hey! just got a follow-up re reject Bush-Blair Nobel petition

[ima_sinnic]

Remember when some uber-right crackpot in Norway(?) nominated Bush and Blair for the Nobel Peace Prize for the invasion of Iraq? And there was a petition out protesting it? For the first time ever, out of all the petitions I've ever signed, I just received a follow-up on the status of the petition, along with some interesting "editorial comment":

This is a one-time thank you & update for the "Reject Nomination
of Bush and Blair for Nobel Prize" Petition on ThePetitionSite.com
(http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/302184339) Your
opposition to this nomination is being delivered to The Norwegian
Nobel Prize Institute Committee along with 98,537 others. The
Committee is currently considering the nominations, and will have
your letters to help influence their decision.

In fact, new evidence has come to light that an investigation of
Bush & Blair's rationale for war in Iraq would be more appropriate
than a Nobel nomination. Many of you have heard in the news that
some of the information used as a rationale for war in Iraq may
have been false. Recent statements by the CIA* suggest that
President Bush knowingly used unreliable information about Iraq
during his 2003 State of the Union address to increase public and
congressional support for war. We all need to know if this is indeed
true, especially in light of this Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

Support a thorough investigation behind the evidence used as
justification for war in Iraq. We are trying to gather 75,000 signatures and we need your help. HELP NOW: http://www.care2.com/go/z/7310

1. Me too! I think an anti-peace prize would be more

appropriate. :evilfrown:

2. A 'War Monger Prize" is more like it.
