WTF?! Warmonger President Obama Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? Excuse Me While I Vomit!
So let me get this straight. The new president of the United States empire who has been in office less than 9 months but has already proven bayond a doubt to be just as much of a warmonger as President Bush and has gone back on all his biggest pre-election promises to end the fraudulent war in the Middle East, but instead has expanded the war of agression in Afganistan while NOT ending the war of aggression in Iraq, is a peace maker? In fact, not only has this lying POS expanded the fraudulent "War on Terror" (read War of Terror), he has also defended torture, provided critical support for an illigitimate regime called Israel which through their illegal enslavement and occupation of Palestine and Gaza has created the largest concentration camp in the world, while participating in the same, identical, lying drum-beating war rhetoric against Iran that was used to start the war of aggression in Iraq and continuing to perpetuate the lie (now going on more than a year) that Iran threatened to "wipe Israel off the map".
This is beyond nonsensical. Even Orwell would roll in his grave at this mind boggling farce.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. It is not merely that at present the rule of naked force obtains almost everywhere… Bully-worship, under various disguises, has become a universal religion, and such truisms as that a machine-gun is still a machine-gun even when a "good" man is squeezing the trigger… have turned into heresies. – George Orwell, Review of Power: A New Social Analysis by Bertrand Russell in Adelphi (January 1939)
Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.– Tacitus, Agricola, (98), end of ch. 30.
Translation: To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace. Oxford Revised Translation (at Project Gutenberg)
Tacitus is quoting the British chief, Calgacus, in his speech to British soldiers, stating the irony between Rome’s acts of empire and the inscription upon Roman medals of "peace given to the world." Solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant (they make a desert, and call it peace) is often quoted alone

What's unfair about this is
What's unfair about this is that Kissinger had to blow Cambodia apart before he got his prize, but Obama gets the prize when he's only just got started on Pakistan. They should have at least waited until he had some more successful Latin American coups like Allende's overthrow under his belt. These days they just give out the awards before the real work has got going.
Well written Keenan.
I pasted your blog entry at one of my pet sites (and credited you, of course). I can not fathom why he was awarded this.
He won the award on the same
He won the award on the same day he was convening his war counsel to weigh whether to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan to turn the tide against a resurgent Taliban.
Nobel Committee Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland rejected suggestions from journalists that Obama was getting the prize too early. "We hope this can contribute a little bit to enhance what he is trying to do," he told a news conference.
On other pressing issues, Obama is still searching for breakthroughs on Iran's disputed nuclear program, on stalled Middle East peacemaking and the fight against climate change.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK OBAMA IS TRYING TO DO?
Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh ... said that if Iran were not further sanctioned by this Christmas Israel would attack the country.

How to win a Nobel Peace
How to win a Nobel Peace Prize in 12 days
by Tommy DeSeno
President Obama has broken new ground here. Nominations to win the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ended February 1. The President took office only 12 days earlier on January 20.
Let’s take a look at the President’s first 12 days in office from his publicized schedule to see what he did to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize:
January 20: Went to a parade. Partied.
January 21: Asked bureaucrats to re-write guidelines for information requests. Held an “open house” party at the White House.
January 22: Signed Executive Orders: Executive Branch workers to take ethics pledge; Re-affirmed Army Field Manuel Techniques for Interrogations; Expressed desire to close Gitmo (how’s that working out?);
January 23: Ordered the release of federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries. Lunch with Joe Biden; met with Tim Geithner.
January 24: Budget meeting with economic team.
January 25: Skipped church.
January 26: Gave speech about jobs and energy. Met with Hillary Clinton. Attended Geithner swearing in ceremony.
January 27: Met with Republicans. Spoke at a clock tower in Ohio.
January 28: Economic meetings in the morning, met with Defense secretary in the afternoon.
January 29: Signed Ledbetter Bill overturning US Supreme Court decision on lawsuits over wages. Party in the State Room. Met with Biden.
January 30: Met economic advisors. Gave speech on Middle Class Working Families Task Force. Met with senior enlisted military officials.
January 31: Took the day off.
February 1: Skipped church. Threw a Super Bowl party.
So there you have it. The short path to the Nobel Peace Prize: Party, go to meetings, skip church, abort some fetuses, party some more.
Good grief.
