TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Efforts to return deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to power hit a new roadblock Sunday when the country's de facto government canceled an upcoming visit by foreign envoys who're seeking to resolve the Central American nation's six-week-old political crisis.
Honduras' interim government said it couldn't accept a delegation led by Jose Miguel Insulza, the secretary general of the Organization of American States, because of what it called his "lack of objectivity, impartiality and professionalism."

My Comment: As we have mentioned before, the interim Honduran Government is playing for time. Hondurans are going to the polls in the next few months, and as much as President Manuel Zelaya may insist that he is the legitimate leader of Honduras, after these Presidential elections are held he will no longer have any constitutional legitimacy to the government.
His options .... by then will be very limited, and none of them (I am sure) will be appetizing for him to pursue.
