Can a Nobel Peace Prize be rescinded?

[reformist2]

Not that it would stop you-know-who from doing you-know-what, but a strong statement from the Nobel Committee threatening revocation of the award certainly would be memorable...

1. Wishful thinking.

2. Peace Prize

Have they rescinded Henry Kissinger's Nobel Peace Prize ?

Many undeserving people, including President Obama and Henry Kissinger have received the Nobel Peace Prize.

3. Wow, who would have thought in 2008 that Kissinger and Obama

would have so much in common.

4. For about the 90th time

The standard for the prize is not never ever taking the position that military action might ever be needed.

5. awarded to who "shall have done the most or the best work for . . . the abolition or reduction of

standing armies"

I suppose one could argue that military action will do exactly that

6. Gosh, it is totally amazing how this comes up every other month on DU.

Is there a schedule?

Maybe Obama could put back all the nukes that were secured due to the work that earned him that award. Would that make everyone happy? Would that make the world a more peaceful place?

7. What, have you given up on un-election? Moved on to the consolation un-prize?

[Puzzledtraveller]

8. Or, can he win it again?

[reformist2]

9. Actually, that would be the ultimate in absurdity - all the world would have to laugh.

[Mike Daniels]

10. You know who shouldn't have received one in the first place

What exactly had he done at that point to deserve the award? That particular recognition seemed to be entirely due to him not being Bush versus any singular or combined accomplishments he had achieved at that time.
