When I first heard the announcement of when U.S. troops would be out of Afghanistan, I said "why are they giving a timeline? Don't they know that timelines can be used for both good AND BAD?" I hoped, and still hope, the announcement was a trick on the part of the U.S. government.

“[T]his is a dangerous enemy that has something that no enemy of the United States should have,” Santorum said, “And it was given to them by President Obama. And that is hope. They were given hope because the President of the United States said that he’s putting a timeline as to when American troops were going to leave. Once he’s done that, once he did that, he gave the enemy the hope that if they simply survive until then and maintain some level of activity that America will leave, and I think the best thing we can do for our troops is give them the best possible chance for success. And this President has not--, and I think this is part of the consequences.”
