Well, Why Didn’t You Say So?
Now we know what the Obama administration sees in the guy:
It’s been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He’s sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and “Israeli mercenaries” are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.
“We are being threatened with death,” he said in an interview with The Miami Herald, adding that mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy where he has been holed up since Monday and assassinate him. …
Zelaya was deposed at gunpoint on June 28 and slipped back into his country on Monday, just two days before he was scheduled to speak before the United Nations. He sought refuge at the Brazilian Embassy, where Zelaya said he is being subjected to toxic gases and radiation that alter his physical and mental state.
Haven’t we met this guy before?
Not to be indelicate, but if I were holed up in the Brazilian embassy for days on end, I, too might be complaining of toxic gases. (Have you been to their steakhouses?)
Up to this point, it was not clear to me what the president and secretary of state saw in this guy, but now that I see he’s cut from the same cloth as Chavez and Ahmadinejad, it’s very clear.

It would be nice if some reporter would ask Zelaya to explain why Israel cares about who is president of Honduras.
