Will Obama's Nobel Peace Prize be revoked?

73. I love noobs, they are so easy to school.

I think that if you went back and dug through the archives here, you'll find that I vociferously opposed Bush and his wars of empire. Yes, Obama has ended the war in Iraq, but ramped up the war in Afghanistan. That isn't the way of peace. After all, what reason do we have for ever being in Afghanistan? None, absolutely none. But we're apparently not going to leave Afghanistan for a long time. Under the SOF agreement that Obama signed with Kharzi in their midnight meeting last year, we've committed troops to Afghanistan until at least 2024.

Meanwhile, Obama has expanded our illegal, immoral use of drones, violating the sovereignty of nations and killing thousands of innocents. He is expanding our military footprint into Africa and Asia, trying to play the Great Game with China, never mind the lives we will take in the area. Oh, and let's not forget that we're now dabbling now with Syria, shipping in weapons and such, not to mention ongoing saber rattling with Iran and N. Korea. Does that sound like a man of peace to you? It certainly doesn't sound like one to me, instead it sounds like another corporate president who is keeping his masters in the MIC happy and well fed.

Disgruntled Dem, yeah, you could say that. Last time I was a Dem was back in the '80's. Before that, I had been a delegate to the DNC, worked on presidential, and other campaigns, and saw the worst of the Democratic party. So I got out. As a serious leftist, peace activist, I saw where the party was and where it was headed, far to the right of where I was on the political spectrum. Sadly, it exceeded my worst fears, to the point where we have a Democratic president governing from the roughly the same political position as Eisenhower did. The only thing worse is that conservatives think he is a socialist, which means the idiots at the Democratic party are going to continue their dive to the right in order to pick up votes.

No, I'm no spokesman for the GOP, just an old school peacenik, leftist who is pissed at a party that has left him behind on its march to the right.

Any other questions?
