I am half Norwegian and I have lived in Norway for most of my life. I wanted to say that comparing Norway to the spoiled child of a Hollywood celebrity is about as accurate as can be. The mainstream Norwegian politicians are far removed from reality. I guess most of the people of Norway are as well since they keep voting for those politicians.

However what I am most disappointed about is myself. The leader of the Nobel Committee, Thorbjørn Jagland, always seemed to me to be realistic and reasonable, at least for a Norwegian leftist.

those saying that Norway is a bunch of wimps need to read a bit of history surrounding the heavy water sabotage. Here’s a WIKI link for the uneducated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_heavy_water_sabotage

Those of your criticizing how Norway and England supplied the Third Reich also need to read up on just how the Bush family got a big chunk of there money. Here another link for the uneducated. http://www.tupbiosystems.com/articles/bush_nazi.html

Happy to be of service

Nobel prizes for science are generally well deserved, but Nobel prize for peace is an entirely different matter. Kissinger received the prize after he engineered the Vietnam War, which killed over 3 million people and 500,000 American troops; his Vietnamese counterpart refused to accept the prize. Former Israeli terrorists who killed both British and American civilians, namely Menachen Begin, Itzak Rabin not only became prime ministers of their nations, but also received the Nobel prize for peace, together with Arafat whilst the war is still going on in the Holy Land. All of them should have realistically face a life in prison as they all participated in war crimes.

The brave Norwegians see Poland and other countries sold out to Russia and throw a Nobel Prize to the looter-in-chief, buying themselves a few years of autonomy.

They don’t yet know that everyone, everyone goes under Obama’s bus sooner or later.

I’m not so ready to shame Norway for selling iron to the Third Reich when Winchester sold 8mm Mauser ammunition to the Third Reich up to the day they rolled into Poland. I have a sample in my collection.

@124. blotto:
DS:”I just think the fundamentalist zealots in the USA are a greater threat to US security than those in Afghanistan.”

And with this piece of sophistry promulgated by a mind-numbed leftist is all we need to know about the depth of his hatred for America and the reasons why debating this type of person is indeed, ridiculous and useless.

So you have no rebuttal. My concern about fundamentalist zealots in the USA makes me an America hating, mind-numbed leftist. Interesting.

Maybe you didn’t notice that fundamentalist zealots in the USA perpetrated a rather horrendous crime a little over eight years ago? Are you really so obsessed with partisanship that you can’t recognize the threat of home grown terror?

Stop the knee jerking for a second and think about it.

Peace.

Ah, Norway knows what it is doing with it’s now meanignless prizes. They and others, as VDH has said, have an agenda at work and it does not bode well for the USA.
Obama IS their man in Washington, NOT ours.
If we did not know it before, we certainly know it now. And now that we do know it we know what we face and what we have to do to restore liberty and freedom to our country. Mr. Obama has a decision to make and whether he picks 1,2 or 3 will determine his fate as a poltician.
What we do will determine the future of our country. 2010 is not that far away when you consider the job that needs to be done.
