President Obama Accepts The Nobel Peace Prize

US President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on Thursday but not without some controversy.

In his acceptance speech, President Obama said he saw no conflict in accepting the Noble Peace Prize just days after sending 30,000 troops to war, "some will kill and some will be killed" the President said.

President Obama also said he admired previous Peace Prize recipients, such as Martin Luther King, who preached non-violence.

The President also stated that "the instruments of war do have a role to play in preserving the peace." The President continued by saying "The United States Of America has helped underwrite global security for more than 60 decades, with the blood of our citizens and the strength of our arms."

Some frequent critics, like Republican Newt Gingrich, commended President Obama for reminding the committee that sometimes 'war is the best path to peace'.
Although Gingrich said he thought the Presidents speech was "very Historic" he also, along with others, questioned why President Obama  received the award after only a year in office.

President Obama was also considered rude, by some, for only staying one day and not attending a Save The Children's concert or having lunch with the King.

Obama: Troops To Afghanistan - Back To Drawing Broad

US President Obama is not accepting the current Afghanistan Troop options given to him without changes. The President insist on an 'exit Strategy' before sending extra troops.
 

In a leaked letter to the White House, Karl Eikenberry,  the US ambassador to Afghanistan, calls for the plans to be reconsidered. The ambassador claims Afghanstan President Hamid Karzai's government needs to first tackle corruption, which continues to threaten democratic stability in the country.

The ambassador also argues that a troop increase will cause Afghanistan to be more USA reliant.

The US military's top commander in Afghanistan General Stanley McChrysta, however, has requested the deployment of 40,000 more troops to  stamp out violent. There are currently 68,000 US troops serving in Afghanistan.
