DUH... what was their first clue???Can I get a “DUH??” Three examples off the top of my pointy head: Carter, Arafat and Obama. There are more. If Hitler were alive, he’d be another.
After awarding a Nobel Peace Prize to Obama in 2008...how could it possibly go to a mere mortal in this the next election cycle...?
Could be a typing error I suppose. Maybe they’re coming up with a new Nobel Pizza Prize and didn’t change the spelling.
They didn’t burn a bunch of Pizza delivery cars in Paris this year, so this may be warranted.
How come no thread about Nobel Literature Prize? Do we read? What do we read? Self-published future war tripe of members?
The Nobel peace prize is a joke...do dah...do dah.
Not true. The Paris peace accords were signed by Kissinger and Le Duc Tho in January 1973, with an immediate cease-fire and ending open military action(at least for the time being). The prize was awarded in October 1973.
Not an unreasonable award at the time.
DUH... what was their first clue???I bet Libya was runner-up
Obama’s prize was absurd especially as we learned how the process works. The nominations for 2009 were due on Feb. 1, 2009, when Obama had been president for exactly 11 days. Clearly, his nomination was not based on anything he had done as president. What a joke.
The Nobel peace prize is a joke? And this is a new revelation?
The Nobel Peace Prize has been a joke for decades. Giving it to Obama in 2008 was just the icing on the cake.
Not so much. However bad things are now with the EU, the organizations which preceeded it deserve a lot of credit for keeping Europe halfway civilized in the years after WWII. I certainly would have given them the awared 40 or 50 years ago if it had been mine to give. As prize winners go, this year's isn't awful (as some have been down through the years). A bit comical, certainly, given all their recent problems, but not a disaster or a disgrace.
When they gave an unknown, Obama, The Peace Prize for doing nothing, I realized then that it was worth nothing, absolutely nothing.
