PRESIENT OBAMA RECEIVES THE NOBEL PRIZE AWARD

PRESIDENT OBAMA RECEIVES NOBEL PRIZE

Multiple sources/ 10/9/2009

President Obama is the recipient of the Noble Peace Prize. The committee that awards this prize is

made up of mainly Europeans. In 5 major countries, Gallup has polled, Obama is 6 to 7 times more

popular than previous President George W. Bush.

Numerous sources including the President suggested that the prize has been given too early.

It may be an attempt to move him toward a role in Afghanistan that is more supportive than

comprehensive. Thus, American troops would provide soft power by winning the hearts and minds

 of the people and making a strategy to train and feed a new Afghanistan army. Further, this approach

means that or may mean that training behind the scene and providing asymmetrical troops to attack the

mountains where Osama may be situated reduces troop losses. Air cover including drones would provide

an assist to the war. This means that the U.S. could be out of Afghanistan as a standing force much earlier.

The prize may be a slap at George Bush who pushed the idea of American exceptionalism. That our country

Is superior to others and they should follow our lead.

It is also a derision to the numerous scenarios devised by Generals (but not all) for a major land battle.

Thus, Obama has a complimentary force in the war on popular opinion that a supportive function is

superior to a comprehensive war.

All of this is a guess. We may find out that the committee had other reasons. It is quite a spectacular

award and Woodrow Wilson was the last to receive the Nobel.

Ocala’s and the expectations about his choices have been extended and intensified. The country is deeply divided about numerous cultural and economic issues. The prize does not bring the country together. There have always

been in differences of opinion, but in this cycle, the division started during the early stage of the Vietnam War.

Some suggest that there are a number of similarities between Afghanistan and Vietnam.
