Looks like your keyboard got stuck for the first part of the title... Nobel Peace Laureate Obama Threatens Force Against Syria.

Oh fuck no! I've heard way too much crying that the U.S. is getting involved in other people's affairs and that the rest of the world is better off without us.
Sorry, we should sit this one out. You guys can handle it. |

WTF? The last time they gave him one he started activating the military more times than President Bush. He's been assassinating American citizens with his 'kill list'. Give him another Nobel and he'll start a new holocaust.
For the love of LIFE, never give that piece of shit Obama a peace prize again!

| Maybe Assad should release the number and names of the people who had been tortured by and on behalf of the USA in Syria, as long as he is able to do that. |

Oh, yeah. Our secret ally, Syria. 
Syria has been a long-time ally of the U.S.S.R. and then Russia. The only time Syria has ever even pretended to cooperate with the U.S. was for a brief period of about a year, during the Iraqi insurgency, because they didn't want the war to spread to Syrian soil in pursuit of foreign operations using it as a secure base to fuel the insurgency. Even then, they turned out to be full of shit, and we went in by helicopter and mowed down 80 people at a base they were continuing to allow to operate.

Don't forget those nasty Achaemenids. He's way behind them.
Also, Afghanistan is not a "full-blown ground invasion". It was a failed state, incapable of what anybody would consider modern warfare. There was little resistance, and the Taliban were easily ousted from power. Our total death toll there just today exceeded 2,000, which means it has been safer than a training operation would have been of similar size and scope.
There is a persistent insurgency there, but that does not make the operation a "full-blown ground invasion". I haven't even heard of a tank there firing its main gun. Since the first couple of months, with the exception of a couple BCT-sized zone clearance operations, it has been an "occupation" and "counter-insurgency".
Also, Obama has sent more men to Afghanistan than Bush, and under his awe-inspiring leadership the leading cause of death of troops involved in it has become suicide.

| When it comes to violating human rights, the worst dictators had always been the preferred allies of the USA. |

Once again, nobody is likely even listen to crap like that when spoken by a Spaniard, the most human-rights-violating people ever to have soiled the surface of this planet.

I am forced to inform you (in great sadness that is) that Mr Obama will not get the next Nobel Peace Prize. This one is reserved for Mr Putin and his ongoing struggle to strengthen human rights in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Sibiria.

These days, nobody gives a shit about los conquistadores españoles. However, most Europeans are looking with disgust overseas to find a hypocritical human-right-violating totalitarian terror nation USA which is suppose to be our ally. |
