BamaKennedy has acted for months like he KNEW this was coming. Most especially in how he has treated our military in Afghanistan... all that babel about NOT winning wars. And his complete turn about over Afghanistan was the place where the US needed to focus attention and troops....

Thankfully the Heavenly Father is in control and He will only allow these leftist dirtworshipers to go so far.

Funny how the committee realizes that they are a bigger joke than when they gave the prize to Gore for his science fiction movie.

The fact that it was unanimous tells me that they are all libs, regardless of how they are ‘viewed’ by the Norwegians.

My honest impression is that these folks don’t get out much...and they hang around mostly folks of their own elite educational status. If they travel internationally...it’s just to meet more people like themselves. So they naturally believe the national media.

I would imagine that if you reviewed Norwegian state-run TV news over the past six months...it’s probably been heavily pro-Obama and done a great deal to sell his philosophy to those who watch (mostly educated Norwegians). I see the same problem in Germany. State-run news episodes don’t match up to regular news channels.

No wonder Norway always get the top UN ‘best place to live’ nonsense things. Hardcore left and communists stick together.

From the perspective of Israel, yes....but from the perspective of the United States, I would have to disagree with you. In the end, all nations will stand against Israel.

Whether this is that time, and Barack Obama is guiding us toward that end, I don't know.

Israel was the name given to Jacob. After the 'civil' war the 'whole' of Jacob/Israel were two different houses. The house of Israel were sent into captivity to the Assyrian king around 200 years before the House of Judah were sent into the Babylonian captivity.

That real estate maybe 'called' Israel now, but that is not reflective of all the children of the house of Israel, Ten Tribes, Ephriam, 'lost sheep' etc., as the two houses are still separated and will be until Christ Himself does the rejoining. We are told I will never leave you nor foresake you ...IF...

I’m not sure what that has to do with the United States, or any other country for that matter. If I follow your logic correctly, you seem to be saying that any nation that houses the “lost sheep” will be spared, then again, I disagree.

IF the 'world' is against Israel are you talking about 'real estate' Israel or people Israel. There is a big difference... and there is the time appointed 'times of the gentiles' at the same time of 'Jacob's trouble'.

If it makes no sense to you then never mind.

It will be both when the time comes. In other words, the two will be indistinguishable. Again, you seem to be saying that because we have Jewish people in this country, then we will be spared a moral collapse.

If that's your view, then I couldn't disagree more....

“...But a peek at the backgrounds of the five people who made the selection gives a clue why ..”

Okay, NOW they decide to become investigative journalists and look into the background of people? What do you want to bet this is a glowing report? I’ll wait to read it till tomorrow.

NBC is expressing surprise? Now Obama should be worried! I wonder how the Dalai Lama feels about being snubbed, now that the man who did it is being rewarded for his potential. I also wonder how those with actual accomplishments, and their supporters, feel about being ignored.

Maybe he Dalai Lama should expect that. President Bush gave him the highest medal possible, and he Dalai Lama one proclaimed, “I love George Bush.”

The Nobel has gone proactive: With the Peace Prize around his neck, it will be kind of hard to send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan.

Which is why the committee should award the Peace Prize to themselves next year for proactively giving it to Obama this year thus making the world a more peaceful place.

Kenya reacts to a “Son of Kenyan Soil” receiving the No Balls Prize:

“When I heard it on the radio I said ‘Hallelujah!’ “ said 65-year-old James Andaro. “It’s God’s blessing, this win is for Africa.”

In the Kenyan city of Kisumu, the capital of the home province of Mr. Obama’s father, radio shows interrupted broadcasting to have live phone-ins so callers could congratulate the president on his win. Traders in the market huddled around hand-held radios and touts yelled the news to each other from the windows of local minibuses known as matatus. Many are already decorated with Mr. Obama’s picture.
*******************
It’s a WIN FOR AFRICA. Mugabe must be pleased.
