err, so what has he actually done?
US President Barack Obama has said he was "surprised and deeply humbled" to be
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Ofcourse he is surprised , he has done FA, or have I missed something?

he's given us all hope - that appears to be enough these days.
Although being frank, i think i could have got the nobel peace prize if i got the job after the last bloke!!!!

In the same time frame, George Dubyah Bush had invaded 8 countries, deposed 12 governments, started 4 wars, detained without trial 4.3 million people

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

if he can get the wheels in motion for a 2 state solution for palestine/israel then i'll be impressed
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make

Yeah I was trying to imply that I don't see what he's done. I can't see him doing anything for palestine either. I hope I'm

I've not heard muslimgauze, just wiki'd it but i'm on dial up so can't check it out on youtube, any good?

and proabably the same number rerleased after his death.
