The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. No one can take it seriously after it was awarded to Yasser Arafat, the Murderer and Master Terrorist.

Nobel's peace prize is becoming a joke similar to the anti racism conference. Alfred Nobel would turn in his grave if he knew. What exactly DID Obama do for peace again?

"Obama's winning the peace prize shows these prizes are political, not governed by the principles of credibility, values and morals," Khaled Al-Batsh the terrorist spokesman makes a good point

Barack Hussein Obama! Barack Hussein Obama WHO? Barack Hussein I WON THE 2009 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE! HA!

Al-Batsch, I do not condemn the whole Nobel Committee, I only want to point out the very small Norwegian constellation of minds who believe that uttering (for the time being) empty words is the same with achieving something palpable. What a hoaxy confusion ! I don't even have a problem with offering this prize to Prez. Obama for his intentions may be genuine. My problem is with associating the President with the likes of Kofi Anan and Yasser Arrafat.

and work towards nuclear disarmament. His vision is far to great for some posters here to grasp.

Why are you surprised and critical? Obama has the conviction and the capacity to achieve peace in a world infected with villains. The prize was offered to such people as Begin and Shimon Perez who did absolutely nothing to promote peace and tranquillity in the Middle East. Moussa SUWWAN/PARIS FRANCE

Please send some representatives to pick it up in The Hague.

establishment of an Apartheid state goes to Lieberman, Netanyahu and Barak.

Yes, but the Israeli scientist earned it after many, many years of work on the subject and actually ACHIEVED something. Obama has achieved zero, driving a wedge even more deeply between Israel and the Palestinians and has managed to spout a lot fo hot air on a variety of subjects. Meanwhile, Americans are still fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.

OMG! A Nobel peace prize awarded to a megalomaniac and unbridled narcissist who has accomplished nothing other than dismantling American industry, banking, and health care while emboldening Americas enemies including Iran, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, etc. Seems about right for the Nobel committee

Tutuland. Ha,ha,ha !

Empty suit wins Piss Prize.The Teleprompter came a close second place..

Will they make him Emperor of the world? The man hasn't done anything!!!! Even though I am a Jew, I am starting to believe in all the anti-Christ stories.

Israel just ended another research project in Gaza on co-existence at the beginning of this year. The results were also documented by the Goldstone report.

Message ? The message is you are an Arsehole too cowardly to give your name.

The israeli scientist actually achieved something. What did Obama do to deserve it?

we are witnessing an institutionalized manipulation of truth, rejection of our past, control of propaganda and misinformation, where all that is known to have happened is rewritten

And Peres did his very best to achieve peace with the Palestinians, creating a framework for future agreements and an semi-autonomous Palestinian leadership - something unheard of until the early 1990's. Which wars has Barack Obama ended? Which conflicts did he resolve? What was his great contribution to minimizing armed conflict? Speeches and good will. Frankly, those don't help anyone.

As if Obama weren't already full of himself...

Obama kills civilians in all three and gets the Nobel Peace Prize. Olmert bombed Beirut and Gaza to stop the killing of innocent Israelis. Why didn't Olmert get the Nobel Prize? Maybe Bibi will bomb Iran and get it next year.

for aiding the peaceful transition of SA away from Apartheid. Where are the Israeli and Palestinian leaders to follow that example? Do they avoid coming out, fearing to be assinated by right wing extremists?

Now the quastion is whether Obama will start war on Iran with this prize ? the answer is clear NO.
