Taliban Calls Obama Peace Prize 'Unjust'
Source: AFP

KABUL - The Taliban Friday condemned the decision to award this year's Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama, saying he had "not taken a single step towards peace in Afghanistan".

"We have seen no change in his strategy for peace. He has done nothing for peace in Afghanistan. He has not taken a single step for peace in Afghanistan or to make this country stable," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP.

"We condemn the award of the Noble Peace Prize for Obama," he said by telephone from an undisclosed location.

"We condemn the institute's awarding him the peace prize. We condemn this year's peace prize as unjust."

5. With a few modifications...
You've got the GOP press release...

GOP Calls Obama Peace Prize 'Unjust'

Washington - The Republican Party Friday condemned the decision to award this year's Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama, saying he had "not taken a single step towards peace anywhere".

"We have seen no change in his strategy for peace. He has done nothing for peace. He has not taken a single step for peace or to make this world stable," GOP spokesman John Smith told AFP.

"We condemn the award of the Noble Peace Prize for Obama," he said by telephone from Dick Cheney's undisclosed location.

"We condemn the institute's awarding him the peace prize. We condemn this year's peace prize as unjust."

8. Maybe they can name Limbaugh an honorary member
of the Taliban. Their philosophies seem to match. A nice embossed certificate would be good, so Rush can frame it and hang it where it can be seen by his sycophants.

22. Give us Bin Laden and Al Qaida. THEN never mind a "single step."
You watch that man run straight into the arms of peace. If Peace is your lists of wants. You can have it. But Bin Laden and Al Qaida is on our lists of needs. That list is nonnegotiable. There must be Justice for the 3,066 victims of 9/11. That too is a most noble pursuit that cannot be abandoned.

34. Birds of a feather flock together!!
Edited on Fri Oct-09-09 02:27 PM by Vehl
No wonder these two spout similar messages!


Ps: Both are religious fundies
Both hate science and progress
Both preach hatred towards "the other"
Both thrive on stoking the racial and religious fears of people

35. Obama the Peaceful: "I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments
"Let me be clear, I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations."
