name the countries and the meeting places.you cnat just state and think we will believe it.this is what the left wing crak pots do with the phony global warming and world opionion junk.

Ah, c'mon davie. At least he hasn't gone out and killed anybody and then collected The Peace Prize, like, oh I don't know... like certain previous winners had.

Yasser Arafat - his voice is clearly heard giving the order to kill U.S. Ambassador Cleo Noel Jr. and diplomat George C. Moore who were being held hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum by Palestinian terrorists back in 1973.

Arafat's radioed kill order was intercepted by U.S. naval ships in the region and recorded.

And then there are Arafat's legion of other crimes against humanity and the horrible and bloody attacks he instigated on the eve of being nominated and selected. And then after being awarded the prize he continued to order attacks against Israel and Israeli civilians.

Anwar Sadat started wars - but who can forget the way he finally forsook war and reached out in peace toward his enemies? That action cost him his life at the hands of men like Arafat.

People like Sadat should not have their honor and memory sullied by the likes of Arafat. And, by awarding the Prize to someone who hasn't actually done anything yet like our own President - you have to wonder what this Prize really means any more.

I doubt anyone here thinks Arafat deserved it either

Uh, not really. GWB might fit your bill here, but remember - among "conservatives" he was really all that conservative. He allowed Congress to raise taxes, he promoted and endorsed some rather massive intrusions of government into the private sector.

He supported the socialization of the mortgage industry (through Freddie Mac, etc) which led to the huge housing bubble - and its inevitable burst. It's hard to see even a liberal Republican like Nixon doing something like that.

In many ways, GWB really fits the mold of LBJ. And he certainly spent like an LBJ.

Kennedy set the tone of "containment" - advocated first by Truman regarding N. Korea - with U.S. policy toward Cuba. According to most "liberals" today that was a misguided policy. Oh, name an "ally" that was "meeting to form regional alliances to consider how to meet any further military agression (sic.) from the United States in their region."

Name one - just whatever one you had in mind when you typed that out.

And further - you said:

Let's see... after "Iraq" - the Israelis elected a conservative government,

Libya renounced terrorism and came clean on their WMD and nuclear programs,

France elected a conservative president of their own (Sarkozy) who actually supported Bush on Iraq,

The United Kingdom very narrowly kept their liberal Labour government in their equivalent to "mid-terms" and are now preparing to install a Tory friend of GWB's and a man who doesn't really see things Obama's way,

Italy threw out their Social-Left party and elected Belusconi and his cadre of "conservatives" (keeping in mind that a conservative there isn't the same as a conservative here) - but a government that supported GWB's approach to Saddam Hussein,

Germany bounced out their "liberal" government after they refused to help the US in Iraq and promptly installed Chancellor Merkel - a supporter of GWB. Merkel just won re-election this past month.

No, the rest of the world - our allies especially - all turned "right" due to GWB's policies. The "libs" over there paid a heavy political price for having failed to support us.

Obama's response was to betray our allies in Eastern Europe - people who still remember the Soviet invasions. In fact, the clueless Obama administration announced that they were dropping Poland's missile shield on the evening of September 16, 2009.

You can tell us all what had happened to Poland and what sad anniversary they were to commemorate the 60th anniversary of at that very moment, can't you?

September 17, 1939. Look it up, and then ask yourself - what kind of an idiot would announce he was dropping his support for Poland right when Obama did?
