Nobel Peace Prize for Bush urged
Geopolitical expert Jack Wheeler says 'W' most deserving by far

A leading intelligence analyst says President Bush is far and away the most deserving candidate to receive the Nobel Peace Prize this year for bringing "actual real freedom and democracy" to millions.

On his website, To the Point, geopolitical expert Dr. Jack Wheeler writes, "There is only one individual among all humanity who has brought actual real freedom and democracy to tens of millions of people in our day, and who has both the capacity and determination to bring actual real freedom and democracy to tens and tens of millions more. It is, quite frankly, ludicrous to suggest that there is anyone on this planet more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than George W. Bush."

In his column, Wheeler explains that nominations for the 2005 award, which will be presented in December, closed this month.

"I can assure you that GW is on the nomination list," writes Wheeler, "along with Victor Yushchenko of Ukraine, Micael Sakashvilli of Georgia, exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasrin, and Rebiya Kadeer, a political prisoner in China for advocating freedom for her Uighur people of colonized East Turkestan."

On his site, dubbed "the oasis for rational conservatives," Wheeler states that more evidence to bolster Bush's chances will appear this year, including the future stabilization of Iraq and the defusing of Syrian-back terrorists.

Writes Wheeler: "As Iraq stabilizes and Syria's terrorist sanctuary is neutralized, all eyes will be on Iran. For the president of the United States to identify on global television Iran as 'the world's primary state sponsor of terror,' and to look directly into the camera and proclaim: 'To the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you,' leaves little doubt that the days of Iran's Mullacracy are numbered."

Wheeler's subscribers-only piece goes on to describe what is being done to prepare Iran for freedom.

"Iran has already begun to swarm with small teams of CIA (together with British MI6 and Israeli Mossad), Delta Force and other SpecOps," writes Wheeler. "U.S. fighter jets violate Iranian air space constantly now, luring Tehran to turn on air defense radars so they can be 'templated' in order to develop in the words of one Pentagon official, 'an electronic order of battle' to take out the nuclear facilities."

Concludes Wheeler: "In 2002, the Nobel Committee gave its award to Jimmy Carter, not for anything he did for 'peace' but as a consciously directed insult to George Bush. Its members could redeem themselves for this act of world-class pettiness in 2005. They won't. Envy trumps all other human emotions. No matter how much he deserves to be, George Bush won't be in Norway next December. But by next December, the world will be a freer and more peaceful place thanks to him."

N E W Y O R K, Feb. 18 — George W. Bush takes the bronze in his debut on the nation's greatest-president list, boosted by a strong vote from the Republican judges. A more venerable Republican, Abraham Lincoln, wins the gold, with the silver medal to John F. Kennedy.

Sampling, data collection and tabulation for this poll were done by TNS Intersearch.

An ABCNEWS.com poll finds those are the standings when Americans are asked to name the country's greatest president. Aside from Bush's sudden arrival, the biggest change is a 10-point drop in Ronald Reagan's position, from first place on Presidents Day last year, when 18 percent picked him, to a tie with Bill Clinton and Franklin D. Roosevelt for fourth place this year.

Reagan lost ground as Republicans in particular cited Bush, who's been riding an extraordinary wave of public approval for his response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Among Republicans, Bush finishes numerically first as the greatest president. Among independents he's third, and among Democrats he's fifth.


Who's the greatest president?

This year Last year
Lincoln 20% 14% (third)
Kennedy 14 16 (second)
G. W. Bush 13 0
Clinton 8 9 (fourth)
Reagan 8 18 (first)
FDR 8 6 (fifth)



Historians may differ, of course, and recency does play a role in a question like this — presidents who're fresher in the public's memory have a much better chance of making the list. Among the 19 presidents cited by respondents, all but five served in this century.

Abe Is Tops

But, as Lincoln shows, greatness can have staying power. The 16th president, he had served barely over a month into his second term when he was assassinated on Good Friday, April 14, 1865, 136 years ago. But still he tops the list today as the greatest U.S. president.

The reason, perhaps, can be found in no better place than his second inaugural address, delivered as the Civil War consumed the nation. Each side, he said, "looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged …

"…Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said 'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

Everyone's a Hero to Somebody

Interestingly, while Lincoln is placed first by whites, he's No. 2 among blacks, who instead overwhelmingly choose Clinton as the greatest president. Americans age 65 and older, meanwhile, have another choice — Franklin D. Roosevelt tops their list.

There's also a home-region factor. Lincoln, a son of Kentucky turned Illinois rail-splitter, lawyer and legislator, tops the list in the Midwest. But George W. Bush finishes first in the South, likely with a big push from the Texas vote.

Not all mentions went to the brightest lights of the American presidency. One respondent's choice as the greatest president was Millard Fillmore, the 13th president (1850 to 1853). Even at the White House's own Web site, Whitehouse.gov, which might be expected to be charitable, he's described as "an uninspiring man" who reached the presidency by dint of "methodical industry and some competence."

Methodology

This ABCNEWS.com survey was conducted by telephone Feb. 13-17 among a random national sample of 1,025 adults. The results have a three-point error margin. Sampling, data collection and tabulation were done by TNS Intersearch of Horsham, Pa.

If what I have read is correct, I'd like to see Yushchenko get it. I haven't actually heard of the other candidates before though, so I don't know.

"U.S. fighter jets violate Iranian air space constantly now, luring Tehran to turn on air defense radars so they can be 'templated' in order to develop in the words of one Pentagon official, 'an electronic order of battle' to take out the nuclear facilities."

They mean that the US is trying to make the Iranians reveal their positions and strengths, which for immobile radar installations means they can be avoided or destroyed more easily if the US does attack.

Sounds much more like opinion than truth.

Yeah he sould get it alright!


But unfortunately he won't get what he deserves!

[holy_saiyan1]

but you have to admit that some real progress has been made...

- Libya giving up a decades-old weapons program and stalling tactic
- the Palestinian state renouncing Hamas and Hezbollah and telling them to stop
- streamlining and overhaul of the US intelligence culture ("reform" and "bureaucracy" are usually antonyms!)

The list goes on. Bush may not be directly responsible for the many changes in our world today, but as the old proverb goes, a butterfly flapping its wings in Tokyo can create a thunderstorm in New York.

so give him the chaos theory award

[linskyjack]

All of Bush's accomplishments are works in progress that could go anyway---Bush didn't get the Palestenian's to renounce Hezbollah and Hamas, the death of Yasir Arafat did. Iraq hangs in the balance, SS hangs in the balance, Education hangs in the balance---Lets do a poll in 2008 when he has finished serving.
