It's not gonna happen.
A lot of people are quite reasonably outraged at the thought that George Bush and Tony Blair have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. That they even got nominated makes me wonder what other doozies there are among the other nominations.
However, unless the Nobel Committee has been replaced, they are never going to give the prize to Bush. When Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, CNN reported that
"Gunnar Berge, head of the Nobel committee, said: "With the position Carter has taken on this, it can and must also be seen as criticism of the line the current U.S. administration has taken on Iraq."
