Coup in Honduras: Military Ousts President Manuel Zelaya Democracy Now 6/29/2009 2 of 2

In the first military coup in Central America in a quarter of a century the Honduran military has ousted the democratically-elected President Manuel Zelaya. Former Parliamentary speaker Roberto Micheletti who was sworn in as Zelayas replacement on Sunday has imposed a two-day nation-wide curfew. But hundreds of Zelaya supporters remain on the streets and shots were fired at protesters near the Presidential palace early Monday morning. We go to Honduras to speak with Honduran medical doctor and award-winning human rights activist, Dr. Juan Almendares and NYU professor of Professor of Latin American History, Greg Grandin.

I guess someone here needs to do a little more research...bigstU25

[csanchez2009]

not a coup?Historically, military coups in Latin America have been carried out by leaders trained at the US-run School of the Americas located in Fort Benning, Georgia. And today in Honduras, the military leaders in question, including General Vásquez, are former attendees of the controversial training center.

Research FULLY from BOTH sides before you talk on something, will ya?

[bigstU25]

This is not a coup! What are you talking about!

Hounduran Gov't is blocking out the liberal media who dont understand that Zelaya is a dictator like Obama and Chaves! CNN is BIAS Liberal media, only 30% of Honduras supports Zelaya! 70% of Hounduras wants Zelaya DEAD because he is trying to ruin Democracy in Honduras, get your facts straight!

What the hell are you talking about?

[bigstU25]

The dumb ass who titled this video did not do his or her research!

THIS WAS NOT A MILLITARY COUP THAT TOOK PLACE IN HONDURAS W/ ZELAYA! YOU GOT THAT?!?

This ws an IMPEACHMENT and ousting!

If this was a millitary Coup, then why the F**K isnt the Hounduran Army General, President right now? Or why didnt the General put somebody in power to be President?

If you did research instead of being a SUCKA for the media you would know CONGRESS & COURT put a cilvilian as President...

DUUUH!
