This morining it was announced that President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. This is absurd, so absurd even liberal supporters are surprised.
President Obama has been in office a little over 8 months, and has not accomplished anything that would warrant him being awarded such an honor. Could he accomplish something in the future? Of course he could. He could surge in Afghanistan and bring stability to the country for instance. That would be an accomplishment worth praising, but as of now he hasn't done anything to deserve it. So why give it to him?
This is clearly a political move. The committee obviously chose to bestow such an honor upon him because he is the opposite of George W. Bush. But wait, is he? Currently he is prosecuting two wars, Iraq and Afghanistan, and is considering sending additional troops to the latter. Hopefully he does. He is using UAVs en masse in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a tactic that kills more civilians. He is using rendition, which is far worse than anything that happened at Guatanamo Bay.
So what say you?
