There is a bit of irony in that just 10 days after announcing the deployment of 30,000 more American troops to Afghanistan, President Obama will accept the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Thursday in Oslo, Norway.
The award, which the Nobel committee said was for Obama's "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," comes as he presides over wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and faces an American public that is increasingly skeptical about the U.S.-led efforts there.
Obama will walk a delicate line in his acceptance speech, and the White House said he will acknowledge that he accepts the peace prize as a war president.
Aides said he will address Afghanistan and the decision to add troops there and present it in the overall context of the award he is accepting. Senior administration officials said that Obama will discuss what the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq mean in the context of peace and his role as president and the role of the United States.

Mr. obama doesnt deserve it all! President Bush deserves it more than Mr. obama
He deserve it
What a JOKE!
Congrats again Obama.
He is a joke but at least he sent the troops better late than never .
With affirmative action you don't have to prove yourself just show up and get your award !
are you serious?! he doesn't deserve it..he hasn't even done anything! I think I just threw up with disgust
8:05, the troops are being deployed in 2010 per the request of the commanders on the ground. If you would turn off Rush and actually go out and get the facts, you would see that there was never any delay in fullfilling the troop request, only a bunch of "brilliant republican military strategists" who would rather commit troops first; ask questions later
9:02 There was a 90 day delay are you a sleep or are you listening to the main stream media spin . As for committing troops it was he military leader he picked who told him what he needed and still a delay because Obama didn't want to upset the left wing kooks . Another Obama failure !
