Another possible way of looking at it is aligned with the stated rationale of the committee. It is akin to reinforcing positive behavior in hopes that the end result can be molded..... much like the raising of a child. Since Obamanation has stated the intent to "negotiate" with the enemy, close Gitmo, exit Iraq and has already dumped the missile shield....... the award could be the ego salve that causes him to ignore advice from within.

What a mess we're in.
