An alternative interpretation is that Obama knows very well the Afghan war
can't end well, but he needed to support it in the campaign as a way to
stick Bush ('wrong war') and present a side willing to deploy military

reelected, then bug out.

All this would put him in Henry Kissinger/Christmas-bombing territory.
