Bush been nominated for Nobel Prize.

Apparently, George Bush is now in the race for the Nobel Prize for peace, for ending the reign of Sadam Hussein. I have a Dutch source at http://www.nu.nl/news.jsp?n=269541&c=20 . I'll post an English one if I come across it.

As does ABS News
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1035353.htm

And these people have started a petition to shoot down the nomination of both Bush and Blair.

Ah. Sir Goulum beat me to it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sir Goulum · 02-01-2004, 05:43 PM

People are petitioning the nomination? Gotta read that article [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dreamer128 · 02-01-2004, 05:45 PM

Yeah, well. It would appear Milosevic and Hitler have been nominated as well. It surprises me that no one is petitioning against that

Considering how critisized the war in Iraq has been, he's unlikely to get the award.

The info from Thepetitionsite say that he was nominated by MP Harald Tom Nesvik, while ABC says he was nominated by MP Jan Simonsen. Which is correct, if any?

Dreamer128 · 02-01-2004, 06:31 PM

According to my information, it was Mister Simonsen.

Thats like giving Macdonalds a prize for reducing obesity

Or Coke for fighting for better dental hygenie

or me a prize for coherent intelligent posting

or giving Britney Spears the Oscar... or a prize for being a good role model

Norwegians are always good for a laugh... [img]smile.gif[/img]
