why did obama receive the nobel peace prize?

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2009/press-release/

They don't talk about anything he's specifically done. I can't find anything that he's done online so here I am asking anyone who's reading, "How did obama 'strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples'? "

@redredred Ok, so you now you're switching from invaded to bombed.

The US has invaded 0 countries, during the Obama years.

The rest, is cleaning up the mess caused by our invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. What were you expecting? Break humpty dumpty, and then walk away?

@Northwest would you eathetvyoudd homed was invaded or bombed? how would you like your home cleaned up with a few bombs?Do you really think you can explain away the insane violence of the obama administration as just cleaning up after Bush?
Northwest · M
@redredred Simply responded to your lies.

Hmmm. Nearly a half million Iraqis were killed during the Iraqi invasion, on top of nearly a million, during the first invasion.

The Obama administration's policy, was to target the leaders.

Why? because the US had no choice, and this was the only reasonable way to deal with the aftermath of the Iraqi invasion.

Yes, this is, unfortunately, what cleaning up after Bush looks like.

and now were cleaning up after Obozo. But hey, at keast hescgot a shiny Nobel peace prize to put on his mantel. @Northwest
Northwest · M
@redredred OK, so, the bottom line, is that contrary to your claim, we did not invade 9 countries under Obama. I wonder if you Trump Heads, will ever acknowledge your lies.
redredred · M
I was going from memory and he did attack 8 countries after winning a bogus peace prize. If that irony is lost on you I begin to understand how you can support a dolt like Obozo@Northwest

Gee, that's what he always says, and he's always wrong.

You can keeping changing topics, but you're still wrong. Not unusual for a Trump head.

I'm absolutely right that Obozo bombed eight countries after winning a nobel peace prize. I dont expect a leftist to understand facts so you get a pass. Now give the computer back to your mommie.@Northwest
Northwest · M
@redredred Yet, it all has nothing to do with the claim, that you made, and started this branch. Let me repeat:

[quote]maybe for not invading nine countries. He only invaded eight.[/quote]
redredred · M
@Northwest if it were your city bombed I doubt you'd parse the distinction that closely. BTW, in modern military actions, bombing are a part of any invasion so for any practical purpose, there is no difference.

@redredred [quote]maybe for not invading nine countries. He only invaded eight.[/quote]

More obfuscating. Prove the claim you made, and stop the tap dancing.

I've covered that, you're just too dim to understand standard english. Ive raised three children and I understand how important it is to the childish to have the last word. Since there's clearly no point in discussing this further with you, you can have the last word.@Northwest

In your own mind. History has it down differently. President Obama did not invade 8 countries.

[quote]you're just too dim to understand standard english[/quote]

Says the guy who does not understand what invade means.

So far, you have not disappointed. Kudos. This is what happens in every discussion, where a Trump Head, who contributed the same number, or more, comments to a conversation, says "you want to have the last word". Irony is lost on them. Perhaps you should have learned something from your kids.

See the above.
