Via: CNN:
President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway on Thursday but acknowledged the questions surrounding the award.
Obama, along with first lady Michelle Obama, walked into Oslo City Hall at 1 p.m. to a trumpet fanfare and sustained applause.
In other news:
The Pentagon announced Monday the first step in the surge of more U.S. forces to Afghanistan, saying 1,500 troops from an infantry battalion task force at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina will deploy later this month.
Another 13,500 troops will deploy by the end of spring 2010, including an additional 6,200 Marines from Regimental Combat Team-2 at Camp Lejeune; 800 from I Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton, California; 3,400 troops from a Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Brigade, 10th Mountain Division from Fort Drum, New York; and 4,100 support forces, according to the Department of Defense.
President Barack Obama announced last week he would deploy a total of 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan in the surge, with plans to begin withdrawing them as soon as July 2011.
