This Fredrik Heffermehl is a far, far left whackadoodle from way back.
Even so he’s got a point. The Peace Prize people were so hasty to give Obama a prize (apparently for not being George W. Bush) that they overlooked the possibility that most of the Bush doctrine would survive through most of Obama’s first term. You might think it ridiculous that anyone gives a prize for showing a weak military presence, but it’s even more ridiculous to give a prize for anything before it was earned.
