The BBC is framing it as a “power sharing agreement.”
In any case, it seems that they will have free elections in a month and both Micheletti and Zelaya will be out of office in January.
of course its the best and its a good thing Honduras held out as long as they did. Zelaya will only have 2 months in office and everyone watching him.
Outstanding...the US is successful in diplomacy...at restoring a wannabe dictator back in office...after he was constitutionally removed from office. Dang any constitution that gets in the way of mob rule.
Shame on Zer0 and all of those who do not believe in the aspects of constitutional law. Shame!
False.
Yes, all it is The Chicago Way works on weak dependent democracies when the full might, majesty, dominion, power and glory of the USA is brought to bear. Never mind that Iran, Taliban, China, Russia et al just say “shove it” and Obama runs with his tail between his legs.
It reinforces the feeling south of the border that El Gringo is the man and you better not get out of line.
The Obammunist had to cave (the ball is in Honduras Congress and Supreme Court hands) after the
Directorate of Legal Research filed it's REPORT FOR CONGRESS - HONDURAS: CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ISSUES
This report discusses the legal basis under the Honduran Constitution for President José Manuel Zelaya Rosaless removal from office.
This report was made public. It was requested by the United States Congress. It was sent to the U.S. Supreme Court.
It said Honduras acted in accordance with it own Constitution.
So Zelaya is not president of Honduras. The Honduras Congress and Supreme Court have agreed to do the same process all over again, just like they did before.
The Kenyan loses.

When the remaining Central American countries fall, we will face a much larger Cuba, with lots of oil, with missiles from North Korea and nuclear technology from Iran to our south. It could take 70 or more years (as our left wing helped Castro to oust Babtista in 1959) for Hondurans to regain the rights we, the United States, have taken from them. Castro destroyed the country with the highest standard of living in Latin America. Honduras was dealing with a Chavez ally, a tyrant, and has a constitution which successfully and legally protected them. Our British chief executive (not legally a president) has aligned us with Chavez (for whom Ayers son works or worked), and destroyed the constitutional government of our small neighbor. If anyone thinks that wasn't their intention, pay attention for the next month.
Obama and the forces behind him are finding it easier to impose Marxism on smaller contries than on the U.S. Here he must first destroy the economy. But Obama alligned with Chavez, Castro, Ortega, Ahmadenijad, will hasten the takeover of weaker countries in Latin America. Chavez troops didn't need to cross the border. Sending Hillary and John Kerry did the trick.
HEHE! Very smart. They let the clown in "officially" for 2 weeks just to pacify everyone and then he's gone. The people voted for someone else. It's BYE, BYE!
Zelaya will mind his P’s and Q’s, because what he wants is to be able to protect his money interests and property in Honduras, and be able to continue to live in the country. One wrong move on his part and he will be exiled from Honduras, and the next time if he would try to come back in the country, there would be a jail or a bullet waiting for him.
So Zelaya has a lot to lose, namely living in his own country where his relatives and business interests are located. And if he doesn’t go peacefully into the night, he knows he will be a marked man in his own country, and someone, somewhere, sometime, will take him out. Methinks he will be very, very careful in his moves, unless, of course, he is nutz, which is a distinct possibility, considering some of the totally irrational comments that have come out of his mouth, like the Jooooooos were out to get him. One can never disallow the possibility that he is a tad loco.
Obama is reversing the progress made by Reagan in the 1980s in South America.

This is a dark day for democracy and another reason for people in South/Central America to hate America.Can we blame them?
“Im weary of watching evil triumph.”
Me too. I pray and pray but it seems to do no good.
What are the chances that election will happen? He didn’t work to get back into power for 4 weeks.
dittos. Everyone backs down and lets the evil win.
I think Honduras learned their lesson about just throwing him out. If he tries to seize power again, he'll be lucky to end up IN the jail, rather than UNDER it.
If they would have shot the commie bastard to begin with they wouldnt be dealing with this mess.CHE can vouch for that.
