Anti-Semite Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Of course Jimmy Carter's an anti-Semite. The guy has blatthered at length over the last decade his affinity for the Palestinian cause and his belief that the Jews are in the wrong and at fault for the continuing conflict in that region.

Now that Candidate-In-Chief Barack Obama has espoused essentially the same point of view in admonishing Israel for its West Bank settlements and even threatening to shoot down Israeli jets over Iraqi airspace, he has been honored with the world's most notorious prize for anti-Semitism, the Nobel Peace Prize.

Also, quite a lot has been made during the last 4 weeks about the lack of communication between Bama and his commander in Afghanistan. McChrystal had been trying to talk to his boss for weeks and was being ignored. Then Bama comes back from Copenhagen and finally sits down to talk about the future of our military presence in the region.

So why the wait? What did Bama's trip to pitch for the Olympics have to do with Afghanistan? Now we know. Bama almost certainly knew he was in the running for the Peace prize, and while in Copenhagen an emissary from Oslo got the message to him, the Prize is yours, just don't blow it. That's why he went to Copenhagen, not for the United States, but for his own ego.

Now that he's won the prize, expect a half-ass response for McChrystal. Enough troops to keep the situation in limbo another 2 years, and then a dramatic pull out in 2012 when the whole thing has fallen apart. The more appropriate response, the response Bush took in Iraq, would be to send in a troop force capable of winning, or at least cleaning out the organized elements of the Taliban. In other words, another surge. But that would look bad for the Nobel committee, and even the pundits this morning agree that this award is more of a proactive attempt to affect Bama's policy with regards to the Middle-East, even as the idiots in Oslo claim they are rewarding Bama's good intentions to make America a better world citizen.

And what is that all about? The United States is not in the business of bowing to dictators, even though Bama is. He does not represent us, and not even a majority approve of the job he's doing anymore. We don't need him to apologize for us, as if he speaks on behalf of every American. That's infuriating. This guy is a clown, only in it to fulfill a prophecy he and the media created for himself. Nothing short of the humiliation of Americans and the destruction of American values will suffice, and that's exactly why he's so popular in Oslo.

By the way, before Carter, Woodrow Wilson was the last American president to win the Peace Prize. Being a bigot and anti-Semite may not be a requirement for winning the prize, but it obviously helps.
