Since George Bush is our Commander-in-Chief shouldn't he be considered a recipient for the MOH (Medal of Honor) for having the foresight and military acumen/courage to take on this modern day guerrilla/terrorist/suicidal warfare we see today? Bill Clinton's passive and downright evasive strategies toward terrorism helped pave the way for Bush to become our modern day military hero.

I was kind of torn between offering the MOH and the Nobel Peace Prize to Bush. No one can deny that Bush's spread of democracy throughout the Mideast he!!-hole is more than worthy of any type of available Peace Prize. So you can see the dilemma here. Don't dismay, I'll have an option where you could choose 'both'.

My head hurts.
 
Foresight? :rofl: Yeah sure kid... because this is not only going as planned, but going as foreseen :roll:

Honestly, that day that we were greeted as liberators, and handed roses, was awesome!

They did that for about 6 hours. Hardly qualifies as "a day".

Back on topic. Should Bush win the Nobel Peace Prize? I think you need to promote peace to get that...maybe Bush's successor will get one...but Bush? :| Doubt it.

OK, you had me going for a while...but now I'm 100% convinced that you aren't a real person. You're just a troll. My guess is that you're a liberal trying to parody the worst aspects of conservatism. The problem is, none of the conservatives (at least the intelligent ones) on this forum ever agree with you.

I wouldn't be sure about it- there are so many people who look fake, but somehow enjoy moments of lucidity (this may or may not apply to the Kid).
However, it could just be another facet of the troll's brilliant plan.

***Your type have been calling Bush stupid since 2000 when he handed Algore and the Dems a big defeat. Though you're not happy until you see America go down in defeat (ala, Vietnam)--sorry to say you won't get to feel that giddy this time. Democracies are already spreading like wildfire throughout the Mideast. Bush is about ready to clamp down on Iran. You did manage to get a chuckle out of me with that 'Slightly Conservative' wording under your avatar. That were a goodin...LOL

51% of all votes is hardly a big defeat. The fact that there was even a recount proves it was as "grand" as your dillusional head would have us believe.

I heard Kadafi and the mullahs were giving up power and MacDonalds were popping up all over Lybia and Iran.

Bush and Blair have actually been nominated for the Peace Nobel Price in 2002 for for fighting terrorism and promoting world peace.

BBC News | EUROPE | Nobel nomination for Bush and Blair

Let's look at is the way it is, if Henry Kissinger can get a Peace Nobel Price, there is no limit downwards anymore.

Not sure what you mean here, Volker. Kissinger won it for helping to establish the ceasefire and US withdrawl from Vietnam, effectively ending US involvement in the war. I would think this would qualify him for this award.

He was a advocator of bombings there before and there are hints his coworkers even made plans about using nuclear weapons against Vietnam. This alone qualifies him to spend the rest of his useless life in a cage, but he did not stop to plan crimes later.

Well, I guess if Arafat can win it then anyone, regardless of how much violence one is associated with, can. :roll:

I think we are coming to the conclusion that the Nobel Peace Prize, with, perhaps some notable exceptions, can be misguided, politically motivated, or myopic. Especially, myopic. What do you say, Volker?

I think all Nobel prices are political. The Nobel price does not say much more about a person then he or she has a lobby or good connections.

Another thing about the Peace Nobel Price is that it is named after a guy who made most of his money by selling ammunition.

His dad got rich producing and selling mines during conflicts like the American Civil War and Nobel himself worked in this business later making the explosives more effective.

I agree. Even those that have won that deserve it.

Hmmm...didn't know that. Gonna look it up, right now. :2wave:
 
Hmmm. not only did he own a major armaments manufactuer, but he invented dynamite. Interesting.

Yes, his dad was one of the inventors of the mine, he developed the business then and the Nobel company is still one of the big European ammunition manufacturers.
 
Hey, we just turned a patisan, rubbishy thread into one providing some good, pertinent information. Perhaps the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize should go to CaptainCourtesy and Volker. :2razz:

Yes, this is a great idea. We would be the first ones to get it for internet activities, this gives the old price a modern touch and we are much less controversial than many of the others.

We would be best quality for it :mrgreen:


We just have to manage to not start arguing about who gets which share of the donation when all the people are still around.

I love this. First for nternet activities...great touch, Volker. Can't think of any of the nominees being more deserving and less controversial. I mean, bringing peace and tranquility to the thread of an internet message board is nothing to be triffled with. Time to start campaigning...
