    RT - "According to the Russian president’s special envoy in Africa, Mikhail Margelov, the idea of nominating Dmitry Medvedev for the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating in the Libyan conflict belongs to the Tunisian foreign minister, Muldi Kefi."

    Surely this is a joke? Then again, Barack Obama got one, so it doesn't seem so rediculous I suppose :rolleyes: . Putin is more deserved of a Peace Prize for all he's put into Russia's economy for the last 2 years or so. Hopefully he will get the chance for presidency come 2012 elections!

    When you look back through the history of the prize, some truly ludicrous winners emerge. My personal favourite is Henry Kissinger in 1973.

    Yeah, real ticker for the prize. The Caucusus, journalists critical of their govt murdered, strange case of a 'dissident' billionaire indefinitely incarcerated etc

    Brilliant.

    Is CNN US Propaganda? I know it isn't "state-owned", but boy do they hype up US's politics.
    At times, I wonder...
    RT reported it first, so I picked that site.

    He likes to take command as though he is, but he isn't (wait were you joking?). He's PM!

    Medvedev=President.

    Sorry for double post!
