...To give a peace prize to the commander-in-chief of a war machine now churning its way through the populations of three countries (Iraq/Af-Pak), with innumerable black ops, lightning raids and drone shots on the side .... to a man who even as we speak is deciding just how he wants to kill even more civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan ... a man who has enthusiastically embraced as "an extraordinary achievement" one of the most heinous and barbaric acts of military aggression since Hitler rolled across the border into Poland ... a man who blusters about leaving "all options on the table," including the use of mass-murdering nuclear weapons, to bully other nations into compliance with American wishes ... to give a peace prize to such a man, while all over the world, there are men and women who have devoted their entire lives to non-violence and reconciliation, many of them suffering imprisonment, torture and ruin for their efforts ... well, like I said, it's beyond words.
But it's good to see that the spirit of arms merchant Alfred Nobel -- purveyor and profiteer of death and destruction -- is being honored so perfectly with today's award...
Perhaps this all falls in the realm of telling a lion he's a nice kitty so he won't look at you when his stomach growls. It does seem the Euro thing to try to modify unspeakable behavior with this prize. At least one good thing likely comes of this: Petraeus Caesar and his Dog of War McChrystal are pissed.
Barry O. gets the Nobel and Petraeus gets his prostate rotor rooted.
Oh well, there's no reason for the Dog of War to worry.
No, really: Barack Obama just used his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech to reiterate his threats against Iran.
War is Peace, baby. That's Change you can Believe in.
