Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, told Fox
News' Chris Wallace that President Barack Obama should not travel to
Oslo in December to accept the Nobel Prize. Cheney called the prize a
"farce" that could only be legitimized if the family of a US military
member accepted it.

"I think the president himself understands he didn't earn this prize
and therefore the notion that this White House has said he would go to
Oslo to accept the prize would add to the farce," said Cheney.

Yes, spit in the face of Europe. *

That's exactly what Bush or Cheney would have done.

Why didn't you continue with her idea of sending the mother of a
fallen soldier? That would send a message that peace doesn't come
free, which is something the Norwegians tend to forget. I think the
USA lost a few more soldiers during WWII than they did.

And WW1.

We invaded a country on what's been proven was trumped up intelligence
and we're going to send a member of our military as a shining example
of peace?

Cognitive dissonance is a concept you righties would benefit from
understanding.

I don't hold much hope since the double standard is the de facto
standard with "conservatives."
