2. I wrote to the committee
and asked them (I wanted to beg) not to give these 2 a prize when in fact they should be served papers that they would be tried for war crimes..In a small way I trust them not to do it......It would severely compromise any facts going to the general public.I think it will be OK that's my gut...I hope so anyway.. I'm not a Christian but part of me wants to say " please God don't let the lie be perpetuated by this honor".

4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
next, Bush and Blair will be nominated for a Pulitzer Price for fiction based upon their lies leading up to the Iraq invasion.

and of course some Bush zombie will nominate him for a MacArthur "genius" grant...

and he could be nominated for an Academy Award for outstanding performance in a soft coup... you know how the Academy always give awards for those "mentally challeged" characters.

If I had not had a few beers, I would probably have gotten angry versus laughing for several minutes following reading this post.

9. Hey, if Kissinger is a Nobel Laureate...
Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 01:41 AM by NormanConquest
maybe Bush and Blair can win a People's Choice or a Golden Globe, too!

Might as well give Bill O'Reilly a Peabody, while we're at it.

At least he _didn't_ used WMD against Coalition Forces and surrendered without using violence.

27. true... in a certain way..
you got a certain point there...

And HE didn't starve Iraque for a decade ... causing hundreds of thousands of deaths by disease, child births, hunger..

Anyway, he DIDN'T do many things...

On the other hand he DID some things...

16. Hitler and Milosovitch Were Also Nominated... THEY DIDN'T WIN And
Neither will Bush* or Blair. Their chances are nil.

It is pretty disgusting to realize that there are some people so blind that they will use this process to try and make Bush* out to be some sort of saint. :puke:

19. And while we're at it
Let's nominate
(1) Anne Coulter for the Nobel Prize for Literature
(2) Chemical Ali for the Nobel Prize for Chemistry
(3) Dick Cheney for the Nobel Prize for Economics -surely Haliburton and Bechtel must be increasing the economic well being of the multi-millionaires


Any other bright ideas?

26. Not a joke.. but not the whole truth...

the truth is that the Nobel committee just reached the deadline for nominations this year...

112 persons and even some organizations have been nominated.
Everybody can nominate people...

So Bush and Blair got nominated, but their chances are pretty zero.

Even the European Union as a whole got nominated.

Last year an iranian female lawyer won.

Ahn Su Kiung (forgive wrong spelling) won.

People who actually set themselves in the line of fire to make the world a better place with peaceful methods win the award... not war mongers.

24. Nominations for this don't mean diddly-squat.
Winning it is a completely different matter.

I wouldn't waste too much time on this.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Do so however, if either of those asshats win.
