NEW YORK (AP) - Brazil's president says he has asked deposed Honduras President Manuel Zelaya not to provide a pretext for coup leaders to invade the Brazilian embassy.
| As if Mel needs to be prodded ... |
"Pretext" is not the same thing as "reason." I'd be more concerned with providing them a "reason."
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he spoke with Zelaya by phone on Tuesday morning. Zelaya has been holed up at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa since Monday, when he slipped back into the country.
"You'll never take me alive, coppers! I got diplomatic immunity!"
| Since the leftie thugs he, Hugo and the Cubans have been prepping are now just about ready to make their move ... |
Silva said that by allowing Zelaya into its embassy, Brazil only did what any democratic country would do.
| Well no, democratic countries generally stay out of other democracies internal power struggles. |
I can't recall another instance of a "democratic" country's embassy giving a would-be dictator a place to hole up until his hard boyz hit the streets.
Supported by the U.S. and other governments since his ouster, Zelaya has called for negotiations with the leaders who forced him from the country at gunpoint. But interim President Roberto Micheletti has urged Brazil to turn Zelaya over to Honduran authorities for trial.
| Unfortunately the Hondurans should have kept Mel, jugged him and tried him. |
