Nobel Committee asked to strip Obama of Peace Prize

The Bolivian President and a Russian political leader have launched a campaign to revoke Obama's honour after the US attacked Libya.

Liberal Democratic Party of Russia leader and Vice-Chairman of the State Duma Vladimir Zhirinovsky released a statement today calling for the Nobel Prize Committee to take back the honour bestowed on US President Barack Obama in 2009.
Zhirinovsky said the attacks were "another outrageous act of aggression by NATO forces and, in particular, the United States," and that the attacks demonstrated a "colonial policy" with "one goal: to establish control over Libyan oil and the Libyan regime." He said the prize was now hypocritical as a result.

Bolivian President Evo Morales echoed the call: "How is it possible that a Nobel Peace Prize winner leads a gang to attack and invade? This is not a defence of human rights or self-determination."

Morales won the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2006.

Well sort of.

Considering there are 200+ countries, someone was going to eventually. Considering who it was, meh. What was the committee's response? I'd think that's more important.

Did I read this right:

One has to wonder if the VP will wade into the Kusinich effort on impeachment.... http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/...a-attack-an-impeachable-offense-for-obama.php

The VP:

Ladies and gentlemen, I drafted an outline of what I think the Constitutional limits [garbled] have on the President with the War Clause. I went to five leading scholars, Constitutional scholars, and they drafted a treatise for me that is being distributed to every Senator. And I want to make it clear, and I’ll make it clear to the President: that if he takes this nation to war in {add country name}, without Congressional approval, I will make it my business to impeach him.

LOL

low bar? there was a bar?

I have always thought giving Obama the award when they did was idiotic, he never should have been award the Nobel Peace Prize, having said that.

Well he shouldn't lose it for something that was pushed through by the Arab League, France, Italy and UK.

He wasn't the only one to agree, in fact no one on the security council voted against it.
