President Obama defended his Nobel Peace Prize on Tuesday, saying that Americans “don’t see any contradiction” in him ordering an attack on Libya to make sure “people aren’t butchered because of a dictator who wants to cling to power.”

“When I received that award, I specifically said there was an irony because I was already dealing with two wars,” Obama said in an interview with CNN from El Salvador. “So I am accustomed to this contradiction of being both a commander-in-chief but also someone who aspires to peace.”

Some foreign leaders have called on Obama to return the Nobel Peace Prize he accepted in 2009 since ordering the Libya attack.

It's not that bad. I mean, Rummy got a Defender of the Constitution Award after all. That's probably a bigger irony.

BOTH don't deserve the awards. Donald Rumsfeld was slammed too.

Look at the other people who have gotten it. It is perfectly appropriate when you remember the 1984 double speak. "War is Peace"

my avatar says that, it is a poster awake designed. You can see it more clearly at his zazzle page for 'revolution wear'.

If I were talented, I'd spoof "Papa Don't Preach" with a chorus of "I'm keepin' my peace prize" somehow.

I finally figured out the whole peace prize thing. They were giving out the "piece" prize. As in piece of ####

What did he get the prize for, anyway? I don't remember hearing an explanation that made any sense at the time...

This should be the final nail in his coffin. The ONLY reason he was elected was because he was anti-war. If we can get an anti-war GOP nominee (Paul) he will destroy Obama in the general.

With sad irony - that's how George W got elected. I think his call for a humble foreign policy and not policing the world put him over the top in a close election.

Maybe the big O got the peace prize preemptively for deciding long ago not to lead into his 'splendid little wars' with a false flag attack. In that way, he could be considered a huge improvement... :rolleyes:
