(Please identify those in the photo if you can. If you've been following this hundreds if not thousands of Hondurans are being detained without food and medicine and some have been murdered in a style reminiscent of the death squads. (Connie Mack and Hugo Llorens the Cuban American ambassador in the photo don't know the others?)

1. Jeb Bush is expected as well nt

4. Is Jeb Bush going to fly to Honduras with a suitcase full of money as he did in 2001 Nicaragua?

Ironic that I posted about Jeb Bush's travels to Latin America way back in August 2003:

Is Jeb Bush going to fly to El Salvador with a suitcase full of money?

Is Jeb Bush going to fly to El Salvador with a suitcase full of money, as he did in 2001 when the Bush regime feared a Sandinista victory in neighboring Nicaragua?

Latin America is not an American colony, and Latin Americans are not some taco eating sub-human species that exist solely to provide cheap labor and natural resources to their greedy Norhtern neighbors.

Not surprising that Bush supports the criminal gang of ARENA, a party founded by the late leader of Salvadoran death squads, and School of the Americas graduate (and Hitler admirer), Roberto D'Aubissson.

When it comes to schooling terrorists, the United States is second to none!

2. Can we get them to keep them?

20. Thanks, but there are enough right wing assholes in Latin America.

You can keep them.

they need guidance from their superior in the republican party

don't answer questions and get out of town!

9. Interesting...

10. It would be nice to unmask the ties between these coup buddies

and where's John McCain. He has interests in Honduras, funnels money to the right there and received the (now bloody) coup leaders in Washington.

[JDPriestly]

11. The Obama administration needs to make the U.S. stance on the Honduran coup

very clear. It appears that Obama is tacitly allowing these Republicans to decide the foreign policy at this point. This is inappropriate. The president is responsible for deciding which group claiming to the be the legitimate government is legitimate. Obama can't remain silent.

12. Hearing our right-wing racists staggering off to throw their meaty arms around the little Nazis

who seized the elected government of Honduras, the same people who have been loudly condemned by the ENTIRE WORLD, is repugnant beyond belief.

Since WHEN does the party out of power set foreign policy, anyway?

Maybe the vicious little thug Micheletti and his racist pals will have them all kidnapped and murdered in order to justify a holocaust upon the citizens of Honduras, killing Hondurans until the only ones left are the pasty-faced, grotesque ugly European descended people who look just like them.

No Neck Micheletti has reactivated former leader of infamous death
squad Batalion 316. See, he has the interests of his country at heart.

13. Maybe they're going down to collect their cut. Why else do Republicans

ever bother with Latin America?

[Judi Lynn]

16. No kidding! There's gotta be a payoff.

By the way, no one could keep the big pig Jeb Bush out of El Salvador during elections while his strange brother squatted in the White House.

He made multiple trips there to threaten the voters with the claim that if they went ahead and elected a leftist, they just might expect to find the remissions their loved ones working their asses off in the States could send back to them for the family.

They have used that threat over and over again in Central America. "Vote for the right-winger or you'll regret it."

Eventually the people are going to get strong enough to tell them to put all those threats where the sun doesn't shine.

Notice how the GOP Talking Points on Honduras are a exact match to those used by pro-coup DUers. What an amazing coincidence!

Mack to Lead Congressional Trip to Honduras This Weekend

WASHINGTON – Congressman Connie Mack (FL-14), the Ranking Republican of the House Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, will travel to Honduras on Saturday and Sunday to meet with key leaders and officials and discuss the ongoing crisis in the country.

Mack said:

“I am looking forward to getting on the ground in Honduras to hear directly from members of the Honduran government about the political situation in the country, as well as the progress of the ongoing talks in Costa Rica.

“It’s important to remember that Manuel Zelaya’s removal was not a military coup. The Honduran Supreme Court, attorney general, Congress and the Honduran people were right to confront Zelaya as he usurped the law and gutted their constitution.

“During this time of upheaval, the people of Honduras deserve to know that the United States and other freedom-loving nations across the globe stand with them and support a peaceful and legal resolution. I look forward to reaching out to them during this trip.”

Mack is the first Member of Congress to travel to Honduras since Zelaya’s removal.
