Phil,
Of course! If only we would listen to a group of five Norwegians, who obviously have the inherent wisdom and forethought to know what is best for our country. I know it’s old fashioned, but I still cling to two notions: that we have the greatest country in the history of mankind, and that we should always act in our interest first, then the interests of the “world” at large.
If only we had known that the secret to our success lay in the hands of the Committee! Imagine the untold prosperity in peace and treasure the world would have seen!!!! You’re right, we should have listened to the Nobel Committee when they honored Carter with their award – at that exact moment we should have listened and taken note that the committee was utterly void of usefulness, and undeniably a partisan tool of the European liberal elite in furtherance of their agenda . Jimmy Carter!?!? Are you kidding me? Give him an award for Habitat for Humanity, that is a truly noble cause. But don’t bestow accolades on a man who sides more often with Palestinian terrorist groups than Israel, who directly meddles in U.S. foreign affairs long after his nightmarish administration left office, and continues to rouse the rabble with his incendiary racist rhetoric in an effort to do what no one but the peanut farmer himself comprehends.
Mohamed ElBaradei – championed by Western elite and the anti-American bloc. Been in the job several years now, all the while “trying” to prevent Iran from developing the bomb when in fact he seems more content ridiculing America, Israel and anyone else who says Iran is close to bomb fruition. He claims the Iranian ruling elite aren’t “fanatics,” and claims “Israel is the number one threat to [the] Middle East.” Even France accused him of withholding critical information relative to Iran’s progress in their pursuit of the bomb. His credibility is worthless – but that didn’t stop the Nobel Committee from lauding his accomplishments in checking U.S. intentions.
Victor Hanson Davis summed up ElBaradei perfectly the other day:
"Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei is a living metaphor for all that is wrong with post-Western society. He now proclaims that Israel — democratic and constitutional — is the "number one threat" to the Middle East. That he made this comment from Tehran — after his hosts have serially promised to wipe Israel off the map, and after his own agency missed an entire weapons facility run by an autocratic theocracy — says it all.
ElBaradei, who was educated in the West, and much of whose family lives in the safety and prosperity of the West, has made a career of appeasing Iran, lecturing Westerners about their assorted sins, and saying nothing about the dictatorship in Egypt (for which he once worked). Indeed, beyond Egypt, he has said nothing about the Middle East's self-induced pathologies — from tribalism, gender apartheid, and statism to dictatorship and religious intolerance — which are a far more significant cause of the region's economic stagnation than is Western colonialism.
That ElBaradei has been showered with awards from Western governments and universities — among them the Nobel Prize — reveals how well he understands the West's timidity and lack of principle. He knows that he and his family are safer and freer outside Egypt than they are inside Egypt, and he knows that Israel is not going to nuke its neighbors or announce that it would like to wipe Syria or Egypt off the map. He also knows that elites in the West like to be chided by Westernized non-Westernizers about their assorted sins — it allows those Western elites to alleviate their guilt at very little cost.
In short, if ElBaradei didn't exist, he would have to be invented."
