Obama's double standard on nuclear weapons

Abstract:
President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for accomplishments that as of now are

unaccomplished.

The five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee reasoned that Obama deserved the award for fostering peace and cooperation in the global community.

Obama has certainly taken steps in that direction, but has he really done anything to warrant such a prize?

Obama joins Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter as Nobel Peace

Prize-winning presidents....

President Obama has ruled out a significant reduction of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. In a bipartisan meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday, Obama rejected a U.S. withdrawal and said he is still considering an assessment requesting up to 40,000 additional troops.

If you step back a moment and think about it, you will realize that you are constantly being propagandized to approve war -- not just the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but war generically.

You really wonder about American intelligence sometimes. They're so ignorant of the rest of the world, the last thing they need to be doing is meddling in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East. The news media sanitize it. The government sanitizes war because it doesn't want you to see the coffins. It's far time that we get out of Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East.
