President Obama departed Wednesday night for this Scandinavian city, where he will accept the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize just over a week after announcing plans to deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan. Obama is to receive the award Thursday during a solemn ceremony at Oslo City Hall. Afterward, aides said, the president will deliver a speech that confronts the seeming paradox of receiving the prestigious peace prize while serving as a war president.
