President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[Modbert]

LOL
how funny

Despite being on this board over a year, I still am able to poke fun at myself.

I think we can agree I have definitely changed in my year here.

 

[elvis]

Yes, certainly the south is better. I just wonder if the south koreans would rather the US leave and let them take care of themselves. Part of me thinks we should have followed MacArthur into china when we had the chance.

MacArthur and Patton ended up being right. It was our leaders here and Europe who basically shouldered this problem to future generations knowing they were doing so.

Patton? A war on the eastern front? Not sure about that. We would have to ask Xeno or Dude or gunny or RGS about that one.

 

[Modbert]

Yeah.....whatever.

London, Oct. 8: “Whatever” has been voted the most annoying word in American English.

I don't think you have any idea what this is going to affect.

I think it will force Obama to make a bad decision in Afghanistan.

He's gonna try to live up to this bogus prize by becoming even more of a pacifist then he already is.

It will also make him think he's doing the right thing by screwing up our economy.

Another thing it is causing is a series of Presidential directives coming down the pike that affects the lives of every DOD employee, everything from whom you can sleep with, to what kind of things you can openly discuss while at work.

This will make him feel he's on the right track.....that is if the award wasn't bought and paid for by George Soros or other Obama benefactors.

Exactly. Obama has effectively been put in a "Straightjacket"...for now he MUST live up to the expectations of the AWARD...

BS!

He's already won the award. He's a lame duck. Now he can do whatever the F! he wants and screw the NPP committee.

Immie

Disagree. Sure he has the AWARD, and has accpted it. But what you seem to have missed is Obama's very own Comments...

OBAMA: I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel committee

OBAMA: -- recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honored by this prize.

***And the ASS KICKER***

OBAMA: Throughout history, the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement, it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes, and that is why I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the twenty-first century. These challenges can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. That's why my administration's worked to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek.

According to NOBEL's WILL?

When Alfred Nobel died on December 10, 1896, it was discovered that he had left a will, dated November 27, 1895, according to which most of his vast wealth was to be used for five prizes, including one for peace. The prize for peace was to be awarded to the person who "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding of peace congresses."

Had OBAMA done such a thing only 12 DAYS into office from his Immacculation?

I hardly THINK SO.

Seems that OBAMA's acceptance of this AWARD, and that of Mr. NOBEL are at odds...eh?

Again? OBAMA has been placed in a StraightJacket. Even by his own admission.

I'm more saying that Patton ended up being right about Russia. I would ask Gunny about this more than anything. However, a war on the Eastern Front was possible. The end of WWII is probably when they were the most weakest in the last sixty five years. Unless of course you count the fall of the Soviet Union but at that point there was no use in doing anything.

Patton was right about continuing the war into the USSR?

We are going to discuss what would have happened. yes.

 

[Modbert]

Patton was right about continuing the war into the USSR?

If you look at it the way I stated earlier, we fought two wars with the USSR. Korean War and the Vietnam War.

PLUS, we gave help to Osama Bin Laden and those in Afghanistan when they were fighting the USSR.

We were better off in continuing war with the USSR at their weakest point instead of just fighting proxy wars over the course of forty years and diplomacy dick waving over the last ten.

Not nearly as tiring as the false claim (shared by you) that there is any "outrage" at all, much less this alleged "false outrage."

I see no outrage.

I see commentary. I see derision (justified). But outrage? Nope.

And nobody can justify the granting of such an award to this President on the basis of anything he has ever actually done. That probably merits another mention since Obamaphile hacks like to just skip past that point.

Commentary doesn't last for 700+ posts you hack.

This is outrage as it's best.

The thing is, this award affects none of us. So therefore, you have no reason to give a **** about it. As previously mentioned, the fact you put so much weight into this award in the first place makes me question some things.

By the way, the award could of gone to plenty of other deserving people. Guess what? It didn't. I wanted The Dark Knight to win Best Movie of the Year but it didn't even get nominated. Did I ***** for weeks and cry on a message board about a award that didn't affect me like some of you people will probably be doing so? No. I shrugged and said well better luck next time.

The only people who have a right to be "outraged" really are the ones who lost.

700 posts, many of which are left wing responses defending the award.

Personally, although I feel it was too early to award this to him, I am by no means upset with him. I think the committee screwed up and I have to wonder if none of the 205 nominees were worthy of the award, but I am not outraged by the award. It appears more of a joke than anything else and you have pretty much said the same thing in your posts.

The President did not yet deserve this award. Even he said so. It seems to me that the award is made less and less valuable every year because of the ridiculous recipients and quite frankly, I think that awarding President Obama this award this year cheapens anything else he does towards peace in the future. I find that sad.

I pray for the President's success but I think this award was at least one yea, rand probably two, too early.

No. It's not outrage at all, you dishonest litle twit.

You repeating your pointless little lie doesn't actually convert it into the truth.

There is still no outrage, ya hapless meaningless twit.

Did I mention that you are a twit? That shouldn't go unmentioned. You twit.

It is outrage. People are truly angry over this, which is sad. Just because you keep repeating something doesn't make it true there Liability. I see more outrage and "commentary" on this non-issue than the real issues. Which is another thing that is plain sad.

You have made your "commentary" on this issue several times I'm sure, why does it bear repeating? Will something change if you keep repeating it? If you say 'Obama didn't deserve it' three times fast do you think he'll appear in your mirror or computer screen with a axe to kill you?

Come to think of it, the only "outrage" I have noticed in regards to this award is from some on the left who are pissed that anyone on the right would question the validity of this farce of an award.

Korea and Vietnam were fought AFTER USSR had developed the bomb in 1949. when the russians developed the bomb and China went communist, there was a shift in American foreign policy regarding communism. 1949 was a major turning point.

Coyote is an annoying ****? Since you were responding to Coyote and not me when you said that.

Or did you not remember that?

That it was. Which is why if there was any point in history to fight the USSR it would of been after WWII.

Though I don't see Patton going the way Barbarossa did. You know, drowning in a river when bathing.

That's a GOOD point. Seems he too missed the quote of General John "BLACKJACK PERSHING"...who commented on this very same thing before the END of the first World War regarding Germany...

He was FOR continuing WWI, until the Germans signed their surrender IN BERLIN, for he knew that WE would have to confront them again, and we did just that.

First of all, conflating Chinese communism to Soviet communism is not wise. There was more to those two wars than Soviet communism.

The fall of Soviet Union was more due to economic stress and had little to do with Viet Nam and Korea.

Now, with respect to Patton's idea to continue into the USSR, that would not have been bloodless in the least. The goal was to topple their communist regime. Granted, it did not happen immediately, but with just a couple of handfuls of deaths during the Cold War, Soviet Union fell.

World War I was a bitter fight. Germany had ended the war with Russia (as soon as wilson declared war) . How long would it have taken to get to Beriin? How many casualties would we have suffered>

I think the arms race coupled with their war in Afghanistan broke the Soviet economy and the country itself.

Don't know...but the point stands...even a certain German Corporal didn't belive it to be over either.

HERE is his Photo from that time...Now shorten the Mustache...
