Disingenuous. It was a message for America's left to trust him that he still is an anti-war guy.
Why disingenuous? Because the reason he stated, while valid could have been delivered in private, with Afghan leadership, stating also it is being delivered in private because we don't want to tip our hand to the Taliban and Al Qaida.
The President is proving once again, that his lack of experience and partisanship-driven politics are a bad combination for America.
Not to mention that publicly it sends the message to the Afghan people that we won't be there to help them if the Taliban comes back. Helps them weigh their decision of who to support.
ReplyDeleteVery true - I think I've mentioned that in other posts but it pertinent here as well.
