Many years from now, this will make a great Trivial Pursuit question
Q: Who was the first Nobel Peace Prize winner to order 30,000 additional troops to war only two months after winning the award?
Remember, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in part “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for the abolition or reduction of standing armies.”
Before anyone freaks out, I disagree with but like our president. It’s just that I like irony more.
Huh. Yes, that’s an interesting thought . . . Comical, almost.
Although I don’t think he should’ve won the Peace Prize (but that particular Nobel prize is kind of a joke to me now), I do think Pres. Obama received it well. He seemed to be in just as much shock that he won as the American public.
