Good. Zelaya deposed himself, according to the Honduran Constitution so Obama’s and Clinton’s notion that Zelaya is still the democratically elected president of Honduras is absurd given the amount of time they’ve had to determine what the laws and Constitution of Honduras have to say about executive officers seeking to change the Constitutional limit of one term per presidential office holder. The military admits to breaking the law by trundling Zelaya out of the country rather than trundling him off to court to face various charges against him but none of that means that Zelaya remains the president. The world seems to be waking up to the fact that the outrage over what initially had appeared coup-like was misplaced. The only thing Zelaya should be returned to Honduras for is to be tried for treason. I wonder what the standard sentence for treason by former presidents is?

Steve, doesn’t that also say that the criminal charges would stay valid?

…it is “unlikely that there will be a resolution of the Honduran question acceptable to Chávez, Zelaya, Castro, and Obama.”

There. All fixed now.
Remember, you never leave a socialist, dictator-loving authoritarian behind.

If Hugo Chavez was actually silent for one day, that would be a remarkable event, indeed.

There were two paragraphs between the July 12 reference and my silence “speaks volumes” statement, so I suspect you knew I was referring to the 12 day silence on the legal issues by the Obama Administration. But I’ll modify the post to make it crystal clear.

[EDIT-- I added the bolded section to the following sentence in the last paragraph: "The continued silence by the Obama Administration on this topic speaks volumes." -- DRJ]

Chavez should never have had a seat on that bus in the first place. But it’s hard to avoid tossing a lot of people under the vehicle when the person doing the driving has a severe case of both tunnel vision and ass-backwardness.

That was yesterday. Seems a bit odd that a one day silence “speaks volumes.”

Chavez could be attempting to corral Roberto Micheletti, the interim leader. Or, as you say, Zelaya could be totally out of the picture. Less than a week ago, a Honduran Supreme Court official suggested Zelaya might be granted amnesty for unspecified “political crimes.”
