Walt has written that President Barack Obama erred by breaking with the principles in his Cairo speech by allowing continued Israeli settlement activity and by participating in a "well-coordinated assault" against the Goldstone Report. 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 have a sense of going my own way, and I don’t really think much about whether it’s going against the grain. I don’t really want to spend a lot of time worrying about how I am perceived by other people.”
—Kathleen Collins (1931–1988)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
