#4 American actions were "obviously" linked to Obama's decision to set a timetable for leaving Afghanistan. The US leader had "jumped the gun" and now "the Americans are in a hurry.

President Obamas policy to set an arbitrary withdrawal date from Afghanistan is the biggest blunder of his presidency thus far. (And Boy Howdy has he had some bigguns.) Going forward, friends and enemies alike, have reflexively viewed every decision and action through the spectrum of his domestic politics. He could both mitigate the foreign policy damage and save face with the electorate by a making a full-throated reversal that is conditions based. But for a man that views his country primarily as a historic oppressor and only belatedly as a liberator he is oddly comfortable with defeat on both fronts.
