"I want him (Bush) to tell me just what was the noble cause that Casey died for. Was it freedom and democracy? Bullshit, he died for oil. He died to make your friends richer. He died to expand American imperialism in the Middle East ..." -- Cindy Sheehan, Crawford, Texas 8/5/2005"Hello friends! I have three words for the Nobel committee and for my president: ´how dare you!´
How dare the committee give the Peace Prize (which will be known from here forward as the ´Peace Prize´) to Obama and how dare he accept it?
How dare the committee legitimize the war crimes and other crimes of the Bush regime by rewarding Obama for continuing them?How dare they award the ´Peace Prize´to a man who they say wants to reduce nuclear arms, but is waging a terrifying nuclear war in the Middle East by using weapons coated with depleted uranium that is causing a sharp rise in cancers and birth defects there?
How dare they award the prize to a man who they claim exemplifies American Values when those values are war, torture, environmental degradation, and drone bombing abroad and environmental and economic ruin at home?
This ´Peace Prize´ is a slap in the fact to parents like myself whose child has been killed in the Bush/Obama wars, now approved of by ´Peace committees.´
If you listened really carefully to the speeches today--with ears not clogged by the hope-nosis of Empire--you heard Obama say ´War is Peace´and you heard the clarion call of the international Robber Class, that the only way to peace is through war, war, and more war! The Robber Class has told us, once again, that there is no other way! War is the only way!
Well, I join with you in solidarity today to tell the Robber Class: Bullshit, we reject such stinking thinking and we reject the ´honors´of the establishment as we say to them: `We refuse to play your violent games!´ -- Cindy Sheehan, Oslo, Norway 12/10/09
