2. I don't think there will be peace in Iraq
but the WH will push shrub should to win the Nobel Peace Prize because people voted in Iraq. That is all I've been hearling is Iraq votes the first time in 50 years, then praises of shrub.

7. I think there are those who will push for it
I think the odds of it actually happening are pretty slim. Look at who is assigning the nobel peace prize.

5. When an invading and occupying force
sets up some bogus "voting" with a predetermined outcome favorable to the invader/occupiers, you can hardly say an "election" has occurred.

What happened here in the US last November and in Iraq today are consolidations of BFEE power, not expressions of the will of the people.

6. The rest of the world isn't subjected to paid Whitehouse Pundit Payola
Propaganda, so no. The Noel Prize is a global thing, not an America only thing, so the propaganda the paid pundits push here won't affect the nomination or voting process for the Nobel Peace Prize.
