Stringing along is not a bad way to put it. More accurate would be, whatever notion will get him there and keep him there. I don't think he is truly dedicated to any idea.
This is the key to understanding the entire Trump presidency - however long it may last. He is a completely empty vessel.
In the case of the Afghanistan surge, it appears now that McMaster sold the idea by showing Trump a photo, taken in the early 1970's, of Afghan women walking through the streets of Kabul in mini-skirts.
McMaster basically stated, "This is proof we can get their women back into revealing clothing. Because they already had a history of it."
And everything Trump had ever said about Afghanistan and Obama immediately went out the window. He was sold, dammit.
