"Obama may personify the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party, but a pacifist he is not.
Just days after taking office, Obama killed his first victims in Pakistan via predator drone. Over 120,000 U.S. troops are still in Iraq. And not only has Obama already escalated the war in Afghanistan, he is contemplating an additional troop surge. The United States still maintains an empire of troops and bases around the world. Obama has threatened to take military action against Iran.
Although conservatives have bemoaned Obama’s plan to decrease defense spending ever since he took office, it turns out that defense spending is up for fiscal year 2010... an increase of $20.5 billion.
Of the 872 U.S. soldiers who have died in Afghanistan, over one fourth of them (231) died during the short time that Obama has been in office.
Since Obama took office earlier this year conservatives and Republicans have shown the world that there is something they love more than their movement or their party – war."

Like Bush, remember, when Obama talks about war, he's really talking about peace. Since Obama has talked so much about war, it only stands to reason that he would get the Nobel Peace Prize.
