No link yet, but it's not a joke. It's on breaking news at several websites.

My reaction was, WTF? The president of a country which is fighting two highly questionable wars winning the Nobel Peace Prize?

 

It's not like he started the wars.

I mean.  I can't even name what he would of done to have won the Nobel Peace Prize though.  Unless you count not being Bush.

 

Oh and fun fact.  Theodore Roosevelt is the only person to have ever one the Ultimate Peace Prize (Nobel) as well as his countries ultimate military award.

He didn't start them but he didn't stop them either... and by all accounts he's going to expand one of them.

One good thing is his position on Guantanamo IMO... but nowhere near enough to warrant a peace prize, especially as it's still open right now.

 

Guantanamo is still open?  News to me.  I thought it'd have been shut down by now.  That's disapointing.

They seem to suggest that the prize was given for his fancy Nuclear Disarmerment speech.

Which yeah, you'd like to see results from first.

I'd rather of given it to Morgran Tsviniana.  He could of kept Zimbabwe in brutal civil war with west support... and likely SHOULD have.  However he came to a peaceful agreement with Mugabe to slowly gain control and stop the violence...

All while his wife died in a tragic accident and it would be even easier to just lash out and cause violence.
