'It’s the Lisbon agreement, an agreement that, you know, others, President Bush, President Obama, everyone has agreed is the direction that we go in Afghanistan.'" from above linked article under video.
I think that it is stupid for any commander to tell the enemy when he will leave. All they have to do is wait and when he leaves step in and take over.

Frankly I think calling the president naïve was very mild.
