Hugo Chavez lent ousted Honduran criminal President Zelaya a Venezuelan flagged jet in his attempt to fly back to Honduras, even after the Honduran government stated they would not allow him to land in the country.

This was a patent attempt to create a Casus Belli and give Chavez the excuse he would need to send Venezuelan and even Nicaraguan troops in to restore the ousted Zelaya.

After bravely stating the “Blood of Christ Sustains me,” Zelaya backed down and his plane diverted to El Salvador. 

The Honduran government bides its time with a statement offering to talk with the OAS – this is a play for time folks – Zelaya’s inertia will slow allowing the free people of Honduras to rid themselves of him through delay tactics with these lame world bodies.   From the Wall Street Journal:

We are waiting with open arms for any commission that wants to come,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Martha Lorena Alvarado de Casco. “The Republic of Honduras has told the OAS it is disposed to designate a commission to negotiate in good faith.”

Honduras’ influential Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez, the highest ranking Catholic Church official in the country, went on national television to urge the exiled president not to come back. “We think that a return to the country at this time could unleash a bloodbath in the country,” Cardinal Rodriguez said. “To this day, no Honduran has died. Please meditate because afterwards it would be too late.”

The prelate also criticized Mr. Zelaya, suggesting the Church was throwing its weight behind the provisional government. “The day of your swearing in, you clearly quoted the three commandments of the sacred law of God: Not to lie, not to steal, and not to kill,” said the Cardinal, who was seen as a leading candidate to succeed the late Pope John Paul II.

Even more disturbing, the Reuters is reporting that Zelaya will be returning to WASHINGTON for more “talks” if he is not allowed back into Honduras.  Why is Obama providing aid and comfort for a President who defies his country’s constitution and laws?  I will let you, Dear Reader, do the math one that one….
