Guess who is getting this year´s Nobel Peace Prize ?

Hint: An esteemed world leader whose country is by far the world´s largest dealer in weapons of mass destruction, whose armies are actively engaged in invasion of at least two countries both of which are not nearly her match, who more than supports state terrorism by Israel in Middle East.

ABSOLUTELY NO KIDDING !

Errrr anything to do with this thread?

Do I read anything that I have not written myself?

Obviously not !

 Such a startling yet gracious admission!    It´s what made me laugh today!!

Again.. Please do not blame my President Barack Obama for the policies set forth by GEORGE W BUSH and DICK CHENEY. They were in power for EIGHT YEARS. How can my extremely liberal President undo what THEY did this quickly?

But your sentiments are shared also by the racist southerners of America. I wonder are your reasons for ridiculing my President the same as theirs?

Nobody is ridiculing your President. We just gave him the Nobel Peace Prize, didn´t we?

it`s always good to see naive people like you who believe that Obama is any different from the others. Is warmongering on the Afghanistan invasion and keeping the documents showing the crimes in Iraq secret the way how Obama "undos"  what America has done?  Has Obama lifted the fascistic American embargo on Cuba? any attempts? will he get Bush tried as a war criminal?any chance we will see this christian nazi hanged like what you did to Saddam?

so the president`s color has changed, so no one can hold America responsible for the genocide it has been carrying out in Iraq anymore right? what did Obama do for the 1 million of people his country genocided in Iraq?

btw, keep your racism accusations for your own fellow citizens, we are not familiar with the context of white oppression in America. you`re being as funny as those jews who accuse anyone criticizing Israel of "antisemitism".

Whether you admit or not,the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to United States President Barack Obama this year,is a surprise to many.

He has only been in office nine months and have not made any significant contributions to be a winner.

If it was next year, I think nobody would raise an eyebrow. 

  joke??    or  you think, in one year US will get rid of its double-faced warmongering politics with the leadership of Obama, really??

Its better to read the hint that AlphaF posted. FYI, war, colonization, weapon trade and interfering other countries internal affairs are the lifebloods of US. Thats why Obama is not able to deviate from these, because he is also directed by those well heeled neocons who are mainly jews. Obama can be a good person but he has no power, he was just chosen to mend the image of US so maybe his period will be a little uneventful but after then generally nothing will change...

Actually - for once I have to say GREAT POST!  100% agree!

I know as much or more about all these things as you all do. I am not from Mars. ..You haven´t got my point...After all nothing is static, everything flows, nothing abides,life is change...We can´t live without hopes and dreams...

so you both expected him to change all american politics in only 8 months? you funny guys

 I have yet to see any hint of a change in policy regarding Iraq and Afghanistan - he has had 8 months to do something - even a small thing - about this.

So you agree he should have got the peace prize?  you funny guy

Yes, i cant claim that you are from Mars, just i can hope.  Anyway, i agree that people need hopes and dreams, then you just hope that Obama will deserve the award in one year. It seems to me that you were nearly sure of that when you said "i think nobody would raise an eyebrow". In my opinion you should have swapped "i think" into "i hope or i dream" so it will be more clear...

 Just one small point, Afganistan is a NATO led operation and Turkey is part of that, and he has had some talks with Raol in Cuba, but would not Cuba be far better off without Americans invading their country and taking over????

 I have to agree with you Armegon, sadly the president is but a puppet of his administration.  But I wonder if he still would have received the prize had he not become president and it would not be sitting in the hands of John McCain and being polished by Sarah Palin??  Well I am glad that it is Obama in power right now and not the republican alternative.

I am sure the attention this has received in the media will surely make the prize givers think twice about how and who they choose as their target.  Obama through no fault of his own has gone from Mr Popular to Mr Unpopular overnight.

 I wish there was life on Mars and I was from that lovely planet, but unfortunatelly not.My blood is as red as yours. I have no antennas on head, nor my ears are like Mr.Spock´s from Star Trek.Like it or not you share this planet with me. In general what you all say is true but this doesn´t mean things will be same as ever before.Everything changes.You will see things changed from worst to worse,if not from worse to bad.United States needs to change its image. Let´s say he is not elected but selected by the hidden powers on purpose to change the United States´ bad image among the third world countries, even this proves that something will change in the next years. I don´t think Nobel committee consists of fools.It is clear that they awarded Obama based on expectations...in order to encourage him for his attendance... 

I would not say ther are all fools, either....

 I confess now that I could swear they were fools when they awarded O.Pamuk (2006 literature prize)

 Hmmm I have to agree - he may not be the best author in Turkey but at least he can claim to be the most popular (worldwide)!!!

popular?...may be most favored,,,,,

 Most favoured?  Maybe just has the best agent/publisher

 Sometimes, I like you....I REALLY LIKE YOU!  Can I take you to lunch?

The man says "My name is Red".....check what it means in terms of kaballah !

As i said you are being from mars is just a hope like the hope that Obama wont mislead those not fool Nobel committee. You havent got my point

...Okay, I get that people don´t agree with Obama getting the price, but it´s not SUCH a big deal. Do people actually remember all the people who have gotten this price in the past? We only remember the ones we already knew from other stuff.

That Obama hardly had time to deserve a peace prize in the Office is correct, but not the main concern. The main concern is that Nobel Prize, as a Western institution, may be a total farce.

So, what else may be rotten in the Western Kingdom?

how long will you keep saying "price" instead of prize?

 Maybe they will give oscar to mahsun´s film güneþi gördüm ...

...okay, what did Obama do to deserve this price?

He reduced high tensions that were felt worldwide. After Bush was kicked out of office, the current administration in the U.S. has opened talks again with a lot of nations that they didn´t talk to before. Talking is always a first step to peace. Yes, there are still troops active world-wide, but it´s totally not logical to expect somebody to retreat all troops in one day. This is not possible, and not constructive. Second, the whole laser high tech satelite anti-rocket shield isn´t an issue anymore, since Obama is president. Third, he has inspired a lot of people that you can fight the odds, and you can get what you want if you go for it, struggle for it.

He didn´t get the price for nothing. You can disagree with the reasons, but you cannot say that the committee just liked the sound of the name Obama and give the price for that reason.

 Perhaps dear Alpha, you should say, Was is NOT rotten  in the Western Kingdom (of which there is not King?)
