US preparers further sanction against Honduras
2009-08-28
[Iran Press TV Latest] The US is preparing further sanctions against the Honduras' de facto government after coup leaders rejected a settlement proposal, State Department officials say.
Good lord, just give it up already!
On Thursday, a State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity said that the United States was looking at suspending assistance to Honduras through the Millennium Challenge Corporation which rewards nations with free economies and political systems, AFP reported.

Honduras in 2005 signed a five-year, 215 million-dollar deal with the US-funded Corporation to boost its agriculture and transportation sectors.

Foreign ministers from seven nations and the head of the Organization of American States returned empty-handed from Honduras after failing to persuade the interim leaders to accept a plan to reinstall the ousted president Manuel Zelaya.

#6  It's only 7 months - can the national disgrace get any deeper or more profound?

Did you really have to ask that?

#5  If Honduras bends one inch, or even stops yelling "fuck you" at the top of their lungs, for once second, I will never forgive them. Who'da thunk, in a world of craven, despicable, childish morons (that would be the west, minus Iz'rl and Taiwan), the only country with any sense and values and dignity would be little Honduras.

#4  There are some gross spelling errors but on the whole it is written in good South-American Spanish. However I am not well versed enough on the idiosyncracies of Honduran Spanish to tell if it was really written by a Honduran.

#3  But what do Hondurans think of their wanna be self-appointed dictator-for-life? If you know even a little Spanish, this national pamphlet will give you some insight.

The way things have been going here, Honduras should be issuing sanctions against us. Three cheers for the Hondurans and the rule of law!
