OSLO, Norway -- The head of the committee that awarded Jimmy Carter the Nobel Peace Prize said the selection of the former U.S. president "must be seen" as a swipe at current Washington policy on Iraq.

Of course it is all political. Political from a leftist point of view. Had this prize been awarded objectively Ronald Reagan would have won it for taking down the USSR which was the greatest obstacle to world peace in man's history, but no, it was given to Gorby, who happened to be presiding over the evil empire at the time of it's death.

I'm sure the Nobel Committee has issued a statement why Al Gore won. You might want to research it before you jump to conclusions after reading a snippet from CNN or FAUX News.
"A peace prize is never a criticism of anything. A peace prize is a positive message and support to all those champions of peace in the world," Peace Prize committee chairman Ole Danbolt Mjoes.

It should be renamed the Evil Leftist of the Year Award.

Agree....Ever since Jimmy got it, It is no longer a prestigious award, and did you notice that England just declared his "documentary" as flawed with at least 10 points that where absolutely INCORRECT! yet, we don't hear a word about that!

It was a good decision then.
The war on Iraq has only spawned more violence and more terrorism.
