This is either brilliant or profoundly naive.
Brilliant if he tries and fails then has all the reason he might need to take the gloves off (as if we haven't) or can it be the latter?

I couldn't believe it when I heard it. The Taliban must be doing a happy dance while loading magazines.

Edited to add: If The President was quoted accurately.
