Bush, Blair Among Nobel Nominees as Deadline Looms

OSLO (Reuters) - President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair
are among nominees for the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize before a Sunday
deadline for nominations despite failure to find weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq.
"Nominations are pouring in," said Geir Lundestad, director of the
Norwegian Nobel Institute. He said he gets letters and up to 1,500
e-mails a day from people either supporting or denouncing candidates.
Among nominees are the European Union to mark its expansion to include
former East bloc states. Pope John Paul, the Salvation Army, former
Czech President Vaclav Havel, Chinese dissidents are also among
nominees.
"Bush and Blair definitely still deserve it," said Jan Simonsen, a
right-wing independent member of Norway's parliament who nominated the
two for the 2004 prize shortly after the U.S.-led war toppled Iraqi
dictator Saddam Hussein in April.
"Even though they haven't found those weapons they got rid of a
dictator and made the world more safe," he told Reuters on Friday,
sticking by the choice. "They got rid of a madman."
Saddam's alleged weapons of mass destruction were a main justification
for the war. None have yet been found and Bush's National Security
Adviser Condoleezza Rice admitted on Thursday some pre-war
intelligence was flawed.
