Russia Today: No wind of change after Obamas Nobel Prize - Dprogram.net

They voted Barack Obama in for a change to George Bush's wars, but they say all he's given them is more fighting.

Peace campaigners have once again gathered outside the White House to demand an end to American interventions abroad.

Fast forward one year from Obamas election, and there is a mass of people many of them former supporters outside his house and angry about what hes done.


As someone who voted for Obama, Im here today to oppose the escalation to the war in Afghanistan, said Ben Kreider, peace activist.

Its been a busy week for the President and members of his administration. His advisors are finishing up the rounds on Capitol Hill trying to sell his Afghan war strategy to Congress.

But as someone who served in Afghanistan, Matthis Chrioux says Obama has it all wrong.

Just because we have a black President doesn't mean we cant have a racist war, Chrioux said. The arguments that Obama is making to sustain the occupation of Afghanistan are very similar to the arguments made by white slaveholders in the 1800s trying to justify the continuation of slavery.

The activists say 30,000 more troops will only make things worse in Afghanistan. They believe Obama doesnt deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

Even in this crowd, people who voted for him, who thought they were voting for peace, theyre disappointed that we do not have peace and to top it all off he's received the Nobel Peace Prize, Cynthia McKinney, former congresswoman, said. The right path is to leave Afghanistan to the Afghani people, to leave Pakistan to the Pakistani people.

Former presidential candidates Cynthia McKinney and Dennis Kucinich are among the many politicians who are calling for an end to the war.

If we cant learn from Russias experience in Afghanistan Russia is a very powerful nation, but it understood the limitations to the use of power the United States will learn that lesson in Afghanistan but it will be at the cost of the deaths of a lot of innocent people, the deaths of our soldiers and great financial expense, Dennis Kucinich said.

And that financial expense is whats worrying American taxpayers, too.

I believe that the billions of dollars that are being spent on Afghanistan should be spent on the U.S. right now, the peace activist argued. We have very high unemployment right now. We need jobs! People like me are thousands of dollars in debt after going to college, and I think that the military industrial complex, all the spending, is very wasteful.

OK so the hero jibe isn't attributable to him. His fans project it onto him. Do a search for hero obama. Maybe it's a mental bridge I built after seeing him posing with the superman statue.

The illegal invasion and the joke about Nobel prizes remains unchanged

The world is a joke. Manufactured enemies to kill in the name of fictitious gods.

People are st00pid in general. Most never take the time to contemplate anything. They accept everything and question nothing

It's quite obvious really.

Always interesting to see an old comment thread brought back to life...

No, power vacuum isn't my original idea, someone else's cleverness, I suppose.

As for pulling out, Perhaps Russia shouldn't be so quick to throw stones in a glass house; cue the inevitable commentary on their occupation of Georgian lands. But, hey, it's usually easier to point at other problems than deal with you own, eh?

I'm having trouble finding the words you attribute to Obama spoken anywhere, but reality's passe,ne?

Pull out and let the people that live there sort it out or.... continue to occupy their lands and kill the resistance?

Did you come up with the "Power vacuum" phrase yourself? Its very clever of you.

When they offered him the prize he should have been able to reflect on all the crap he has done and the lack of positive deeds and said, "No thank you. I don't deserve this"

What he did was say, "I'm a hero, follow me to change change change" What a joke, people buy any shit peddled to them.

Why are you projecting your anger at the Nobel Prize committee at the US President? It was so awkward, even he had to insert a polite commentary on not having earned it. I mean, if that isn't graceful enough for you, I'm not sure what could be.

There seems to be a lot more emotion here than thought, so I think I'll leave this thread to itself.

@chromal can say that there wasn't a better person than your war mongering NWO flag waving President who should have got the Nobel Peace Prize.Your answer will say a lot about you

[kalpoider]

the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke its a elites gong they gave it to Henry Kissinger in 1973 while he was killing Asians by there thousands. Whoever supports the NWO will get the Nobel Peace Prize its got nothing to do with peace

[chromal]

What was the alternative to sending in 30000 troops? Pulling all present out suddenly and watching a bloodbath in the power vacuum?

Really, Obama is stuck with a pile of bad options left by his predecessor, but has a responsibility to choose the least damaging choice before him.

Rather than raging criticism, I would accept rational debate on what the best way forward is; anything less is unimpressive.

[arcanekrusader]

Don't you understand? We must slaughter all potential enemies, their families and their neighbours in order to achieve peace! And maybe a few more, just in case.

As long as we have NWO/elite scum in office and other high positions of power, we will never see peace.
