He was PM twenty years ago.
Now he's just another clown with a twitter account, just like the rest of us.
Or if you believe the Internet, he's either a CIA spy or a drug trafficker.

Moments after it was announced that the United States and its allies had reached a nuclear deal with Iran, the drums began beating for a Nobel Peace Prize. Carl Bildt, the former Swedish prime minister, tweeted happily:
"I think the work of the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament this year just got much easier." 4:11 AM - 14 Jul 2015
On Wednesday, a director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, an influential think tank with ties to the Nobel organization, recommended that the 2016 prize be awarded to Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
The Vienna deal is a capitulation to one of the worst regimes on earth. Far from requiring the Iranians to dismantle their illicit nuclear program, the accord leaves almost all of it intact. In exchange for little more than a promise to delay its development of nuclear warheads, Tehran is rewarded with $150 billion in sanctions relief and, within a few years, the lifting of the UN embargo on conventional weapons and missile sales. The Islamic Republic is the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism, yet nothing in the agreement requires any change in its notorious behavior. And despite the regime’s long record of treaty violations and deceit, the deal enables it to stall for almost a month before complying with a demand for access by inspectors — hardly the “anytime, anywhere, 24/7” inspections that the Obama administration had claimed it would insist on.
The White House wanted to sign a deal; Iran’s rulers wanted to ensure their path to the bomb and nuclear legitimacy. Both got what they wanted. The consequences will be a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. . .

Why not? They gave Arafat one.
“The consequences will be a nuclear arms race in the Middle East...”
Israel, with Saudi Arabia’s concurrence, may stop this arms race before it starts. Israel has the means to do it. And Netanyahu has the gumption...Tehran may never be the same...
Maybe they can deliver the prize in an Obama Death Star, I mean drone
“Israel needs B-52s.”
Would be nice...any other POTUS might make them available...but of course with any other POTUS than this PONS it would not be necessary.
(I should find a way to say POhalfNS...)
They should give it to Kerry but change the name to the Nobel Gullible Idiot Prize.
If there were such a thing as an anti-Peace prize, this would win hands down.
There was no Nobel Peace Prize in 1939. I guess the outbreak of World War II prevented the committee from awarding it to Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain for the Munich agreement.
It shouldn’t be. But after 2009 nothing would surprise me.
