Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Best justification of this award I've heard so far this morning was "Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for not being George W Bush." Heard that on "Today." Unreal. His policies on Iran, NK and even Afghanistan are on a similar path as Bush's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Peace Prize? He just dropped a bomb on the Moon for Gods sake. Starting a war with another Planet is not a really good idea when you've just won the Nobel Peace prize. The Moon is not a planet. It is, well, a moon. A natural satellite orbiting a larger body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you find it odd that the video cut out before impact? Or supposed impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am happy that our President got it cause I love this country. If you don't love it, I guess that's your decision. President BO getting awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is like Sarah Palin being appointed Chief Justice of The Supreme Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong 'stan'. It was what to do about Pakistan. Should he address the nation to make his case for a full on invasion of Pakistan then yes, he will have my support 100%. Put that in your quote line. And yes, he is a !@#$ing clown. That much we agree on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finknottle Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 And out of that numerous foreign troops, how many have been deployed for active combat duty? Very few. Broadly speaking, most nations are restricted from operations outside of their area of deployment, and most are deployed in safe regions - even if available for combat in principal, in practice they cannot leave their defined zone, typically somewhere safe like Kabul or the quieter north or west. The heavy lifting, the fighting in the south and along the Pakistani border, is the problem of the US, the UK, and Canada. (Indeed, NATO didn't even extend it's operations into the combat zones until 2006!) Many countries have further restrictions which can prohibit things like operations in urban areas all the way up to prohibiting combat itself. http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=4286208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently, the DOD feels it necessary to make all branches out to be the same- I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of branches altogether, which would be hailed as a "cost saving move", but would send us reeling backwards into inefficiency *GAG* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 You can win on vision, it is "peace"... Not chemistry... But, you knew that [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch? Find me ANY other winner of the Nobel Peace Prize that won on "vision" without actually doing a damned thing. MOST of the laureates work for years on international issues before they get an award. Some - Woodrow Wilson's award for the League of Nations, and Roosevelt's for negotiating an end to the Russo-Japanese War, for example - are awarded much more quickly, but represent very real accomplishments. But no one has ever "won" on vision - unless they've worked that vision for years, and actually accomplished something related to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Duck! Incoming, I hate to break up the conservative cirlce jerk that is going on: Think about it, we are in these colossal messes not because Carter, Gore got their way... And don't worry, all you will get your way and Obama will be out in 3 years. Oh, and I consider Clinton one of the best "republican" presidents of all time. It is just priceless watching everybody kick up an ADD hissy, stomp their feet and whine... Thank you Nobel board, you made things priceless! I want it now daddy! After 30 years of failure... No wonder Americans have a short attention span and expect Obama to wave a magic wand. We will be back to "normal" in 2012 with the conservatives (and dems in conservative clothes) screwing things up like they did for the last 30 years.

Star appeal is everything. What you said about Bush and Obama is fitting and right on. Take up your hissy with the Nobel board... I didn't pick him.

Magox Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Looks like the Taliban are pissed, but that's not the main story here: http://www.financialpost.com/scripts/story.html?id=2085707 AFP Published: Friday, October 09, 2009 KABUL -- The Taliban Friday condemned the decision to award this year's Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama, saying he had "not taken a single step towards peace in Afghanistan". "We have seen no change in his strategy for peace. He has done nothing for peace in Afghanistan. He has not taken a single step for peace in Afghanistan or to make this country stable," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP. "We condemn the award of the Noble Peace Prize for Obama," he said by telephone from an undisclosed location. "We condemn the institute's awarding him the peace prize. We condemn this year's peace prize as unjust." Jesus or Allah, talk about redundancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
