Obama DON'T DESERVE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE









Yahoo News URL




Obama's administration is still in more than one Bloody War at this time, HOW CAN HE DESERVE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE? This is Unfair and Satirical. This is an insult to Nobel itself.

In the current affairs news URLs we can all see that Obama is actively involved in More Than 1 Wars as he is receiving PEACE PRIZE:


General wants 40,000 more U.S. troops for Afghanistan



Pakistan's citizens are irked by U.S. drones




Obama Govt Demand Extradition of Singaporean Reform Party CEC Member



It is SO OBVIOUS and POLITICAL that Obama is receiving this Nobel Peace Prize. Someone is clearly sucking on Washington to nominate and award this to Obama. If Obama is not as arrogant as Moron Bush, he should humbly REJECT this prize.

Why? The answer is clearly given in the blog post.

Moron Bush is the War Criminal and Obama is doing none other than FOLLOWING-UP on Moron Bush's War Crimes!

Obama is not lifting a single finger in sending ANY UN PEACE KEEPER TROOPS in to anywhere e.g. Sudan.

Obama had not CUT ANY US Military Arsons e.g. nuke warheads; submarines; carriers; missiles; bombers etc as the president & commander in chief.


The answer is also in Obama's own response:



<cite>AP</cite>
Obama says he'll accept Nobel as 'call to action'

That meant he has NO ACTION until now for peace. :p

I think Obama had only made EMPTY PROMISES like famiLEE LEEgime.

<!-- end .byline --> WASHINGTON – The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama landed with a shock on the nation's capital. He won! For what?
For one of America's youngest presidents, in office less than nine months — and only for 12 days before the Nobel nomination deadline last February — it was an astonishing award.
But the prize seems to be more for promise than performance. Obama so far has no standout moment of victory. As for most presidents in their first year, the report card on Obama's ambitious agenda is an "incomplete."
He banned extreme interrogation techniques for terrorists. But he also promised to close the globally controversial U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a task with difficulties that have Obama headed to miss his own January 2010 deadline.
He said he would end the Iraq war. But he slowed the U.S. troop drawdown a bit. Meantime, he's running a second war in the Muslim world, in Afghanistan — and is seriously considering ramping that one up.
He has pushed for new efforts to make peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. But there's been little cooperation so far.
His administration is talking to U.S. foes, like Iran, North Korea and Cuba. But there's not much to show from that, either.
He said he wants a nuclear-free world. But it was one thing to show the desire in his April Prague speech, and quite another to unite hesitant nations and U.S. lawmakers behind the necessary web of treaties and agreements.
He pledged to take the lead against climate change. But the U.S. seems likely to head into December's crucial international negotiations in Copenhagen with Obama-backed legislation still stalled.
And what about Obama's global prestige? It seemed to take a hit exactly a week ago when his trans-Atlantic journey to win the 2016 Olympics for Chicago was rejected with a last-place finish.
For the Nobel committee, merely altering the tone out of Washington toward the rest of the world seemed enough. Obama got much attention for his speech from Cairo reaching out a U.S. hand to the world's Muslims. His remarks at the U.N. General Assembly last month set down internationally welcome new markers for the way the U.S. works with the world.
But still. ...
Obama said he was as surprised as everyone else when he was awakened about an hour after the announcement.
"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," he said in the Rose Garden hours later. "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 21st century."
The prize is not necessarily a big plus for Obama in the tricky U.S. political arena.
He won election last year in part because voters weary with the nation's battered image abroad were attracted to his promise of a new start. But Republicans have been criticizing Obama as being too much celebrity and too little action, and they immediately seized on this new praise — from Europeans, no less — to try to bring him down a peg.
From Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, for instance: "It is unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements."
For Nobel voters, the award could be as much a slap at Obama's predecessor as about lauding Obama. Former President George W. Bush was reviled by much of the world for his cowboy diplomacy, Iraq war and snubbing of European priorities like global warming.
And remember that the Nobel prize has a long history of being awarded more for the committee's aspirations than for others' accomplishments — for Mideast peace or a better South Africa, for instance. In some cases, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to see the effort through, sometimes at critical moments.
Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said as much. "Some people say, and I understand it, isn't it premature? Too early?" he said in an interview with The Associated Press. "Well, I'd say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now. It is now that we have the opportunity to respond — all of us."
Obama certainly understands his challenges are too steep to resolve quickly. "It's not going to be easy," the president often says as he sets tasks for the United States.
The Nobel committee, it seems, had the audacity to hope that he'll eventually produce a record worthy of its prize.

美共和黨領袖不滿總統獲獎


(明報)2009年10月9日 星期五 23:05

美國 共和黨領袖斯蒂爾周五表示，總統奧巴馬 獲得諾貝爾和平獎是不幸的，他雖有名星地位，但無真正建樹。


他說，美國人要問的，奧巴馬有什麼貢獻呢？在為美國人民創造職位、國家預算上的責任，或者言行一致上，肯定沒有獎了。

Obama's Nobel Is Premature, Historians and Political Scientists Say

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama is an "embarrassment" to the process, a presidential historian told FOXNews.com.

Giving President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize is a "premature canonization" and an "embarrassment" to the process of designating a laureate, a presidential historian says.
"The jury is still out as to what his presidency is going to add up to," Fred Greenstein, author and professor of politics emeritus at Princeton University, told FOXNews.com.
"It's more of an embarrassment to the Nobel process."
President Obama said Friday he was "most surprised and deeply humbled" to win the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, adding that he accepts the honor as "a call to action to confront the common challenges of the 21st century."
In a brief statement in the White House Rose Garden on Friday, the president said he does not "view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments," but rather as a recognition of goals he has set for the United States and the world.
"I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize," he said.
Obama will go to Oslo in December to accept the honor, which includes a $1.4 million award, Norway's prime minister said.
Greenstein said Obama is unlikely to gain any political advantage from the award, and it is unlikely to lead to any major policy changes.
Only two other sitting presidents, Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson in 1919, have been awarded the prestigious Peace Prize. Roosevelt was honored largely for brokering an agreement between Russia and China, and Wilson took the award for his role in ending World War I and creating the League of Nations.
It's far too early to compare Obama to either of his predecessors, said Allan Lichtman, professor of history at American University.
"They're not comparable," Lichtman said. "[Roosevelt and Wilson] were six or seven years into two-term presidencies, and Obama has not completed a single year of his presidency, so it makes very little sense."
Obama possesses a great deal of "promise," but the jury is still out, Lichtman said.
"It remains to be seen what his foreign policy legacy will be," he said. "It is premature. This was to encourage rather than to recognize an accomplished fact."
The award might even become a "political headache" for Obama, Lichtman said.
"On the one hand, his liberal base will be pushing him to live up to this," he said. "And his Republican critics will say a bunch of Scandinavians socialists have given this award to another socialist. You'll hear quite a bit of criticism from the right."
Stephen Wayne, professor of American government at Georgetown University, praised Obama's "good instincts" and strong belief in diplomacy, but said he failed to see accomplishments that merited the prize.
"It does seem to me, at this point, that's its premature," Wayne said. "When I first saw it, I thought it was a joke. Obama may have been the first to get it for his rhetoric and his orientation."
Wayne said he was "startled" to learn Obama had been nominated for the award less than two weeks into his presidency.
"What had he done by February? He had been the first African-American elected president and provided sawing rhetoric," Wayne said. "In one sense, Obama has always been more popular in Europe than in the United States. That popularity is based in part on the contrast he provides to former President George W. Bush, who was not popular in Europe. I am very favorable toward President Obama, but this prize is a surprise to me."

和平獎爆冷給歐巴馬 學者：意外怪異

<label></label> 更新日期:<q>2009/10/09 18:35</q>
今年的諾貝爾和平獎爆冷頒給美國總統歐巴馬，跌破所有觀察家眼鏡，連學者也大感意外。淡江大學教授陳一新表示，上一個獲獎的美國總統，是促成以埃「大衛營協定」的卡特，而且是在他卸任後才獲獎。歐巴馬雖然提出一些願景，但是都還沒有成就，實在讓人意外（繆宇綸報導）


諾 貝爾和平獎意外地由美國總統歐巴馬獲得，上一個獲得這個獎項的美國總統，是促成「大衛營協定」的卡特。淡江大學教授陳一新感到意外，他表示，諾貝爾和平獎 通常是頒給已經有成就，或是經過多年努力，雖然還沒成功，但至少鍥而不捨，「大衛營協定」後來雖然被撕毀，但是至少在當時是很重大的成就，歐巴馬就任不過 一年，他對中東和平和裁減核武所提出的主張，不過才剛提出來，就獲得諾貝爾和平獎，實在有點「怪異」『所以雖然他好像有點措施要促進和平，但畢竟離達成和平協議，好像連曙光都還沒看到......核武從地球消失的願景更是不太可能做到，雖然他對俄羅斯做了一些讓步，不在波蘭和捷克擺反飛彈系統，但是這個也不見得就表示核子的冬天會結束！』


陳一新認為，把諾貝爾和平獎頒給歐巴馬，搞不好是歐巴馬親自出馬，為芝加哥申辦奧運會不成的「安慰獎」，把和平獎頒給就任還不滿一年的歐巴馬，只能說歐巴馬真是「三千寵愛在一身」，看起來太像政治性的決定。

Obama did not decline the Nobel Peace Prize. But he should.

He showed that he is self-righteous, and lack real humble.

Everywhere in this world there are only voices that doubt his tiny contributions and poor performance in aspect of peace.

If the Nobel is so political and abused as an instrument of politics that it must be given to a politician or president, then Hugo Chavez would had deserved it much more than Obama.



Obama had now shown the world that he is vain about his own Hollywood Star Fame. He is impractically too self-flattering. He enjoy his balls to be carried around by suckers. He is actually aiming very high but only achieving too low, he does not acknowledge this fact, and instead he felt that he is justified to take all the pompous fames and honors, he don't fell regret nor ashamed even when he could not answer to acqusations.

This is beginning to make Obama look like Old Dog Thief Lee Kuan Yew.

I fear that Obama's legend & so called success would eventually prove to be similar to Moron Bush's Iraq War Victory. Especially in the aspect of economic recovery. If Obama is not intoxicated and drunk by the vain and fame, he should wake up now and humbly decline the Nobel Peace Prize. If he did, I would respect him more.

華府吃驚 政壇嘩然 媒體質疑

<label></label> 更新日期:<q>2009/10/10 03:03</q> 劉屏／華盛頓九日電
中國時報【劉屏／華盛頓九日電】


美國總統歐巴馬獲得諾貝爾和平獎，各方大吃一驚，接下來是一連串的質疑，也有人罵個不停，網路上也議論紛紛。


歐巴馬獲獎的消息傳至華府，正值黎明時分，白宮深感意外，表示完全沒有想到。電子媒體及網路上，質疑聲不斷。保守派原本就不滿歐巴馬，因為他剛剛拒絕會見另一位和平獎得獎人達賴喇嘛；自由派也問，憑什麼？


歐巴馬上任才八個多月，用心良苦，但成效有得觀察。此期間，北韓試爆核武，增加試射飛彈，退出六方會談；美國在伊拉克的戰事陷入膠著，阿富汗戰爭弄不好要輸（今天各報頭條都是美國必須增援四至六萬元，否則等著敗戰）；伊朗說要和美國對話，實際被查知有祕密核子裝置，居心可疑。和平？來日方長。


華 府有個媒體要辯論「歐巴馬該不該獲獎」，現在最擔心的是如何找到「正方」。如果因為「用心良苦」就可以獲獎，那全球不知有多少人該得獎。對那些因為爭取和 平而犧牲、因為爭取民主而長年坐牢的人又該如何？歐巴馬這麼輕易就得獎，會不會貶低獎項的價值？過去的受獎者會怎麼想？


諾貝爾委員會曾犯的最大錯誤是在一九七三年，由美國國務卿季辛吉與北越外交部長黎德壽共同獲得諾貝爾和平獎，理由是兩人簽訂巴黎停火協定。然而戰火不但沒有停息，北越且大舉南侵。頒獎後一年多，南越淪亡。

Gasps as Obama awarded Nobel Peace Prize

<!-- end .byline --> OSLO – The announcement drew gasps of surprise and cries of too much, too soon. Yet President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday because the judges found his promise of disarmament and diplomacy too good to ignore.
The five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee — four of whom spoke to The Associated Press, said awarding Obama the peace prize could be seen as an early vote of confidence intended to build global support for the policies of his young administration.
They lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease U.S. conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen its role in combating climate change.
"Some people say — and I understand it — 'Isn't it premature? Too early?' Well, I'd say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now," Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, told the AP. "It is now that we have the opportunity to respond — all of us."
Jagland said the committee whittled down a record pool of 205 nominations and had "several candidates until the last minute," but it became more obvious that "we couldn't get around these deep changes that are taking place" under Obama.
Obama said he was surprised and deeply humbled by the honor, and planned to travel to Oslo in December to accept the prize.
"Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations," he said at the White House. "To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize."
Obama will donate the $1.4 million cash award that comes with the prize to charity.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, who won the prize in 1984, said the decision showed that great things are expected from Obama and "wonderful recognition" of his effort to reach out to the Arab world after years of hostility.
"It is an award that speaks to the promise of President Obama's message of hope," Tutu said.
Many were shocked by the unexpected choice so early in a presidency that began less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline for the prize and has yet to yield concrete achievements in peacemaking.
"So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far. He is only beginning to act," said former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the peace prize in 1983.
Some around the world objected to the choice of Obama, who still oversees wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has launched deadly counterterrorism strikes in Pakistan and Somalia.
Jagland told AP that while the war in Afghanistan was a concern, the Obama administration "immediately started to reassess the strategy."
"That itself is important, because when something goes wrong, then you need to ask yourself why is it going wrong," he said.
Obama said he was working to end the war in Iraq and "to confront a ruthless adversary that directly threatens the American people and our allies" in Afghanistan, where he is seriously considering increasing the number of U.S. troops on the ground and asking for help from others as the war enters its ninth year.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi in Afghanistan condemned the Nobel committee's decision, saying Obama had only escalated the war and had "the blood of the Afghan people on his hands."
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki called the Nobel decision "hasty."
"The appropriate time for awarding such a prize is when foreign military forces leave Iraq and Afghanistan and when one stands by the rights of the oppressed Palestinian people," he was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
Aagot Valle, a lawmaker for the Socialist Left party who joined the Nobel committee this year, said she hoped the selection would be viewed as "support and a commitment for Obama."
"And I hope it will be an inspiration for all those that work with nuclear disarmament and disarmament," she told AP in a rare interview. Members of the committee usually speak only through its chairman.
The peace prize was created partly to encourage ongoing peace efforts, but Obama's efforts are at far earlier stages than those of past winners, and the committee acknowledged they may not bear fruit at all.
"If everything goes wrong, then one cannot say that this was because of Barack Obama," Jagland said. "It could be that it is because of us, all the others, that didn't respond. But I cannot exclude that Barack Obama also can contribute to the eventual failure."
In Europe and much of the world, Obama is praised for bringing the U.S. closer to mainstream global thinking on such issues as climate change and multilateralism. A 25-nation poll of 27,000 people released in July by the Pew Global Attitudes Project found double-digit boosts to the percentage of people viewing the U.S. favorably in countries around the world. That indicator had plunged across the world under President George W. Bush.
The award appeared to be at least partly a slap at Bush from a committee that harshly criticized Obama's predecessor for his largely unilateral military action in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
"Those who were in support of Bush in his belief in war solving problems, on rearmament, and that nuclear weapons play an important role ... probably won't be happy," said Valle.
At home, the picture is more complicated. Obama is often criticized by his political opponents as he attempts to carry out his agenda — from government spending to health care to Afghanistan.
Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele said Obama won because of his "star power" rather than meaningful accomplishments.
"The real question Americans are asking is, 'What has President Obama actually accomplished?'" Steele said.
Drawing criticism from some on the left, Obama has been slow to bring troops home from Iraq and the real end of the U.S. military presence there won't come until at least 2012.
The Nobel committee said it paid special attention to Obama's vision of a nuclear-free world, laid out in a speech in Prague and in April and at the United Nations last month.
Former Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, said Obama has already provided outstanding leadership on nuclear non-proliferation.
"He has shown an unshakable commitment to diplomacy, mutual respect and dialogue as the best means of resolving conflicts," ElBaradei said.
In July talks in Moscow, Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed that their negotiators would work out a new limit on delivery vehicles for nuclear warheads of between 500 and 1,100. They also agreed that warhead limits would be reduced from the current range of 1,700-2,200 to as low as 1,500. The U.S. now has about 2,200 such warheads, compared to about 2,800 for the Russians.
There has been no word on whether either side has started to act on the reductions.
Obama also has tried to restart stalled Mideast talks with no progress yet reported.

In the Gaza Strip, leaders of the radical Hamas movement said they had heard Obama's speeches on better relations with the Islamic world but had not been moved.
"We are in need of actions, not sayings," Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said. "If there is no fundamental and true change in American policies toward the acknowledgment of the rights of the Palestinian people, I think this prize won't move us forward or backward."
Obama has said that battling climate change is a priority. Yet the U.S. seems likely to head into crucial international negotiations set for Copenhagen in December with Obama-backed legislation still stalled in Congress.
Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, which are awarded by Swedish institutions, the peace prize is given out by the five-member committee elected by the Norwegian Parliament. Like the Parliament, the panel has a leftist slant, with three members elected by left-of-center parties and two right-of-center members. Jagland said the decision to honor Obama was unanimous.
The secretive committee declined to say who nominated Obama. In Nobel tradition, nominations are kept secret for 50 years, unless those making the submissions go public about their picks. This year's nominations included Colombian activist Piedad Cordoba, Afghan woman's rights activist Simi Samar and Denis Mukwege, a physician in war-torn Congo who opened a clinic to help rape victims.
Nominators for the prize are broad and include former laureates; current and former members of the committee and their staff; members of national governments and legislatures; university professors of law, theology, social sciences, history and philosophy; leaders of peace research and foreign affairs institutes; and members of international courts of law.
Obama is the third sitting U.S. president to win the award: President Theodore Roosevelt won in 1906 and President Woodrow Wilson was awarded the prize in 1919.
In his 1895 will, Alfred Nobel stipulated that the peace prize should go "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses."

Analysis: A great prize, but will it help goals?



<cite class="vcard"> By JENNIFER LOVEN, AP White House Correspondent Jennifer Loven, Ap White House Correspondent </cite> – <abbr title="2009-10-09T17:41:47-0700" class="recenttimedate">2 hrs 42 mins ago</abbr>
<!-- end .byline --> WASHINGTON – Now that he's Nobel laureate Barack Obama, will he find smoother sailing for his plans to rid the world of nuclear weapons, to forge Mideast peace and stabilize Afghanistan, to halt climate change?
Not likely.
The Nobel committee members made no bones about it: Helping Obama achieve ambitious peacemaking goals was their goal in awarding the prize Friday to an as-yet mostly unaccomplished U.S. president.
But while the prestige could give Obama and his efforts a boost, nations steer their courses according to their own interests and little else. U.S. lawmakers, too, aren't going to be influenced in politically difficult votes on climate change legislation or nuclear-reduction treaties by the Nobel Peace Prize, no matter who wins it.
That's not to say it wasn't an impressive achievement.
At just 48 years old and not even nine months in office, Obama became only the third sitting U.S. president to win the prize.
The widespread reaction, however, when the stunning news hit the nation was: For what?
Obama said so himself. "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," he said hours after being awakened — and surprised — by spokesman Robert Gibbs.
Comments from Nobel committee members revealed that they fully intended to encourage, not reward. Consider this: The nomination deadline was only 12 days after Obama first entered the Oval Office. It's an enduring myth that the prize is only about accomplishment — it actually was created as much to supply momentum for peace as to celebrate it.
Indeed, with a leftist slant, the five-member committee was applauding Obama as much for what he's not — his predecessor. Former President George W. Bush was much reviled overseas for "cowboy diplomacy," the Iraq war and his snubbing of European priorities such as global warming.
So some cheerleading probably can't hurt, as Obama presses forward on efforts to repair America's relations with Muslims, bring Israelis and Palestinians into fruitful negotiations and turn back climate change. The committee especially singled out Obama's aims to create a nuclear weapons-free world and to set out a new, more cooperative diplomatic doctrine.
"I hope it will help him," Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said of the award. "Obama is the right man at the right time, and that's why we want to enhance his efforts."
"I will accept this award as a call to action," Obama said. "This award must be shared with everyone who strives for justice and dignity."
Still, Obama's efforts are at far earlier stages than past winners'.
For instance:
• He and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev have set negotiators working toward an agreement to significantly reduce nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles. But getting to zero nuclear weapons across the globe — something Obama acknowledged "may not be completed in my lifetime" — means corralling both friend and foe abroad and lawmakers at home behind a mind-bendingly thorny web of treaties and agreements.
• Obama said he would end the Iraq war. But he launches deadly anti-terror strikes in Pakistan, Somalia and elsewhere and is running a second war, in Afghanistan, that he has already escalated once and is considering ramping up again while trying to persuade mostly reluctant NATO allies to contribute more.
• He has pushed for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. But there's been little cooperation so far from them.
• His administration is talking to U.S. foes, like Iran, North Korea and Cuba. But there's not much to show from that, either.
• He pledged to take the lead against climate change. But the U.S. seems likely to head into December's crucial international negotiations in Copenhagen with legislation still stalled in Congress and nations crucial to global agreement, including China and India, showing reluctance to come on board.
With many seeing the award as premature, there's the chance it could provoke a small backlash that makes Obama's work harder.
So, no doubt the news of the prize brought trepidation along with joy. As Obama's former foe for the White House, Republican Sen. John McCain, said: "He now has even more to live up to."
Perhaps one reason there was no public celebrating at the White House on Friday.

You are probably right...i agree it is abit premature. Yes.. he may well deserve it by the end of his term but not now - who can say what will happen.

I am not joining Obama's political opponents to scoff at him now. But I think he don't deserve a pompous Nobel at this time and he should in his own right mind know that, and decline the award humbly. He can promise more efforts or performance, but nothing can be guarantied at this time.

There are other individual who had done more for peace and deserve the title more than Obama. This award should NOT be abused as a western political tool, or else it will lose it's value and meaning as well as lose the world's respect.

<!-- end .byline --> WASHINGTON – The chairman of the Republican Party is contending that President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize as result of his "star power" rather than meaningful accomplishments.
Michael Steele issued a statement Friday saying, "The real question Americans are asking is, What has President Obama actually accomplished?"
Steele, who took over the reins of the party earlier this year, said he thought it was "unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights." He said he doesn't think Obama will be "receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action."

Who is the slut here hijacking this thread?

because his wife slave .....

BG PM LEE and MM Lee should volunteer to send 10,000 to even 50,000 of the Singapore soldiers for 3 months to 1 year operation to gain fighting experience.

After 3 years of such operation, most Singapore soldiers will have experince in actual warfare. This is something Singapore can be proud of.

Just imagine, of all the 300,000 reservists and 50,000 full-time army personnels in Singapore, 100,000 of them have real fight experience of at least 3 months. The moving of troops, sniper attacks, ambush, using all the Singapore-designed and make army euipments.

This would help the sale of these battle-tested military equipments. And it will translate to billions of $ of arms sales for Singapore. Then PAP can credit Singapore as a military arms HUB.

With the fighting experince of the Singapore commandos, the combat units, the guards and rangers. the airforce, the navy in the Gulf Singapore Armed Forces will in just 3 years transform from a theory-type-of boys-scout army (a little bit below the Salvation Army) to a experienced fighting force...feared by all its potential enemies.

Go ahead send 50,000 troops to Afganistan. Take it was a realistic training group. Just 3 months and a 2 or 3 gun battles will be enough to train the guts of the Singapore soldiers.

First, deploy a unit of the elite Singapore commandos..about 1,000 of them for 3 months to hunt down the Talibans in the mountians. Getting a few injured or even killed is just a small price to pay for such valuable training.

In a matter of 3 months these 1000 commandos will have the fighting experience. The OCT can have a quick 1 month mission there during their final training before earning their offier rank. The men under them will respect for their fighting experience. PM Lee's 2nd son will be the first to go to set a good example.

Then send in the airforce to bomb the Talibans.

Another 2000 of the Rangers and Guards can be deployed to hunt down the Talibans. Then another 5,000 combat soliders guard the Singapore base and walkl the streets for 1 year.

Then move in the armoured division to fight the Talibans head on.

Wow, just in 3 years, the whole world will begin to have deep respect for Singapore Armed Forces. It will be at par with the Isreali, the British and the U.S. All the Singapore army officers will be experienced fighters.

It's quite a surprise for me to hear that Barrack Obama has won the Nobel Prize prize. Now the prize is devalued and relegated to worthless and meaningless. Pity the past winners. Just like L.K.Y. getting some honorary degrees or doctorates.

I share this feeling regarding this award.

The issue you mentioned, is a reflection on a person's own integrity & honesty. In life some times one got praised or received award for wrongfully given or unfounded credits given. But an honest person will decline them and point out the facts accordingly and return honest credits to whoever it is due.

However Obama still had his own chance to decline it but he ruined the chance. The liability is reflecting against himself now. He proved that he is VAIN for such Baseless Fame instead of being really humble.
