Roberto Micheletti said in an interview with The Associated Press late Tuesday that "no one can make me resign," defying the United Nations, the OAS, the Obama administration and other leaders that have condemned the military coup that overthrew Zelaya.

Micheletti, a member of Zelaya's Liberal Party who was named interim leader by Congress following the coup, said Zelaya "has already committed crimes against the constitution and the law."

"He can no longer return to the presidency of the republic unless a president from another Latin American country comes and imposes him using guns," said Micheletti, who shrugged off intense international pressure.

"No one can make me resign if I do not violate the laws of the country," Micheletti said. "If there is any invasion against our country, 7.5 million Hondurans will be ready to defend our territory and our laws and our homeland and our government."

so let me get this right, those that do not support the removal of saddam by force, support the removal of this president by military action....

seems to me the entire government is behind this new president....what gives anyone else the right to intervene?
 
its about opposing freedom via rule of law. the liberals and socialists of the world feel that the majority of 50.0001% should have total rule over the other 49.9999% of the others. They got tired of never being able to beat that supermajority requirement in constitutions that force them to recognize the rights of the minority.

they know whats best for us.

Those that condemn this, might just be afraid that other South American countries might follow suit.
 
Alright, invade them. Impose freedom. Force the military junta to let the poeples voices be heard. Distribute justice by executing the treasonous military wretches.
 
Am I missing something?

Are there mass calls for military intervention in Honduras from those who opposed invading Iraq?

That's what Saddam said .. but I'm betting you supported that piece of madness.

Who is calling for military intervention to remove the fake president?

I've heard no one call for such action because it isn't required. Strikes are being called for throughout Honduras on essential services and planet earth is behind the real president.

Anyone who can't see the outcome of this coming knows nothing about politics or world events .. you know .. like not being able to see the outcome of invading Iraq.

not mass calls, but people calling for it...watermark right above your post, chavez has threatened

so then you do not support military intervention to remove the current president of honduras...is that right? let them sort it out on their own? or do you support any kind of outside pressure?
 
LOL

I love how people are trying to paint liberals as war mongering thugs. This is too funny.

Newsflash: nobody seriously supports invading Honduras.

And shouldn't you have thought of that before you asked that question?

Honduras government's isolation grows after coup

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Thousands of Hondurans demonstrated Wednesday for the return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya, who vowed to fly home this weekend despite a warrant for his arrest. Thousands more rallied in favor of the military-backed government.

Newly appointed President Roberto Micheletti said it would take a foreign invasion to put Zelaya back in power, and said he was sending a delegation to Washington in an attempt to reverse the country's increasing international isolation, though his own foreign minister later denied that.

France, Spain, Italy, Chile and Colombia joined other nations Wednesday in recalling their ambassadors. The Pentagon suspended joint U.S.-Honduran military operations and the World Bank said it was freezing loans. Honduras' three neighbors have suspended cross-border trade.

The new government was on a long-shot diplomatic offensive Wednesday, ordering home Honduras' pro-Zelaya ambassadors to the United States, the United Nations and the OAS. U.N. Ambassador Jorge Arturo Reyna said he took orders only from Zelaya's government. The other two could not be reached.

Micheletti also said it had sent a delegation to Washington, hoping to win international support that has eluded the new government. The coup has been condemned by countries worldwide from across the political spectrum, as well as by the U.N. General Assembly.

Outside the heavily guarded presidential palace, where Micheletti was was working in the same office used by Zelaya, hundreds of student activists erected barricades of boulders, signposts and metal sheeting. They covered their faces with bandanas and carried bats, branches and gasoline-filled bottles.

Would you be interested in a side wager that Zelaya is restored to power?

This was undoubtedly a coup. The man was democratically elected and had 7 months to go in his term. He may not get term limits removed, but worst case scenario for Zelaya and his party: He steps down in 7 months and his party retains the Presidency due to lingering anger at the attempted coup staged by his enemies.

.. and Honduras continues its drift towards the left.

I agree.
 
BAC...of course i thought of it before i asked the question, read the OP again, i expressly mention iraq. i am pointing out the hypocrisy of not approving action there or in other places and yet calling for action here.

i have not made an opinion as to action or no action. after iraq as time goes on, i am beginning to change my views on america taking military action to change governments. on honduras, i have no opinion as i don't think any of us has all the facts necessary to make such a decision. what i do know is, the entire government and most of the people appear to be supporting the new president given the constitutional violations of the prior president.

Your "gotcha" attempts at hypocrisy are so pathetic, predictable & utterly loser-ish.

No, I do not support any kind of invasion of Honduras, just as I didn't support Bush's decision to commit genocide in Iraq. Got it? Stop trying to win the prize for Bush's top apologist; Bush made a terrible decision, using poor judgment, and it cost a lot of people their lives.

There is nothing on the left that compares to that right now. There are no mass calls or any kind of calls to invade Honduras, as you once again implied with dishonesty.

Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic. Give it up.
 
you being dishonest onceler....1. i never said you, 2. i never said mass

i've pointed out those want military action

your whining is really pathetic as you too (surely) like to point out people's hypocrisy or are you actually going to sit here and make the claim that you have never pointed out anyone's hypocrisy, ever....

becuase if you ever have, you're being intellectually dishonest
 
"so let me get this right, those that do not support the removal of saddam by force, support the removal of this president by military action...."

You're talking about Watermark & Chavez here? (and WM is probably joking, btw)

Idiot.
 
"claim that you have never pointed out anyone's hypocrisy"

I point out hypocrisy.

WHEN THERE IS ACTUAL HYPOCRISY TO POINT OUT.

Idiot.

so your little gotcha rants are nothing more than intellectually dishonesty...big surprise, ok for you but not for others :rolleyes:

how can someone be against iraq or the US meddling in other nations militarily and yet argue for doing the same here? how don't see the hypocrisy in that is just another example of how partisan and hackish you really are.
