Sima Samar, women's rights activist in Afghanistan: "With dogged persistence and at great personal risk, she kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight. When the Taliban fell, Samar returned to Kabul and accepted the post of Minister for Women's Affairs."

Ingrid Betancourt: French-Colombian ex-hostage held for six years.

"Dr. Denis Mukwege: Doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence."

Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition: "These organizations are recognized for their consistently serious efforts to clean up cluster bombs, also known as land mines. Innocent civilians are regularly killed worldwide because the unseen bombs explode when stepped upon."

"Hu Jia, a human rights activist and an outspoken critic of the Chinese government, who was sentenced last year to a three-and-a-half-year prison term for 'inciting subversion of state power.'"

"Wei Jingsheng
, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's communist system. He now lives in the United States."

SIMA SAMAR = A Woman for Our Times

It may well be that...
the entire future of...
the whole human race...
may well hinge on our finally,

in this new 21st Century,

FREEing all the women of the world...
into being all that they already are in GOD’s Eyes...
and all that they can be...
while here on the Planet Earth...
...and beyond.

A Taliban & Al Qaeda that’s committed to the very opposite...
...MUST BE STOPPED.

For all our sakes.

NEVER FORGET

ZERO expected and planned for this OUTRAGE against LOGIC and HUMANITY! Rememeber they had to apply for his Consideration with a Deadline a mere TWO WEEKS after ZERO made sure Pictures were transmitted around the MUSLIM WORLD showing HIM being Sworn in WITHOUT THE INFIDEL’S BIBLE!! ALSO, ZERO’S TRIP to COPENHAGEN just last week becomes HIGHLY SUSPECT! DID ZERO LOBBY with the NOBEL COMMITTEE The Week Just Prior to the AWARDING, Just as AL GORE DID THE WEEK before He “WON HIS PEACE PRIZE?!”
SOMETHING REALLY STINKS!

“Don’t forget Billy Jeff Clinton.”

I haven’t. That was one of my first thoughts, too!

The Clintons are going to smack this guy upside the head, and fast. I’ve always said it was going to be Hillary! that brings 0bama down.

This Peace Prize award has unleashed The Hounds of Hell!

And I, for one, couldn’t be happier!! :)

The messiah is all set up to win it 4 or 5 more times!

Obama is incapable of embarassment.

There are a whopping FIVE members on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

FIVE.

Up unil a few years ago, I had more people voting on what’s for dinner than they have voting on the Peace Prize!

“People with his problems never do.”

Every day this man proves to be mentally ill. Or a mental midget. Either works for me. (No offense to midgets; I’m barely 5 foot tall...)

Just when we thought it was safe had been devalued as to be near meaningless...

Wait...it WAS already near meaningless, unless Arafat should get credit for making a deal he reneged upon, before the ink was dry.

As the now deceased, former King Hussein of Jordan put it, many years ago;
