Worldwide Surprise Greets Obama Nobel Peace Prize Announcement.
Acknowledging that he was “surprised and humbled” by the news that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize, President Barack Obama today urged the international community to work together on addressing the challenges of the 21st centuryThere are essentially two kinds of Nobel Peace Prizes — achievement-based and “aspirational” President Obama is the first sitting U.S. president to win an aspirational peace prize for there have been no achievements.

As America weighs the interests of 1.54 billion Muslims (25% of the world) against the interests of 7 million Jews, Israel will be isolated.

And while Turkey will not fly with Israel, they will do military exercises with Syria.
There is a war coming and America will no longer be a reliable partner as her President considers the interests with those of a larger Muslim community. In the end, Israel does stand alone…
