I can not believe how the press and our government has handled this. This deposed president is dirty and no matter what comes to light they sweep it under the carpet. Chavez taught him well and if we do not decide to counter these problems south of our border we are in for great problems in the next 5-10 years. Regan would have dealt with this a lot better. I miss the Regan years.

Why hasn't the media reported on this? Not even Fox News?

Zelaya is a Chavez clone.

Seems as if there is a lot of speculation and unconfirmed information out there from both sides over this matter, and the MSM appears to be erring on the side of caution with it all. Atypical for them, I know, but...

I'd wager we start seeing more on this shortly.

And so it goes...

As much as I hated the Clinton years in the military, I am not for a replay of the Reagon years down here. We need to stop "mettling" here in the Southern Cone & instead impliment a clear political, martial, & economic policy that we can abide by. We can not afford to turn a blind eye to regimes that violate our moral compass simply because it is politically expedient. That is how we ended up w/ a lot of this non-sense in the first place.

there were 550 ballots, 450 of which were votes in favor of Zelaya's proposal and 30 were against, in addition to 20 blank ballots and 30 ballots, which were nullified.
Uh, am I the only one who thinks that the even numbers, nicely ending in zeroes, arouse suspicion?
