Walt argues against the "safe-haven myth" in Afghanistan and that Obama's justification for escalating the war is flawed. This was in turn criticized by terrorism analyst Peter Bergen.

Famous quotes containing the words perceived and/or mistakes:
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Logic must look after itself.... In a certain sense, we cannot make mistakes in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
