Military backs Zelaya's return to power

The Honduran armed forces issued a communiqué on Saturday indicating that they would not stand in the way of an agreement to return Manuel Zelaya, the country’s ousted president, to power.

The communiqué was drafted in Washington after days of talks between mid-level Honduran officers and American Congressional aides. Posted on the Honduran Armed Forces Web site, it endorsed the so-called San José Accord.

The accord, supported by most governments in the hemisphere, would allow Mr. Zelaya to return as president.

I don`t think it`s true, because telesur is not reporting this, and they would be happy for Chavez if the military is supporting Zelaya.

Vlad, I know it is probably beyond you, but saying that they won't stand in the way of an agreement is not the same thing as supporting his return. Another pathetic false title, but not surprising when you take who the OP is into account.

I just find it somewhat pathetic, all it does is decrease the perception of the integrity of the OP, assuming they had any left.

Fact #1
The military endorsed the San Jose Accord.

Fact #2
The San Jose Accord re-instates Zelaya as President of Honduras.

Again, the miltary endorsed this, so.......doesn't that mean the military endorses the reinstatement of Zelaya?

Are you complaining that I used the word "back" in the title instead of "endorse" :)

Do you really want us to believe you were not being wantonly deceitful? And if you honestly didn't know the difference, well that doesn't much for you either.
