I thought how bizarre the scene was, a man who won the prize a scant 1 month after taking office, and now giving a speech on the meaning of peace and war...
How ironic for him to accept now, just days after ordering a dramatic buildup of our troops in Afghanistan, a move many say was straight out of the previous administrations plans...
Sure, he talked about closing GITMO, and winding down our involvement in Iraq, but he also spoke of the discontent around the world where freedom is denied, and the growing threat of nuclear prolifieration... I how he can figure out how to act on these things, otherwise this was just rhetoric.
It's all just too bizarre!
ReplyDeleteThose countries are just chock full of Neville Chamberlains.
ReplyDeleteSure, he talked about closing GITMO, but that was just closing the facilities dear. They were not going to let the illegally held prisoners go free, they were just going to relocate them and don't forget the Glorious Leader resigned Bush's bill allowing violations of Habeas Corpus; hail to the new boss, same as the old boss. Don't watch the silk scarf, watch the hand holding the pen.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, the US is the reason why there is an increase threat of nuclear proliferation! What would your reaction be if you saw your next door neighbour being whacked by a huge bully?
ReplyDelete...wait a minute, this happened when? I'm a few days behind on the news.
