Re: The (Ig)noble "Peace" (Sur)prize.........

Sorry to be the last (and late) to post a thought or
two about the debacle of last Friday, but I've got
to say something about the travesty of the awarding
of the Nobel Peace Prize.
I rather imagine that Nobel, himself, is trying to
return to ask those who are misusing his name and
intentions. It's difficult to think that the inventor of
dynamite, among other explosives, expected to
have such an earth-shaking event that dishonors
his name.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Maybe we don't
want to know, as so much has been written and said
about the political and economical implications of
choosing who they did.
WHAT WERE THEY SMOKING? Who knows, but
they caused hallucinations and dumbstruckness in
the most of the civilized world.
IS THIS A JOKE? When I first heard the announcement,
I was literally shocked. I'm thinking as many others,
"This can't be true." "On what basis?" "Where is there
'peace' today because of him?"
IF THE AWARD IS INTENDED TO HONOR ONE
WHO TALKS A LOT AND DOES VERY LITTLE, then
I understand. If anything, the words of the awardee
are causing strife and fear that hadn't existed before
his speeches and apologies for America! Peace? Huh.
THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE HAS LOST ITS
PRESTIGE AND LUSTER! Pity those who will
follow in getting this now-questionable honor! How
can this man possibly measure up to those great
men and women who have, indeed, succeeded in
the cause and quest for world peace?
In "Washington Insider" by Ronald Kessler, found
at http://www.neswmax.com/, numerous sources are
quoted, not the least of which is Peggy Noonan in
a Wall Street Journal piece: "This is an award for
not being George Bush." THINK ABOUT IT!
All of the bashing that "Barry" and his comrades
have done about the former President, and they
have yet to get dust on their shoes for anything
near George W.'s accomplishments!
Mr. Bush toppled Sadam Hussein, who had killed
300,000 people, tortured numerous thousands,
and dominated 50 million in his country.
Hussein had electric prods attached to genitals,
gave acid baths, drilled holes in ankles and skulls,
put naked people into refrigerators for days,
cut off tongues and ears, and forced Iraqi men to
watch forced rapes of their wives and sisters.
THAT ALONE QUALIFIES GEORGE W. FOR
RECOGNITION!!
Add to this the fact that Afghan women can now
attend school, don't have to be accompanied in
public by a man, and are allowed to hold jobs,
and Mr. Bush is a "shoe-in"!!
THERE'S MORE! Because of the $15 BILLION
sent to Africa to fight AIDS, deaths are down
dramatically, and Bush's approval rating in that
continent is at 80 percent or higher!
WHAT IS "BARRY'S" APPROVAL RATE ANYWHERE?
Because of President George W. Bush's quick and
determined action, the world, especially the U.S.A. is
safer than before 9/11! YOU'D BETTER BE
THANKFUL THAT WE ARE STILL FREE AND
SAFER!
Were there other candidates more qualified than
"Barry"? YES! Dozens of them. WHAT WAS THE
COMMITTEE THINKING/ WHAT ARE THEY
SMOKING?
I'm anxious to hear the "acceptance speech" - it's
got to be a doosy (sic)!
P.S. - I didn't hear - did "Barry" fly over to talk
to the committee before they made their choice?
HA-HA! "Tambourines and elephants, grazing
in the grass, take a ride on a flying spoon......".
