Hmmmm.The Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo awards the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union for peaceful reconciliation after World War II and spreading democracy.
pretty much.When Obama can win one for just being POTUS is a clear sign this "peace" prize has to be scrapped.
I thought it was after Al Gore won for making a movie about global warming?When Obama can win one for just being POTUS is a clear sign this "peace" prize has to be scrapped.
Many saw it as a down payment on Iraq and Afghanistan and he has duly delivered. He's ended the Iraq war and says he will be out by 2014.pretty much.
after that i lost any care on who won. its a joke. give it to obama? for what? being black and not bush?
He has done no such thing, but you spilt some Kool-aide on your shirt.He's ended the Iraq war and says he will be out by 2014.
He actually was increasing the number of people at war while accepting a prize for peace...Many saw it as a down payment on Iraq and Afghanistan and he has duly delivered. He's ended the Iraq war and says he will be out by 2014.
You don't normally award prizes for things people promise to do in the future.Many saw it as a down payment on Iraq and Afghanistan and he has duly delivered. He's ended the Iraq war and says he will be out by 2014.
EU and Obama are definitely jokes, but that doesn't mean the other winners necessarily deserved them as well.*cough*It's kind of odd when you have winners like Martin Luther King, Gorbachev, George Marshall, and Mother Teresa along side Obama and the EU.
I'm not a big fan of these pity prizes lately.
Nelson Mandela?When an active terrorist was given the peace prize, it stopped being about peace.
There are always exceptions.You don't normally award prizes for things people promise to do in the future.
Why? Because he said FU to israel? Yay him.When an active terrorist was given the peace prize, it stopped being about peace.
Yeah, I didn't think that Menachem Begin deserved the prize either.When an active terrorist was given the peace prize, it stopped being about peace.
while I think the award is indeed a bit silly, to not recognize that the award is aimed at Europe's amazing ability, since 1945, to not spend every other year trying to kill each other, is rather fucking remarkable.The annual clown prize, also known as the Nobel peace price has been awarded to the EU. The prize is awarded for screwing up the economy, especially in south Europe and inspiring the greeks to dress up in nazi uniforms to welcome Angela Merkel.
well, when you divide it out amongst the ~254? mill EU citizens....that's a few pennies each, right?Well, The EU can really use the prize money.
