Zelaya to address UN assembly on Tuesday

From the AP

Two days after his ouster as Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya will appear before the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday seeking support among its 192 member nations.

Zelaya plans to address the assembly that serves as a forum for world debate at 11 a.m. (1500 GMT), said Enrique Yeves, a spokesman for Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann...

D'Escoto invited Zelaya to make the address at U.N. headquarters...

President Barack Obama on Monday declared that the United States still considers Zelaya to be the president of Honduras and described the military coup that forced him into exile as "not legal."...

I wonder if Obama will make a special appearance at the UN Tuesday to demonstrate his solidarity with the corrupt former Honduran president. [and maybe Obama could invite Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro to join him]

On Sunday, Mr. Brockmann issued a press release, accusing Barack Obama of being behind the coup:

"D’Escoto is making a special appeal to the President of the United States, Barack Obama, who recently at the summit in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, announced a new policy towards Latin America. 'Many are now asking if this coup is part of this new policy as it is well known that the army in Honduras has a history of total collaboration with the United States. In order to eliminate any doubt, it is absolutely necessary that President Obama immediately condemns the coup against President Zelaya.'"

I wonder if Mr. Brockmann's press relase had any bearing on Obama's decision to denounce the coup.

Hmmm....
