This reminds me of Carter's last Nobel.

This reminds me of when Carter won the Nobel a few years ago, ostensibly for his negotiations on the N. Korea nuke program. Really, it was the Nobel commitee trying to rebuke the Bush admin in the runup to the Iraqi invasion.

So, now we have Baradei and the IAEA winning, after they were right on Iraq(I'll never forget the slapdown of Colin Powell at the UN Security Council on the Niger forgeries,) and now, right again on Iran.

Mohamed ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency that he heads won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. .........

ElBaradei said in Vienna, Austria, that the prize "sends a strong message" about the agency's disarmament efforts and will strengthen his resolve to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

"The award basically sends a very strong message, which is: Keep doing what you are doing," ElBaradei said. "It's a responsibility but it's also a shot in the arm. They want to give the agency and me a shot in the arm to move forward."
