Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has called on the US to play a more active role in bringing down the coup leaders in Honduras, describing the situation in the country as "explosive".

Chavez, on his weekly TV show Alo Presidente on Sunday, urged Washington to withdraw its forces from Palmerola military base 80 kilometers away from capital Tegucigalpa which it jointly runs with the Honduran military.

"If the US really does not back the coup it should withdraw its troops from the Palmerola military base," Chavez said, Xinhua reported.

Since the military coup in Honduras two weeks ago, President Barack Obama has strived to stay clear of what is going on in the Central American nation.

The White House has managed to cancel 16.5 million dollars of military aid to Honduras following the coup on June 28, but continues to provide the coup-stricken nation with millions more in other types of aid.

Despite describing the coup as illegal, Washington has remained its top diplomat in Honduras.

Comrades, be careful of collaborating with the enemy; it builds false hopes and leads to dissappointment. Expose capitalist lies, their demagoguery, their hypocracy, their neofascist hidden agendas. Don't try to organize their followers, or depend on their public statements. Obama and his administration is as bad as the Bush administration and worse; living with an unknown enemy is worse than living with a known enemy. If Bush and his followers are fascist then Obama and his are neofascist. Any statement we put out: 1) must be in the context of the socialist revolution; 2) must show where the socialist revolution stands in relation to capitalism; 3) must expose capitalist statements and set forth the next step forward. The Communist Party Statement on Honduras Crisis [CPUSA Statement] nowhere mentions items such as imperialism, military bases, funding of velvet revolution (via such organizations as USAID, NED, The Albert Einstein Institution), socialism, capitalism, multi-national corporations, revolution. How does the Honduras coup fit into the socialist revolution?, Where is the exposure of capitalist manoeuvering?, Where is the next step? Communists, workers of the world, our organizations are subject to infiltration by the enemy who betray the basic laws of human development tought in scientific communism. We must expel these traitors from our midst and change our organizations and constitutions to keep abrest with the development of the people.
