I'd sort of forget the President hadn't received his prize until now. But the timing is good, because it comes shortly after he's escalated the war in Afghanistan. As he promised to do in his campaign. I'm not sure why people were surprised, given that he's doing more or less what he said he would do. But it does heighten the irony surrounding this "peace" prize.
From the article:
"He also spoke bluntly of the cost of war, saying of the Afghanistan buildup he just ordered that “some will kill, some will be killed.”
You can't accuse the man of lying. Regarding those that will be killed, I would add that Afghans tend to die in multiples of thirty.
