anyone who does not see that clearly after the rejected wars in Libya, Iran, Syria, and now Iraq, is simply a victim of the propaganda salvo of the media and the neocons still in control of it.

The way the media has manipulated public opinion by turning America's military commitment to prisoners of war or conflict into a bad thing, and how America has been convinced not to celebrate such a thing, or even the thing of capturing a real live terrorist villain, is frightening, an example of the power of propaganda. There is a reason the military has a massive Psych-Ops operation.

And the media has one too. Do not make the mistake of thinking that it is not effective, right wing, left wing or wingnut, does not matter, it is done became it is effective.

Some people realize that American people have been the target of domestic Pscyh-Ops operation long before Operation Iraqi Liars Storm's eventual failure blew the lid off the obviousness of it all, but not until the damage was done, mission accomplished.

Now they (the lackey media) want to launch Operation Iraqi Liars Storm 2; The Return
Of The Neocons?

Screw them, and yes we can this time, because the guy in the White House gets it. Alfred Nobel's medal sits on his desk.

Which is why the neocons and their captured media divisions so cry and prance and dance and squirm when asked the tough questions, this even modest pushback never happened in the first operation, the Dixie Chicks heresy met with a traditional burning at the stake showed what happened if anyone dared to counter attack.

Remarks by the President at the Acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize

Oslo City Hall
Oslo, Norway

1:44 P.M. CET 2009 A.D.

THE PRESIDENT: "Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, distinguished members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, citizens of America, and citizens of the world:

I receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility. It is an award that speaks to our highest aspirations -- that for all the cruelty and hardship of our world, we are not mere prisoners of fate. Our actions matter, and can bend history in the direction of justice.

And yet I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the considerable controversy that your generous decision has generated. (Laughter.) In part, this is because I am at the beginning, and not the end, of my labors on the world stage. Compared to some of the giants of history who've received this prize -- Schweitzer and King; Marshall and Mandela -- my accomplishments are slight. And then there are the men and women around the world who have been jailed and beaten in the pursuit of justice; those who toil in humanitarian organizations to relieve suffering; the unrecognized millions whose quiet acts of courage and compassion inspire even the most hardened cynics. I cannot argue with those who find these men and women -- some known, some obscure to all but those they help -- to be far more deserving of this honor than I.

But perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars. One of these wars is winding down. The other is a conflict that America did not seek; one in which we are joined by 42 other countries -- including Norway -- in an effort to defend ourselves and all nations from further attacks."

...........

"We must begin by acknowledging the hard truth: We will not eradicate violent conflict in our lifetimes. There will be times when nations -- acting individually or in concert -- will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified.

I make this statement mindful of what Martin Luther King Jr. said in this same ceremony years ago: "Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones." As someone who stands here as a direct consequence of Dr. King's life work, I am living testimony to the moral force of non-violence. I know there's nothing weak -- nothing passive -- nothing naïve -- in the creed and lives of Gandhi and King."

That last sentence is the one that bears repeating. Despite the drone attacks, side discussion necessary, a real blemish on his record, Obama, has remained true to those words and the words he spoke in public on the record 5 years ago now.

Really, no wonder blood thirsty warmongers and short term thinkers hate him ever so much, he is their evil opposite Bizarro World twin.
