Whoda thunk: “Obama should be deprived of the Nobel Peace Prize”

Obama Peace PrizeFrom Dennis Kucinich, sure.  A lot of the Left (and formerly active anti-war folks) aren’t too happy with their LightBringer.  But PRAVDA??

American President Barack Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people.”

The head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Pushkov suggested U.S. President Barack Obama should be deprived of the Nobel Peace Prize in the event the Americans strike a military blow on Syria, he wrote on Twitter on Friday, August 30.   “If the United States strike Syria without a sanction from the UN, the world community must demand the Nobel committee should deprive Obama of the Peace Prize,” he wrote.

It is worthy of note that U.S. leader Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people.”   Previously, the draft resolution providing for the use of force against Syria had not been approved at the UN Security Council: Russia and China did not support the document.

I wonder if the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is now seeing this as we are: that they gave out this world renowned price for merit as if it were simply a self-esteem plastic trophy given out to elementary school kids for showing up for soccer practice.  After all, what “international diplomacy” efforts did he accomplish to have earned that title, really?

To be honest, I can’t either.  So if he didn’t earn it, perhaps I have to agree with…..yuck….Pravda?
