European Union Wins Nobel Peace Prize


http://www.npr.org/2012/10/12/162769156/european-union-wins-nobel-peace-prize?ft=1&f=1001

The European Union has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the midst of its greatest crisis since its beginnings in the 1950s.

The Norwegian prize committee the EU received the award for six decades of contributions "to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe."

CONVENIENTLY IGNORING THE EUROZONE BRINGING THE ENTIRE WORLD'S ECONOMY TO THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE, WITH HUNGER, DISEASE AND DESPAIR, MASSIVE RIOTING, AND INVASIONS BOTH ECONOMIC AND, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, MILITARY.

BUT HEY! ANY BUNCH THAT WOULD GIVE DRONE BOY THE NOBEL WHILE HES ACCELERATING TWO WARS FOR EMPIRE WOULD DO THE SAME....
