Thorbjorn Jagland,
chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, said today that President Obama
“really ought to consider” returning his Nobel Peace Prize Medal immediately,
including the “really nice” case it came in.
Jagland, flanked by
the other four members of the Committee, said they’d never before asked for the
return of a Peace Prize, “even from a damnable war-criminal like Kissinger,”
but that the 10% drawdown in US troops in Afghanistan the President announced
last week capped a period of “non-Peace-Prize-winner-type behavior” in
2011. “Guantanamo’s still open. There’s
bombing Libya. There’s blowing bin Laden away rather than putting him on trial.
Now a few US troops go home, but the US will be occupying Afghanistan until
2014 and beyond. Don’t even get me started on Yemen!”
The Committee awarded
Obama the coveted prize in 2009 after he made a series of speeches in the first
months of his presidency, which convinced the Peace Prize Committee that he
was: “creating a new climate of…multilateral diplomacy…an emphasis on the role
of the United Nations…of dialogue and negotiations as instruments for resolving
international conflicts…and a vision of world free of nuclear arms.”
But, he revealed the
committee members were all “legless drunk” the day they voted, as it was the
start of Norway’s annual aquavit-tasting festival. The “totally toasted”
members listened over and over to replays of Obama’s Cairo speech, tearing up
and drinking shots to the glorious future: a black man leading America and the
world into a new era of peace, hope and goodwill. “For a few hours we were all
18 year-old students again at the beautiful, occasionally sunny University of
Bergen! Oh, how we cried for joy!”
The chairman said the committee weren’t “going
to be pills” about getting the Prize back because they still “basically really
liked” Mr. Obama and that sending it back in a plain package by regular mail
would fine if it would save him the embarrassment of a public return. But added
Jagland, “things could get nasty” if the committee didn’t see it by the time
they announce the new Peace Prize winner in the fall. He and the committee then
excused themselves to resume their celebration of Norway’s annual
aquavit-tasting festival. The White House
had no comment. It later announced an aggressive new covert CIA
initiative to identify and apprehend Al Qaeda operatives in Scandinavia.
