Mikey, not to slam the Bush administration, but Obama was elected into the situation of a country in two wars. Bringing a satisfactory close to these very complex geopolitical wars is not something he can do by just throwing a switch.
Right or wrong, the Nobel committee was awarding him on his goals not his current situation. Now, whether this award criteria is correct or incorrect is a question for the committee. Did anyone notice Obama is donating the award money? Something over a million dollars US. THAT is impressive no matter what one thinks of the man's politics. |

Did I say it should be a president? I don't remember Carter invading anyone or escalating anyones quagmire so he blows clintoon away. Actually the last person to be considered for the nobel peace prize should be the president of the country that is responsible for more unneeded death than the rest of the world combined including mother israel.

In this world of 'Image is Everything',
'Believe the Hype' war slogans, People who Whistle Blow get fired, and Self Aggrandizing Honor for Inadequacy, It's time to Hype the Peace! (It doesn't matter if it is true or not; it never did anyway)

He was nominated 10 days after becoming president.
We should all meet again here in 3 months to see if he cuts down on the killing anywhere. Place your bets, gentlemen. Put your rep on the line. I say more killing in 3 months. If I'm wrong. . .goodbye forever YaHooka.

That pic is assuredly false...Bush would never use a word like 'lucrative.'

Wealthy Secret Societies helped Hitler become very well funded, by both sides:
![]() ![]() Pictures of Nazi Catholic Vaticanites (more pictures) ![]() ![]() ![]() Not to mention: The Vril, The Thule, and Skull & Bones The Decadent Worker “Despite the efforts to break up the coal and steel empires into smaller units, most of them have in fact come together again. The one victory the Allied ‘decartelisers’ can point to is that the Verinigte Stahlwerks, the notorious giant steel cartel that dominated the Ruhr before the war, has not been re-formed. But even that is only a hollow victory, for the Thyssen Group, welded in 1963 out of just two segments of it, is today far bigger than the old VS ever was. Similarly with IG Farben, the mammoth chemical concern, which was split into three by the Allied ‘trust-buster’ — now each of the three offshoots is larger than its former parent!..” (p. 280) Significantly, it was John J. McCloy, who later served on the Warren Commission and who had worked for Morgan banking interests (which I believe are involved in financing the Vril Burgs) who pardoned from war crimes the notorious German industrialist, Alfried Krupp: “He had also to many people’s surprise decided to cancel the order confiscating Krupp’s properties — it had not been expected he would go quite that far. McCloy’s justification for his generosity was that no other war criminal had been punished this way: ‘Confiscation of personal (sic) property does not belong to the practices of our legal system and in general is in contradiction to the American conception of justice.’…” (pp. 233-4) No other war criminal was rich enough to be punished that way! These quotes are from The House of Krupp by Peter Batty (Stein and Day, 1967), a book that also explains how the Russians became post-war customers of Krupp steel and uranium, although not as soon as they would have liked. Evidently American bankers were alarmed and many negotiations “broke down on credit terms.” Not to be daunted by that much, however, “Kruschev himself took a hand in the next stage of the wooing when, at the Leipzig Trade Fair in the following March, that is March of 1959, he made the East German press drop their usual denunciations of Krupps as warmongers, and of Alfried in particular as a convicted war criminal. Moreover, he visited the Krupp stand at the Fair and drank a toast to the firm out of a Krupp stainless steel tumbler filled with French Cognac, expressing regret that the head of the House was not there in person, but sending Alfried his good wishes all the same. Today, Alfried’s name no longer appears on the Soviet list of war criminals and until quite recently the House of Krupp maintained a permanent office in Moscow…” (pp. 257-258) Was Chernobyl built for the Russians by Krupp? I am asking. “Luce (the founder of Time Magazine) too was to be a good friend of Krupp’s, for in August 1957, on the occasion of “Alfried’s fiftieth birthday, a largely complementary cover-story entitled The House that Krupp Built appeared in Time magazine. Time’s proprietor was also believed to be instrumental in Alfried’s getting a visa to attend a conference for international businessmen and statesmen which his magazine was sponsoring in San Francisco that same autumn, at which Alfried had been invited to speak on ‘The Partnership Approach.’…” (p. 253)
