In Honduras, Two Political Lines of the USA at work, states Jose
Vicente Rangel
Venezuelan Journalist Jose Vicente Rangel reported this sunday that
in Honduras two political lines of the United States were at work
before the coup plot was hatched against the constitutional president
of the country, Manuel Zelaya.
"In Honduras two distinct lines of north american politics revealed
themselves, one coming from the White House and the other through the
machinery put in place by the administration of George W. Bush at the
military base of Palmarola", he said.
Rangel explained that this became apparent on the morning of June 28,
when two important functionaries of the State Department, James
Steimberg and Tom Shannon, contacted the US embassy in Tegucigalpa
and the military base in Palmarola to discuss the coup d'etat and to
impede any intention to support it.
"In Honduras, in addition to the political slant of the State
Department, the line of the Pentagon operates through the military
base, whose chief, General Douglas Fraser, just days before the coup,
made two declarations against President Chavez. Fraser's
pronouncement was adopted at once by the coup regime of Micheletti",
commented Rangel.
He indicated this is why the US ambassador, Hugo Llorens, was forced
to pronounce opposition to the coup, at first with a certain reserve,
and later more emphatically.
En Honduras actuaron dos l?neas pol?ticas de EE.UU.,
afirma Jos? Vicente Rangel
El periodista venezolano Jos? Vicente Rangel denunci? este domingo
que en Honduras actuaron dos l?neas pol?ticas de Estados Unidos antes
de que se fraguara el golpe de Estado contra el presidente
constitucional de ese pa?s, Manuel Zelaya.
"En Honduras se hicieron presentes dos niveles de la pol?tica del
gobierno nor-teamericano, una proveniente de la Casa Blanca y otra de
la maquinaria que dej? montada la administraci?n de George W. Bush a
trav?s de la base militar implantada en la poblaci?n hondure?a de
Palmarola", sostuvo.
Rangel explic? que la raz?n es que en la madrugada del domingo 28 de
junio dos importantes funcionarios del Departamento de Estado, James
Steimberg y Tom Shannon, contactaron la embajada estadounidense en
Tegucigalpa y la base militar de Palmarola para advertir del golpe y
disuadir cualquier intento de apoyo.
"En Honduras operar?a, adem?s del Departamento de Estado, la l?nea
del Pent?gono a trav?s de la base militar cuyo jefe, el general
Douglas Fraser, d?as antes del golpe en ese pa?s, hizo declaraciones
contra el presidente (Hugo) Ch?vez, las cuales asumi? de inmediato el
gobierno usurpador de (Roberto) Micheletti", coment? Rangel.
Indic? que fue por esa situaci?n que el embajador estadounidense,
Hugo Llorens, se vio forzado a pronunciarse en contra de lo ocurrido,
con reservas al principio y luego en forma m?s categ?rica. (YVKE
