‘Trophy Head’ For President to Commemorate Easter Attack on Gadhafi
WASHINGTON DC – A ‘trophy’ dedicated to President Obama commemorates the Easter Sunday attack on Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The sculpture of Gadhafi’s head on a platter by Daniel Edwards is being unveiled online today by Cory Allen Contemporary Art at CACAnet.com.
The sculpture titled “Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Part II” features Gadhafi’s head on a platter.
“I am shocked at how Gadhafi went from not being a target on the first day of spring to becoming an official target on Easter Sunday,” said artist Daniel Edwards. “I am in support of our President, but he needs to relinquish his Nobel Peace Prize. There’s not enough room for it and Gadhafi’s head on the same shelf,” added the artist.
It was reported Sunday that the Gadhafi compound was hit by NATO, and confirmed by an official that the Libya leader was a target. Last month, Vice Adm. William E. Gortney said at the Pentagon, “We are not going after Gadhafi.”
“If the President should want the trophy for his presidential library, it can be claimed at Daniel’s studio anytime,” said the artist’s spokesperson Cory Allen about the sculpture.
