Oh yeah, Barrack Obama was given the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize? Faff that. He himself said that he didn't earn it (1 year-in presidency!). 54% Americans believed that he didn't earn it.

It is with very great regret that I sign this petition, but I feel it is morally the right thing to do. I had phenomenally high hopes that our President would be a torch bearer for the true message of Peace. Instead he has brought death, destruction and devastation to vast areas of the world, and made us less safe by creating more enemies. (comment of a petitioner to the Nobel Prize committee, asking them to take away Obama's Nobel Prize).
This award is testimony to your success as a leader of a free country aimed at creating a safer and more peaceful world. (F. Sejdu, Kosovan president. Of course he says it's rightly given to Obama.)
Selecting President Barack Obama for the Peace Prize was a political decision of gross stupidity...This was a very bad decision and Barack Obama should have been man enough to refuse the prize. If he had, he would have helped preserve the integrity of the Nobel Peace Prize and also demonstrate a disarming degree of modesty.
How could he have snatched the prize from such people as the great Zimbabwean humanitarian and champion of freedom, Morgan Tsvangiri, or the renowned Greg Mortenson, a former U.S. Army doctor who has set up schools for girls in tough, Taliban-dominated areas of Afghanistan.
These people are real heroes; brave, decent, effective and modest contributors to a better world.
Colombian Senator Piedad Cordoba, who mediated to end the civil war in Colombia, apparently was nominated, too. But he is not on TV every night so he cannot get it.
This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been a hideous display of cynical politics. The blame does not all lie at President Obama's feet. He was, after all, offered the prize by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.
The Peace Prize process is very different from the procedures used for other Nobel prizes, such as medicine and literature. They are decided by professional academicians but the Peace Prize is awarded by a small committee of Norwegian politicians. That is quite a problem. At the time Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, set up his prizes, Norway was in a political union with Sweden and apparently Mr Nobel thought Norwegian politicians were less corrupt and more humane and visionary than their Swedish counterparts so he determined the Norwegian Parliament should set up a committee and choose the winner.
They have come up with some odd results. Mahatma Gandhi - the father of peaceful protest to free hundreds of millions of people from colonialism - did not win them over. He was not worth it, apparently. (former Australian foreign minister, A. Downer)
The Nobel prize for peace? Obama should have won the 'Nobel Prize for escalating violence and killing civilians. (spokesman for the Students)
I urge the American people to bring the killers to justice. I urge them to expose the hypocrisy of the 2009 Nobel Prize laureate. To some, he may be that. To me and my family, he is nothing more than a child killer. (grandfather and father to two folk killed in American airstrikes in Yemen).
Al-Qaeda opposes ISIS because their largely Shiite. Spain wasn't ever a major player ( to my knowledge ) and Al-Qaeda also has camps all over central Africa where America doesn't have any real involvement besides aid.
like i said before. the leader of AQ was bitching to the other islamic groups out there that they should stop fighting each other or the west is gonna kick their ass
he recommended to first expel the western forces out then they continue to fight
