Good news/bad news Q Poll on war and peace for Barack Obama.

Approval for the Afghanistan escalation is up by nine points in the past month -- voters now think the war is a good idea by a 57-to-35 percent margin.

A healthy 60 percent favor his new troop surge, according to the Quinnipiac survey, which has a two percent margin of error.

But only 26 percent think the president, who has been in office for less than a year, deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

*************************
Republicans may have finally found something to agree with Obama on: Fighting the enemy. I'm sure GOP support is what drove the increase in Afthan support.

But there's no denying the farce behind Obama winning the Nobel. Apparently his supporters can't even jump on that bandwagon.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in order to make him behave the way the committee wanted him to.
IMO their reasoning makes it more of an insult than an honor.
Obama as Pavlov's Dog.
