Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize –for not being George W.
Bush. This seemed unseemly at the time, but not outrageous. Seven years
later, it seems grotesque.
As the steward-in-chief of the American empire, Obama continued
Bush’s Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, and extended his “War on Terror” into
Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, and elsewhere in Africa and the
Middle East.
He also became a terrorist himself and a serial killer, weaponized drones and special ops assassins being his weapons of choice.
