An obscure organization nobody has ever heard of – the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons – was awarded the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.
This despite the fact that the OPCW was apparently ineffective in deterring two separate poison gas attacks by Bashar Assad on his own citizens – attacks which resulted in thousands of deaths. More people died in chemical weaons attacks in the past 12 months than at any time since World War 2, when Hitler used Xyclon B gas to kill approximately 6 million Jews, Gypsies, and Homosexuals. (full disclosure – the democratic party continues to dispute that Saddam Hussein killed an entire village of 5,000 Kurds about a decade ago, and continues to assert that “other causes” may have resulted in the mass extermination).
When asked about the legitimacy and deservedness of this award, a spokesperson for OPCW carefully characterized the prize as “forward looking . . Much in the same manner as giving the Nobel Peace Prize to America’s President Obama before he had done much of anything either. However, we hope to justify the faith that has been shown in us.”
Malala Yousafazi – the Pakistani girl shot in the head by a Taliban assassin while she was on her way to school – refused to be discouraged by the Nobel selection. “They are afraid of the retributions by radical Islam, if they focus attention on me. Who can blame them? Nobody wants a bullet to the head. That’s why I’m still in the UK, and haven’t returned to Pakistan.”
In related news, the Prime Minister of Libya was kidnapped at dawn this morning by Islamic radicals for failing to provide advance warning to Libyan extremists about the US Navy Seal raid last week whicht captured a terrorist leader responsible for hundreds of deaths. He was later released, and not shot in the head this time, as this was evidently “just a warning”. It is not known if any of the people who kidnapped the Prime Minister were responsible for the murder of our Ambassador and others at Benghazi, a crime that remains unpunished
