IMHO, the real reason that he did it is to distract his supporters from his impeachment and build up his creds for the coming election. This is shades of Nixon, who secretly persuaded the North Vietnamese to hold off settling the war so that he could be credited with making peace when he was elected. Never mind that thousands of soldiers, on both sides, were killed because of this.
