Surely giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize before he had done anything except talk about what he would do to end persistent warmaking must indicate that all he had to do was talk the talk to arouse delirium for Woodrow Wilson method acting. Kissinger was called a war criminal for that and remains on the wanted list (not really) of some countries who love Obama who does not appear to be Strangelove in Ghandi drag. Talkers, aka diplomats and scholars and national security experts and judges and lawyers and peace-niks and anti-war NGOs and foreign policy tanks and RANDs and anti-WMDs, provide excellent amply rewarded apologia for war-threat beneficiaries like themselves. Terrorism Allah-sent to head off Cold War winddown. Reminds of the comsec-loving greeders who warn of cyber insecurity and privacy invasion and soul losing who pray and lobby for the protection money to never end. Come on, nasty hackers, aka sinners, sysadmins, security pros and TLAs, churn those threats and counterthreats you were trained for. NDAs and official secrecy and confessional hootches protect you, well, except for your ass crack of insecurity-mongering. Question is, what classified threat was inrrefutably delivered to Obama (as with predecessors) about himself and his family, aka the nation, that caused a change of heart and mind. Could be related to the prospect of becoming poor rather than a rich -- no greater fear in capitalists. Courage is hardly contagious, trickery and deception are viralent.
