Obama's Bush-Style Surge: Revoke Nobel Peace Prize

The U.K.'s Telegraph is anticipating that the newly-announced winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is planning a surge of up to 45,000 more troops in Afghanistan, bringing the U.S. total force there to 110,000 service persons:

The US is expected to announce a significant surge of up to 45,000 extra troops for Afghanistan after Gordon Brown said that 500 more British troops would be sent to the country...

President Barack Obama's administration is understood to have told the British government that it could announce, as early as next week, the substantial increase to its 65,000 troops already serving there.

This will be a terrible disaster. The Soviets could not subdue Afghanistan, and the wasted resources in their attempt is often cited as a reason for their final fall. It could be America's end too. The body-counts of our kids are likely to pile-up dreadfully, and we will probably be at much greater risk for a new round of domestic terror like the 2001 attacks. It is always right to turn the other cheek, but it is usually human nature to fight back.

I was congratulatory and glad that President Obama won the Nobel Prize, but I'm sure this should absolutely disqualify him from such an honor.
