Nicaragua's Ortega: US Intelligence Planned Honduran Coup

“(Delusional Daniel.)
By Blake Schmidt
July 17 (Bloomberg) -- Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said an alleged plot to overthrow him by U.S. intelligence agencies and domestic political opponents will fail because he has the backing of his country’s armed forces and police.
“They’re thinking about a coup in Nicaragua to create chaos and anarchy and to call U.S. troops to come take the government away from the people,” Ortega said in a statement on the presidential Web site.
Ortega and his allies in Latin America, including Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales, regularly say that their governments are the targets of coup plots. Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was deposed at the end of June and sent out of the country after he refused to obey court orders to reinstate the head of the military.
Ortega said Honduran business leaders and U.S. officials had a “hand” in the ouster, even if President “Barack Obama didn’t have any idea the coup was coming.”
Ortega also accused the acting Honduran government of dressing up its soldiers to look like Nicaraguan troops and attacking Honduran barracks in a plot to frame the Nicaraguan military.

“"zillions of dollars the Lehman Brothers CEO gave to Democrats."
Zillions no not even close just $158,800.00 to all or almost all democrats if you do not count Lieberman as a Democrat any more. So I am sure they are of upright demeanor and would never ever do anything that would diminish there standing with there constituents!
This guy was the president of Lehman I wonder is any of his cronies did also.”

w/hookers and booze, was brainwashed by the Vietnamese and has been an agent
of the Vietnamese regime ever since. The other main source is a newspaper published by Willis Carto, an explicit white supremacist, called The American Free Press, formerly The Spotlight.”

“Give Al Rantel credit. The gay San Francisco talk host is the first to call Cyndi anti-semitic because she would not support killing Moslems in Iraq. Al did not explain the Star of David held by the Jewish mother of a dead war veteran among the crosses held up outside the Crawford ranch by one of Cyndi's demonstrators.
Ron Paul is not a racist, neither is Cyndi. Nixon never thought of playing the race card against anti-war demonstrators even though he had an enemies list, but this anti-Moslem crusade is a DLC war in Iraq and the DLC loves to play the race card against their opponents.
Just like DLC darling Press played the race card on fat old Pat.”
