Fidel: Honduras is occupied by the U.S.

Honduras today "is a country occupied not only by the coup-plotters but also by the armed forces of the United States," writes Fidel Castro in his latest article, published Saturday in the Cuban media.
Castro reminds his readers that "the military base at Soto Cano [...] was used by Col. Oliver North when he directed the dirty war against Nicaragua." From there, the United States directed "attacks against the Salvadoran and Guatemalan revolutionaries. [...] It is home to the United States' Joint Task Force Bravo [...] which occupies 85 percent of the area of the base."
"If President Manuel Zelaya is not returned to his post, a wave of coups d'état threatens to wipe out many Latin American governments or place them at the mercy of extreme-right military officers" trained by the Pentagon, Castro warns. "Those dark days are not very distant," he writes.
Castro then gives Zelaya some advice. He should "not now admit any dilatory maneuvers that might wear out the considerable social forces that support him and only lead to an irreparable erosion."

Fidel and Hugo Chavez are the single 2 most buttheads in the hemisphere!
Some occupation. They have one base in a small town. The town's population is about 150,000.
They are not armed. They dont have any fighter jets or attack helicopters.
They simply perform humanitarian duties and assist with natural disasters in the region.
Fidel and Chavez are behind the advice that this idiot Zelaya has been listening to and has ruined his country. Now Fidel and Chavez are advising him to make an unrest and civil war in the country instead of focusing on elections and a new leader.
