Barack Obama has arrived in Norway to receive his Nobel Peace Prize - as the U.S prepares to send thirty-thousand more troops to Afghanistan, to regain momentum in the war. The prize was awarded in October, sparking debate as to whether a president who's been in office for less than a year is worthy of an honour which is traditionally given for long-term achievements. Some find the decision even more surprising as the U.S. is still involved in two military conflicts - in Afghanistan and Iraq.

As the U.S prepares to send more troops to the war in Afghanistan, Barack Obama's in Norway to receive his Nobel Peace Prize, awarded in October. The Nobel Committee said it wanted to praise Obama's efforts to strengthen diplomacy and co-operation between nations. But for many, the 44th U.S. president was a surprise choice. Republican Congressman Ron Paul says Obama's recent war plans show he shouldn't have been awarded the peace prize
