After sending thousands of soldiers to war and failing to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Mr Bush and Mr Blair have been put forward to receive the Nobel peace prize.<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","summary":"\"Peace\" Prize?","numcomment":9,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2004\/02\/blush.gif","filesize":"76.2 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2004\/02\/102126.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2004\/02\/blush.gif"}},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":102136,"heading":"They should get the award","article":"I think those two fully deserve to receive the Peace Prize.\r\n\r\nBy eliminating ruthless regimes in both Afghanistan and Iraq they've made the world a safer place for all of us. \r\n\r\nBy chasing down the Al Queda terrorists they've done the same.

Just like when they gave an award to Golda Meier, or whatever the hell\r\nthat zionist shill's name was.\r\n\r\nPlease, tell them to get a clue. What peace is there in Afghanistan when U.S. troops\r\nare still being killed and the warlords who still oppress women and non-fundamentalists\r\nare in still in power. A nobel peace prize would be an insult to the troops in Iraq who \r\nare being taken out on a daily basis by the insurgents just so Halburton can get better\r\noil contracts in the Middle East. There is no peace in the U.S. and if Al Qaeda is so \r\nmuch in check then why do we have to endure these stupid orange alerts and extensive\r\nsecurity checks at the airport. So you can get an award for instituting a police state\r\n(bush) or thumbing your nose at your own people when they clearly disagree with \r\nyou (blair). Shit, then by that token we might as well give the prize to Saddam himself.\r\n\r\nIf anything, this suggests that the peace prize could be just a piss prize; a golden shower\r\nby the elite to whitewash the atrocities of their agents.\r\n\r\nThe peace prize should go to all the people all over the world who tried to stop this \r\nmadness, or to the people who exposed what a lie the weapons of mass destruction\r\nthreat was.\r\n\r\n...and what do you expect from a garage door, yet another troll trying to sneak back onto\r\nthe imc to do more surveillance.

Look at how his Jack Boot thugs protected Italy from those horrible protestors.

Did you see the way the Robo Cops in their Armored cars shot that kid dead. This to me reallly set the stage and provided the peacefull example which made this nomination possible for Bush and Blair. I think the Free Trade meetings in Miami should be the clincher for Bush. That was peace in action. \r\n\r\nI can't wait to see the Empires new military bases in Iraq, I'm so proud of the Way Bush and Blair took us to war to free the people of Iraq. I'm sure the people will bow down to Lord Bremer and there will be a great democracy any day. Gee maybe soon we will march into Iran and Syria while were at it and free those people too. \r\n\r\nWar is Peace! \r\nSlavery is Freedom!\r\n","author":"wavemaster","parent_id":102126,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-02-03 04:33:54","modified":"2004-02-03 04:33:54","fileurl":""},{"id":102237,"heading":"Street thuggery must be crushed","article":"Everyone knows that except the snarling thugs hiding behind banners of peace.
