3. With that, the NOBEL Prize will lose all respect and honor....however,

...someday seeing them STRIP this freak Bush from such a high held honor, may be interesting to those who would like the demise of G Bush to extend into the future. I believe it wil be in the future, once Bush/Cheny are gone from our White House, and somewhere, as we bulldoze the rubble of the Bush regime, sifting through the unshredded paperwork, we will find the truth about the reason Bush/Cheny ever came to hold such a high office in our Nation. With that revelation, the legacy of Bush I and Bush II will be forever the biggest disgrace upon this Great America. I cannot believe the NOBEL Peace Commission would consider either Bush or Blair for such an exclusive honor given the enormous controversy we now hear about the WMD's, and the current fragile mess that exists in the Middle East. Bush and Blair have accomplished just What Kind of Peace,now??

Thanks Blaze.

7. The 'pubbies have been saying the prize is worthless since Carter won.

I guess they were right on that point.

I hate when that happens...

9. Hmmm, war criminals getting a PEACE PRIZE?

I find it hard to stomach the kind of crap this world is coming to. Next, Ariel Sharon will get a Nobel Peace Prize, right?

5. Look at the guy who nominated them. From your source:

"Jan Simonsen, from the Right-wing Party of Progress, argued that the leaders deserved credit for laying the foundation of democracy in Iraq."

8. Bush Chances ane "Close to NIL"...

Thanks for the Reuters link:...

Nobel watchers say Bush or Blair's chances of winning are close to nil. The 2002 prize went to ex-U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who argued against war. The head of the Nobel committee called the choice a "kick in the legs" to Bush on Iraq.
