He is normally a hawkish and fairly conservative Democrat. But he is also a consumate politician - hes the "best" Pork barreler on the hill.
My take is it was a political ploy.
Worth noting is that that last week the senate and house were both shown a new withdraw plan laid out by the Pentegon.
If you compare what he said and what the plan says it looks like he just took the Pentegons plan massivly exagerated the parts the would be popular with the public. He likely thought it would never fly but that is would make him look good and probaly encourage implentation of the Pentgons plan.
