Barack Obama accepts Nobel Peace Prize with stern defence of war
I sure hope this was the change that all of Obama’s progressive supporters were looking forward to: a War Hawk with a Nobel Peace Prize to authenticate him.
Oh, and by the way: where have all those war protesters across the country gone? Oh, wait, that’s right — they only dislike Republican wars, not Democrat wars. Silly me. 
From the U.K. Times Online:
President Obama today accepted his Nobel Peace Prize but still said that it is sometimes necessary to go to war.
He opened his speech by acknowledging the controversy over the choice of a wartime president for the prize and saying he reserved the right to take action to protect the United States.
Mr Obama said the use of force was sometimes justified, especially on humanitarian grounds, and in the case of al-Qaeda, negotiations would not cause them to lay down their arms and that a non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler.
He argued that people must accept "the hard truth; that violence cannot be eradicated and nations sometimes must wage war to protect their citizens from evil regimes or terrorist groups".
And here’s a video where the Dalai Lama says that it was “too early” to give Obama the Nobel Prize.
Well, the Nobel Prize isn’t about merit. They threw that out ages ago.
