Obama: All nations must follow standards for war

OSLO (AP) - President Barack Obama, accepting his Nobel Peace Prize, says all nations must follow standards on the use of force.

The president, who last week ordered 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan, says he reserves the right as commander in chief to act unilaterally to defend the U.S. But he also said he is convinced that sticking to standards strengthens the countries that follow them - and isolates and weakens those countries that don't.

Even when confronted with an adversary that doesn't follow any rules, Obama said the U.S. must remain a standard bearer in the conduct of war.

Obama spoke Thursday during a ceremony at city hall in Oslo, Norway, where he formally accepted the peace prize he was awarded in October.

Wow, what he says makes total sense and the lack of standards Bush applied made the US one of the most hated nations around.

MY GOD! The President wants to adhere to the standards of war.......that fucking bastard.

[FORD]

If only he would stick to the standard of ONLY going to war in the actual defense of the United States of America. Which hasn't been the case at any time since August 1945.

The irony is Obama gets a prize for peace while conducting a war...

[Kristy]

No, you hick. For continuing a war that was started by the previous Administration.

[ELVIS]

Hey she-bitch, Obama campaigned on continuing the war in afghanistan and has supported it ever since he became a senator...

[kwame k]

No, you hick. For continuing a war that was started by the previous Administration.

Exactly......

I love how people have the memory of gnats sometimes.

Elvis doesn't have the memory of a gnat.

He's just a right-wing, racist, hypocritical, neanderthal redneck cunt who likes to alter history and change the facts to justify his racial and political hatred.

Add to that his drug addiction, and you need to cut him some slack.

Exactly......

I love how people have the memory of gnats sometimes.

it's quite sad actually that this is how things in our wonderful country have become.

it breaks my heart that memories and attention spans have disintegrated into nothingness.

the rest of the world is fucking laughing their collective asses off at how stupid and pathetic we americans have become.

it hurts. but the sad fact is, it's the truth.

[Baby's On Fire]

The world is laughing at how the right-wingers still insist the USA has the best health care, best justice system, best this-and-that in the world, regardless of the facts.

It's a joke....I love the USA and almost moved there, but it's become a fucking joke without realizing or admitting it.

Fuckheads like Dick Cheney only make it worse...,propogating the idea that the USA can do whatever the fuck it wants, regardless of international law or morality.

That half pint fuck needs to be eliminated.....what an evil piece of shit he is.

And all the assholes like him

I love you too, baby...

[Baby's On Fire]

Being a nurse, you probably dream of me and your "oversized" syringe.........That's another thing that bothers me.

I'm terrified to think it, but Georgie Bush and Cheney are probably in your fantasy menage as well.

I'm sure you're view of torturing other men is a perversion of even Cheney's version of it......

[ELVIS]

Yeah, I'd break bones, pour acid in eyes and open wounds, and dangle the live bodies over a fire...

[Kristy]

Being a nurse...

Nurse?

I thought his job was being a script writer for Fox News.

[ELVIS]

No, FOX would be much more entertaining if I were writing the material...
