Obama wins Nobel Prize for what?

Published October 12, 2009

US President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize for what? For sending more troops to Afghanistan, letting troops stay in Iraq until 2012, attacking the tribal areas of Pakistan with drones and NOT being able to stop the Terrorist State of Israel from building more and more settlements in the West Bank and NOT being able to punish it for committing war crimes in Gaza? Furthermore, the Kerry-Lugar Bill, if implemented, is going to make things worse for Pakistan, particularly by putting the country's security at risk.

This is the Noble (pun intended) Committee that never got round to giving Gandhi the award and whose literature department has yet to discover somebody called Chinua Achebe.

This time the Nobel instead of exploding dynamite has dropped a nuke. Bravo!
