"Obama has now fired more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace Prize winners combined."

How many wars do we really NEED to be involved in today? Orwell was such a prophet - endless war all the time. War is peace.

Obama promised in his campaign to get us out of Iraq by now. We are still there, in force.

Afghanistan? We are told that this war will end...eventually...unless they change their minds in the next few years.

Pakistan? This covert war is ongoing, no promises of any let up.

Iran? Another covert war that we are obviously wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on.

That's four. And now...Libya. Why? Is it just a golden opportunity for us to further our interests in the region by exerting the "influence" of our huge military? One wonders. How is this a humanitarian mission?

"In order to liberate the village I had to destroy the village." ???

Gimmee a break!! I'm ready to hit the streets!!!

He said the prize was now hypocritical as a result.

8. I don't understand.
Why didn't your source give credit for that quote to the brilliant Sarah Palin?
