That's Yasser :lmao:, but your right.

That's Yasser :lmao:, but your right.

:lmao: Yasser, Yasar, Yasur, whatever.... Still, the man deserved it as much as Obama! :dunno:

I guess that means ignoring your troops in Afghanistan makes you a man of peace in the eyes of the nobel people. I am anouncing I have awarded him my prize for king douche bag of the year!!!

:rockon::rockon::rockon:

Logged on to the computer and saw this story first thing. NOT the way to wake up. What a crock!

When I heard this on the radio this morning I kept waiting for the punchline.... It didn't come.... I still don't get it...

Crock of crap for sure

no way deserving of this

Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and now Obama. Doesn't surprise me....not one bit. The panel is Marxist leaning, social "justice" supporting, global government advocating, and agenda driven. Very predictable.

This isn't related but, My dad sent me this today...I thought it was right on point.

"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything.... that the government does not first take from somebody else.
When half of the people get the idea.... that they do not have to work because.... the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work...... because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."*

Is it April 1st already??

OSLO – President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a stunning decision designed to build momentum behind his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

So...designed to build momentum in globalism and pacifism....

Many observers were shocked by the unexpected choice so early in the Obama presidency, which began less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline and has yet to yield concrete achievements in peacemaking.
Merit?

Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said their choice could be seen as an early vote of confidence in Obama intended to build global support for his policies. They lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen the U.S. role in combating climate change.
Again, a momentum builder for an agenda based on the promise of globalism and pacifism.

Aagot Valle, a lawmaker for the Socialist Left party who joined the committee this year, said she hoped the selection would be viewed as "support and a commitment for Obama."

"And I hope it will be an inspiration for all those that work with nuclear disarmament and disarmament," she told The Associated Press in a rare interview.
Does anyone wonder why the lawmaker from the Socialist Left party used the word "disarmament" twice? Hint: It has something to do with a global ban on small arms.

The peace prize was created partly to encourage ongoing peace efforts but Obama's efforts are at far earlier stages than past winners'. The Nobel committee acknowledged that they may not bear fruit at all.

After the prize was announced, Jagland compared the decision to give it to Obama to the prize was given to German Chancellor Willy Brandt in 1971 for his "Ostpolitik" policy of trying to find common ground with Eastern Europe, which was under Communist sway.
Yet, Reagan, who did more to ensure the freedom of Eastern Europe than perhaps any other, is mocked by the international community.

He said the same thing was true when then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev got the prize in 1990 after he had launched perestroika and glasnost, and allowed Eastern Europe to emerge from Kremlin control.
Done after years of pressure levied upon the Soviets by the US under the leadership of Reagan from a position of strength.

In Europe and much of the world he is lionized for bringing the United States closer to mainstream global thinking on issues like climate change and multilateralism.
My comments on this topic are becoming redundant.

Obama's election and foreign policy moves caused a dramatic improvement in the image of the U.S. around the world. A 25-nation poll of 27,000 people released in July by the Pew Global Attitudes Project found double-digit boosts to the percentage of people viewing the U.S. favorably in countries around the world. That indicator had plunged across the world under President George W. Bush.
So it's based on image instead of merit.

He's running a second war in the Muslim world, in Afghanistan — and is seriously considering ramping up the number of U.S. troops on the ground and asking for help from others, too.
I'm sure this prize and its timing has nothing to do with an agenda to discourage the increase of American troops.:rolleyes: Maybe just enough to provide more targets, but not enough to ensure victory?:dunno: Listen to your generals and ensure undeniable victory, or bring them all home and concede defeat!:mad:

Obama has said that battling climate change is a priority. But the U.S. seems likely to head into crucial international negotiations set for Copenhagen in December with Obama-backed legislation still stalled in Congress.
"Battling climate change" is strongly linked, if not synonymous with redistribution of wealth and socialist policy throughout the world. Agenda anyone?

Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, which are awarded by Swedish institutions, the peace prize is given out by a five-member committee elected by the Norwegian Parliament. Like the Parliament, the committee has a leftist slant, with three members elected by left-of-center parties. Jagland said the decision to honor Obama was unanimous.
Well, duh!

The award appeared to be at least partly a slap at Bush from a committee that harshly criticized Obama's predecessor for his largely unilateral military action in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Do ya think?:rolleyes:

The Nobel committee praised Obama's creation of "a new climate in international politics" and said he had returned multilateral diplomacy and institutions like the U.N. to the center of the world stage.
Globalism, and placing the corrupt U.N. above the interests of the United States.

"You have to remember that the world has been in a pretty dangerous phase," Jagland said. "And anybody who can contribute to getting the world out of this situation deserves a Nobel Peace Prize."

The Nobel committee chairman said after awarding the 2002 prize to former Democratic President Jimmy Carter, for his mediation in international conflicts, that it should be seen as a "kick in the leg" to the Bush administration's hard line in the buildup to the Iraq war.
Move along....nothing to see here! Agenda? What agenda?:rolleyes:

Five years later, the committee honored Bush's adversary in the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore, for his campaign to raise awareness about global warming.
See above.

Obama also has attempted to restart stalled talks between the Israelis and Palestinians, but just a day after Obama hosted the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in New York, Israeli officials boasted that they had fended off U.S. pressure to halt settlement construction. Moderate Palestinians said they felt undermined by Obama's failure to back up his demand for a freeze.
Way to go, Barry! You go get those mean Israelis! It's not like they are the only free, non-fundamentalist, non-terrorist regime in the whole middle east...oh, wait...they are.

In his 1895 will, Alfred Nobel stipulated that the peace prize should go "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses."FAIL.

The committee has taken a wide interpretation of Nobel's guidelines, expanding the prize beyond peace mediation to include efforts to combat poverty, disease and climate change.
By what means, may I ask?

Beautifully put.

What do these fine men all have in common ?
They all are trying to make the world a better place.

Now I am surprised President Obama was given this honor.
He is just getting started. That's my view of this news.

I think depending on where you are in the world you see things differently.
Most of the world is probably so relieved to be rid of Bush that Obama looks great.

In my world, Obama doesnt look so good... the rest of the world liked him because they are all benefiting from him being in office while we suffer because of it. GLOBAL REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.... That is what this guy is all about...

When governments take the hard earned property of the people to make "everyone equal", everyone will be equally beholden to the government. What have those "fine men" done to promote world peace?
