Nice job Obama. You somehow managed to use a peace-award speech as a platform to justify your newly discovered jingoism. Sure you basically made a mockery of the award you were receiving by defending your hawkish Afghanistan policy....but hey....at least you pleased Sarah Palin.

What's Obama supposed to say? He didn't ask for the Peace Prize. He campaigned on withdrawing from Iraq, and always said he's in favor of going into Afghanistan with increased troops.

Is he not supposed to defend our going into Afghanistan now? Is it that you don't agree with going into Afghanistan?
