Ha. All he does is fly around in a private jet meeting with celebrities while his people suffer and die.

The Dali Lama? Is he the surrealist spiritual leader of Tibet?

I vote for him - anyone who drives around in ferraris and pounds 18 yr olds is definitely into "Piece" I mean Peace !

The Nobel Committee's tradition is long and inglorious, but for the well-informed no surprise. Consider its past honorees:
-- Henry Kissinger;

-- Shimon Peres;

-- Yitzhak Rabin;

-- Menachem Begin;

-- FW de Klerk;

-- Al Gore;

-- The Dalai Lama, a covert CIA asset;

-- Kofi Annan, a reliable imperial war supporter;

-- UN Peacekeeping (Paramilitary) Forces that foster more conflicts than they resolve;

-- Elie Wiesel, a hawkish Islamophobe;

-- Norman Borlaug, whose "green revolution" wheat strains killed millions;

-- Medecins Sans Frontieres, co-founded by rabid war hawk Bernard Kouchner, now France's Minister of Foreign and European Affairs;

-- Woodrow Wilson who broke his pledge to keep "us out of war,"

-- Jimmy Carter who backed an array of tyrants and drew the Soviets into its Afghan quagmire that took a million or more lives;

-- George C. Marshall, instrumental in creating NATO and waging war against North Korea;

-- Theodore Roosevelt who once said "I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one;" and other undeserving winners...."War is peace," what Orwell understood and why the award legitimizes wars and the leaders who wage them.

Granting the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama provides legitimacy to the illegal practices of war, to the military occupation of foreign lands, to the relentless killings of civilians in the name of "democracy".

:up: Excellent post as I was unaware of its' honorees.

Wasn't Yasser Arafat a recipient as well?

With all due respect.....That is the dumbest thing I have read here since you posted that video blaming 9/11 on the US government.

And what was so bad about that? In case you have forgotten it was North Korea who invaded the south.

You forgot such winners as:
Algore: Has made millions of his lie

Rigoberta Menchú: Entire life is a lie

International Atomic Energy Agency: Supporter of Terrorist nations

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: Anti-Business, Anti- Freedom organization.

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev: Last leader of a regime that has killed more people than any other entity in the history of man......100 million +

The rest of your post is, typically, bonkers right-wing nut-job nonsense for the most part, but I agree with you about Marshall. His contribution to the security of post-war Europe was significant, at a time when it would have been easy for the US to just walk away.
