We won't actually have all our troops out of Iraq for years, if not a decade. Obama still is considering sending more troops to A-stan without a clear vision.
If he gets the Peace Price, then should Goldman Sachs his campaign financier, or Larry Summers, architect of Democratic Party neoliberalism, or Tim Geithner, presiding officer of the financial meltdown, get the economics prize?
Surely, out of the record 205 nominations, somebody was more deserving, even if the Nobel Peace Prize committee wanted to make a political statement — a political statement about the Bush Administration — as part of the award.
Give the Nobel to the ACLU, Human Rights Watch or the Center for Constitutional Rights.
