conclude that another leftist diplomacy initiative of Obama failed. One wonders what is going on in other foreign venues such as Kenya and Somalia that we know nothing about.

The CIA has become Obama's minion.Where are the leaks?
