Quote:
Tony Blair and George Bush have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for waging war on Saddam Hussein.
The pair have been put forward by a Norwegian politician who said toppling the Iraqi dictator had reduced the threat of weapons of mass destruction.
Anti-war campaigners condemned the move as "completely unbelievable" and said it made a mockery of the prize.
Other nominees for the award include the European Union and the Pope.
The winner will be announced by the five-member Norwegian awards committee on 10 December.
Andrew Burgin, of the Stop the War Coalition, said: "This is completely unbelievable. It shows the stupidity of this peace prize that it is given to people for starting wars rather than stopping them."
