War President Receives his Peace Prize

So Barack Obama received his Nobel Peace Prize in what has to be one of the most Orwellian (and shameful) awards in history.

Just a couple of weeks after announcing that he is escalating the war by surging tens of thousands of more US troops to "Af-Pak" and demanding that NATO nations contribute their own troops, Obama collects his peace prize.

There is not much to be said about the fundamental contradiction of this situation that hasn't already been mentioned. Perhaps, Michel Chossudovsky best described the awarding of this peace prize to Obama:

When war becomes peace,

When concepts and realities are turned upside down,

When fiction becomes truth and truth becomes fiction.

When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor, 

When the killing of civilians is upheld as "collateral damage", 

When those who resist the US-NATO led invasion of their homeland are categorized as "insurgents" or "terrorists".  

When preemptive nuclear war is upheld as self defense.

When advanced torture and "interrogation" techniques are routinely used to "protect peacekeeping operations",

When tactical nuclear weapons are heralded by the Pentagon as "harmless to the surrounding civilian population"

When three quarters of US personal federal income tax revenues are allocated to financing what is euphemistically referred to as "national defense" 

When the Commander in Chief of the largest military force on planet earth is presented as a global peace-maker,

When the Lie becomes the Truth. 

This is not exactly Change That We Can Believe In.

Some good analysis of the USA/NATO war against Afghanistan (as well as Pakistan), and most importantly, the real agenda behind the USA's phony War on Terrorism can be found below.

Hint: It has nothing to do with terrorism, Al-Queda, or getting Usama Bin Laden dead or alive, and everything to do with empire--American Empire.
