I'm not a Bushie, but what if it was a snub? Who really cares what the Nobel committee thinks?

If you had known about the enourmous amount of lobbying and political pressure from a large number of countries (often involving your country) and organisations going on towards Norwegian diplomats and politicians to try to influence the decision, you would not make such a senseless statement.
